Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Twin Peaks
We moved in to this building in 2004, it is a small apartment building with 4 apartments. We live on the top floor in apartment number 4, apartments 2 & 3 are rented to long term tenants and Apartment number 1 is set up as a tourist/vacation apartment.
We both love to travel and have visited over 40 countries. We have stayed in all types of accommodations, and feel we know what tourists want in a vacation apartment.
We have set up our vacation apartment as a “Home from Home” and have provided all the essentials to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable.
Debbie and I love to meet people from all over the world; we have made many friends, shared travel tips and enjoyed the odd glass of wine or beer with some of our guests. We both love San Francisco and feel very lucky to live in this vibrant city. It is great to hear positive feedback from our guests from the places we have recommended. It is equally great when we have repeat guests returning to visit again.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Twin Peaks is in the very center of San Francisco,
You can be anywhere in the city within a few minutes.
