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.

    • A couple of friends and I stayed at the apartment a few days ago for a long weekend (we were in San Francisco for a wedding). The location was very convenient for getting around the city, and our stay at the apartment was comfortable and fun. Plus, the view of the city was amazing! Would highly recommend to any group or family looking for a nice place to stay while in SF.

    • The view was indeed fantastic. We took Paul's recommendation and tried Firefly which we enjoyed immensely. The flat is very convenient. The bedroom was super quiet which was a real treat. Paul was great to deal with and having our own parking spot was an added bonus. Thank you Paul!

    • We thoroughly enjoyed this very comfortable and well appointed apartment. There is excellent access to good public transport and it takes little time to get to the central city. The view over the city and across to the Bay is something to behold, especially in the evening as dusk comes along and the city starts to light up.
