Welcome to Landers Cottage, a small 1890’s single family house nestled on a beautiful side street in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Perfect for visitors looking for traditional San Francisco charm as well as a desire for privacy.
The cottage offers a cheerful living space (up one flight of stairs) and a private entrance. It underwent major restoration to restore it to an 1890's period style but with all the modern touches. While only 575 square feet, it wisely uses every inch to make it feel comfortable and roomy.
Non smoking house but allowed on the rear porch and in the shared courtyard garden. Your hosts live next door and are happy to help with sightseeing arrangements or any questions about seeing the city.
Best location for seeing San Francisco without a car (street parking only),it is in the geographic center of the city, a half block from the oldest building in town, Mission Dolores Church. Located three blocks from 16th and Mission BART station which serves both San Francisco and Oakland Airports.
Public transportation nearby connects you to the entire city by buses, rail system, subway and F Market Historic Trolley which travels to Civic Center, Powell Street, Embarcadero and Fisherman's Wharf. Museums, theaters, parks and most other attractions are within a short bus ride as are the Haight-Ashbury and Noe Valley neighborhoods.
Within walking distance are the Castro district and the hip Mission/ Valencia corridor, both known for their shopping, restaurants and night life. World class shopping and dining including such restaurants as Limon, Delfinia, Tartaine, 2223 Market, as well as local favorites Chow, Home and Catch.
