This stunning view apartment is situated on the top of Telegraph Hill, a historic and delightful neighborhood. It is the perfect location for experiencing all that San Francisco has to offer.

Being in the middle of North Beach (The historic Italian community) is an experience in and of itself. You can stroll down Grant street made famous by the Beatnik generation, eat at the best Italian bakeries and restaurants, and sip espresso in authentic Italian cafes before shopping for books at City Lights Booksellers. During the evening you can listen to live music, have a white nun cocktail at Tosca while opera blares, or take in Beach Blanket Babylon.
This 2 bedroom / 2.5 bath apartment has been in our family for 3 generations. It is meticulously cared for and carefully appointed with everything you could possibly want. It is the perfect apartment for a family vacation as well as a girls weekend and has the benefit of being in the heart of San Francisco.

Year Purchased: 1940
Why the Owner Chose Telegraph HillMy grandmother bought the 4-plex because she LOVED North Beach and she wanted our family to always be able to experience all North Beach had to offer and NOW you can too.
Owner's Map of Telegraph Hill
This apartment has been in my family for almost 70 years. My grandmother bought a 4-plex next to her house on telegraph hill in the 1940's. This is where I lived with my parents and brother until I went away to college. It is a lovely apartment on a quiet street on the top of telegraph hill. I love to visit there and I know you will too!

This was our first time to do a VRBO rental and it was a terrific experience. Jean, the owner was very nice and this listing is exactly as described. There is NO bad view from any window in the house. For our first time in San Francisco it was amazing to see the Golden Gate bridge from one bedroom, the city from another and the Ferry building from another. The house is very comfortable, has every amenity you can imagine and playing pool was pretty fun as an evening activity. Walking uphill at the end of everyday certainly helped us work off all the wine and food. We would stay here again.

This home was a perfect place for a family of four. You can't beat the location, as it's so close to great restaurants & coffee shops in North Beach. You do have quite a hike up Union street, so make sure you have good walking shoes. Great hub for walking to Chinatown, Pier 39, Ferry Building, etc. Jean has a great collection of books and board games -- which was nice to come back to in the evening. Great views from the living room and bedrooms. Parking in the garage below the home is available - as parking is very limited on the streets. Overall, a nice place to stay.

My husband I I rented this close-to-the-city & action apartment for the Christmas holiday. The wood burning fireplace and lovely peaceful location made this a great choice for our week in SF. Jean, our contact, was fantastic. We arrived on Christmas Day and she helped us settle in and then the next day checked in to make sure everything was okay. Definitely opt to get parking in the garage as the area surrounding the location is tight for parking.

This apartment on Telegraph Hill was a total delight and we would highly recommend it. It is spacious, clean, comfortable and with the added benefit of the pool table...fun. The location and views surpassed our expectations. The owners were extremely helpful. Parking in the neighborhood is hard to find and so the garage was nice to have. If the highest rating for properties is five stars, we would give this apartment ten stars! Thank you for sharing your lovely apartment with us. We hope to return soon.

Perched near the very top of Telegraph Hill, it's hard to choose what fabulous place to walk to from this cozy apartment. We stayed there four nights, and were sorry to leave. Its just a few blocks from the heart of North Beach, and a pleasant walk to more than a person can reasonably want to see of San Francisco. We didn't know quite what to expect, and we were very pleased not just with the location and the space, but the cheerful and personal help the owner gave in directions and recommendations for dining in the area. The weather was too cool to enjoy the patio, but just perfect to enjoy the fireplace. We'd certainly recommend it to friends.

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful pied-a-terre for one week and it was just not enough time! Every night when we returned from walking all over San Francisco we found ourselves so very happily ensconced in this comfortable and ample house on Telegraph Hill. Lori made sure we had everything we needed - even coffee and milk - when we arrived! She was a delight to work with and was always eager to offer advice as to where to go and what to so (she lives next door so was available to us all the time, but we tried not to bother her too much). Everything about this house was perfect: location (unbeatable: close to downtown, Fisherman's Wharf, parks, restaurants, main streets and avenues), amenities (super fast wifi, full cable TV, outside garden, car space)... we would return to this place in a heartbeat... thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

A Very Cozy Retreat

We spent a week in this darling apartment. It is everything it says and more. Since the building is older, I was expecting an older apartment but it has obviously been totally remodeled and updated with new appliances, bath, and furnishings very recently. It IS on the TOP of Telegraph hill which provides great views and an invigorating walk down the hill to all of the great restaurants on Columbus Avenue. There is a city bus that comes right to the property every twenty minutes until early evening and all the MUNI buses have GPS so you can use your computer or phone to know exactly when the next one will arrive. There is an excellent library of DVDs and a fireplace.One night when it was raining, and we were too tired to go out, we just lit a fire, opened a bottle of wine, had some snacks and watched a DVD. It was great! The owner was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. She has thought of everything you could need!

The apartment was beautiful, just as described. Perfectly clean and maintained. The apartment was terrifically furnished and appointed with everything you might need on a stay in San Francisco. We were there for a week and a half and had all we needed, every day. I wish we could have stayed longer. The owner was delightfully helpful and made us feel welcome and helped us find wonderful places in the city. She directed us to fabulous restaurants of all kinds, and told us about not-to-miss corners of the city. We could walk to so many places from this lovely apartment. (The apartment is on a quiet street, with incredible views of the bay and the city just around the corner!) We wish we could go back tomorrow! Near Coit Tower, Cafe Trieste, City Lights Book Store, Fisherman's Wharf, Ferry Building Market, China Town. You can walk everywhere! A cab came to our door and took us to Golden Gate Park. Restaurants galore. Both informal and fancy, all ethnic types of food, right down the street. We loved Washington Square Park, all the bakeries (Acme at Ferry Building, Boudin at Fisherman's Wharf), and we shopped at Fog Hill Market. The owner's hospitality was extraordinary. Enjoy!
