San Francisco Furnished Vacation Family Home

Charming turn of the century home has been fully updated with modern appliances and fixtures, yet retains its historical character and classic San Francisco ambiance. Designed by famous architect, Charles L Bugbee, it was built after the 1906 earthquake. The home is on 3 levels including a spacious roof deck with truly breathtaking panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay and the City. Relax on the deck with your friends and enjoy a beverage together while watching the sunset over the bay and the hills of the Presidio. You're only steps away from well known SF restaurants and shops, as well as the Cable Car stop on our corner. High atop prestigious Russian Hill, it's a short walk in any direction to the City's top attractions; Polk Street cafes, Union Square shops, North Beach, China Town and Fisherman's Wharf.

The home sits above the entrance stairs and as you pass through the security gate to the private entrance, you'll begin to feel how special your vacation home is. Enter through front door into sunlit rooms with comfortable furnishings which invite you in and welcome you home for a quiet rest from the excitement of the City outside your door. Both living room and master bedroom enjoy views of the bay and the Golden Gate bridge. A large flat screen tv and entertainment system, along with an extensive library of books, dvd's and cd's, provide hours of relaxing reading, music and movies. Close the original pocket doors for privacy and the option of turning the living room into another sleeping room with the fold-out sofa bed. Cable tv and high-speed WiFi internet are provided along with a printer/scanner/copier for your convenience.

The inviting kitchen is functional and cozy with the chimney of the original brick fireplace adding warmth and interest. The appliances are modern; the gas Dynasty stove is a joy to work with for serious cooks; and you can enjoy the view of the Bay from the stove. Dishes, flatware, cooking utensils and a variety of cookware are provided. The open floor plan of the well lighted kitchen/dining room provides a perfect set-up for entertaining your guests and mingling around the fireplace while the meal is prepared. The small bath on the main level retains some of the original tiles and fixtures that were provided to re-build after the 1906 earthquake for those interested in historical elements.

The living room has a queen size fold out couch and the vintage pocket doors close the room off for privacy. The dining area has a day bed that sleeps one (if needed).

Privacy and flexibility come from having 3 bedrooms and 2 baths all on the second level. The master bedroom and adjoining updated master bath provide all the comforts of home with a queen bed, plenty of drawer and closet storage and recessed lighting for relaxing enjoyment of the Bay views. The master bath has been remodeled with a new tub and shower. The 2nd bedroom has a full size bed and the 3rd bedroom has a Frontgate queen size blow-up mattress. Six people can sleep very comfortably in the privacy of these 3 bedrooms. The second floor guest bathroom is fully remodeled with a modern shower built around the traditional light well. All bedrooms and bathrooms have plenty of closet and drawer space.

Continue your journey up the light filled stairs that open out onto the breathtaking deck. Whether it's family and friends gathering for a bbq or the two of you enjoying an intimate sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge, listening to the deck music system along with the bell of the cable car passing below, you will find the deck a favorite place among your many delightful San Francisco experiences.

NO NEED TO RENT A CAR; most major attractions are within Although, if you do have a car we offer one free parking space in a secure garage across the street. No SUV's, ONLY small cars. A second car parking is available for $20.00 per day.

                    This property was perfect for our family vacation in San Francisco. The location was ideal and the house was wonderful. The rooftop deck has a fantastic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay and the City. The owners were most helpful as we prepared for our family to enjoy and experience San Francisco for a week. We found that we did not need a rental car for our in city experiences. We were a half block from the Cable Car line and could use public transportation easier than driving. We did rent a car for our outside city experiences. Our family agrees that this was our most enjoyable family vacation of many, primarily because of the wonderful accommodations and helpful owners. We highly recommend this property.

                    Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

                    The house is lovely, very spacious, clean, open and inviting and as guests, we lacked nothing. You are very generous hosts, anticipating and accommodating every need. We found the binder of information very helpful, raising subjects that we had not even thought about. Consequently, our vacation was even more pleasant and interesting. The young ones especially made good use of the rooftop patio, which is simply awesome. They spent a lot of time there, with early morning coffee. We had several dinners there too where we would watch the sunsets. We highly recommend your accommodations to anyone who might be considering visiting San-Francisco and we would definitely use your place again, should the opportunity arise for us to return to the city by the Bay.

                    This home was absolutely perfect for our family celebration of an 80th birthday. It was more "lived in" than many other VRBO homes, but in a nice way. There were helpful items in the fridge and useful guide and other books. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and serving a crowd with plenty of pots and pans and dishes...no need to bring anything at all. The cable car really is at the bottom of the block...just be aware that it may well be full when it goes by and will not stop to pick you up. Having said that, we quickly mastered all the buses in the vicinity and were able to get around either on foot or by bus. No need for a car. Be sure to get a 7 day public transit pass that allows unlimited rides on buses, trolleys, and cable cars (but not BART). There are several large grocery stores (Whole Foods, Safeway, Trader Joe's) within about a mile radius (be aware that it a walk from anywhere involves steep hills!) but also some very useful small corner type shops within just a block or two. Don't miss La Boulangère (sic), a fabulous french bakery two blocks down Green Street. If you do one big shop at the beginning of your stay, those corner stores will keep you going thereafter. This was a perfect base from which to explore San Francisco's wonderful neighborhoods and the view from the rooftop to the Golden Gate bridge was just as lovely as the owners describe. Our only frustration with this home was getting information from the property manager in the months/weeks before our stay. She was very slow in responding and quite parsimonious with the information she provided. This caused some angst beforehand, but once we got there, everything was perfect.

                    Owner response: Dear Guest, Thank you for your 5-star review! As our reviews depict, we pride ourselves on providing the absolute best possible San Francisco experience. This is the first time anyone has mentioned any issue at all with our rental manager. In fact our rental manager prides herself on the level of service that she gives as well as her ability to make guests comfortable and confident that they have all the information they need to enjoy their stay. At the time of reservation and prior to arrival, a rental agreement is provided that includes detailed information about our home. We usually have a number of email exchanges and phone conversations between the property manager and our guests--as we did with this guest-- and we have always gotten very positive feedback on our responsiveness. Nevertheless, we appreciate this feedback and we will continue to respond expeditiously and professionally to all our potential and reserved guests needs.

                    Very comfortable and large townhouse. The views from the living room and deck are far more spectacular than the photos indicate. Excellent neighborhood with plenty of restaurant and shops. For those who are reasonably fit, it's an easy walk to the bay and the financial district; for others the cable car is half a block away.

                    My wife, my sister, and a friend spent one lovely week at this home. Beautiful view from the roof, and every convience was available. Owner's representative was very easy to work with. The garage is located one half block away, and you are near the trolley stop. The location was quite and peaceful. We had a lovely time. My only thing to note is that the house is a number of steps up from the street, and could be difficult for the less ambulatory. Outside of this, the house was A+++.

                    I don't know which was more impressive- the location, the views from the roof deck, or the comfortable home and hospitality. My family stayed for 10 days in May while my husband was in SF on business. We walked everywhere- from the Union Yoga studio down the street (highly recommended) to Trader Joe's for groceries. You can catch the cable car at one end of the street, or a bus to AT&T Park at the other end. It is obvious that the owners of this rental take great pride in keeping it up and making their guests feel welcome. I hope we have a chance to stay here again!

We love the City and look forward to sharing our comfortable home with other travelers.

                  Why the Owner Chose Russian Hill:
                  Who doesn't love San Francisco .... We have been fortunate enough to live in this unique home for the past 14 years and we love being in the center of the San Francisco experience. We enjoy entertaining our friends and family who enjoy visiting our home; something they have done since they watched us get married in our home's charming backyard garden. Each have their favorite neighborhood restaurants and shops, walks and runs, galleries and museums. And sharing the City with them is more than one could ask for!

                  The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
                  So close in proximity, we absolutely love jogging on the path at Chrissy Field, taking in the beauty and serenity at the beach while often spending time with our grandchildren kite flying on Marina Green. There's something for everyone right in our neighborhood.... including the City's best pizza, the freshest and authentic sushi, tapas, corner grocery stores and the original Swensons Ice Cream Shop that has been in the neighborhood for 60 years-- all within one block of our family home. Good thing we have a few stairs up to the house to stay in shape.
