Quiet, Newly Remodeled Garden Apartment in Pacific Heights
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Our garden unit was completely remodeled in the summer of 2011. It has a full kitchen with a five burner gas Bosch cook-top and combination microwave, convection, vent just above the cook-top. The refrigerator/freezer has a smaller profile to accommodate kitchen layout but is more than you’ll need for a few days or even a month. The kitchen is fully stocked with a full set of Calphalon stainless pans, a full set of knives and all the dishes and glasses you’d need to host a small dinner party in the garden on your visit.
The living room has a brand new 32 inch flat screened HDTV with a full stereo and DVD player. The TV has premium Comcast service including HBO if curling up on the couch and watching a movie is your way of relaxing after a hectic day.
The bedroom has a queen bed and the closet is large enough to accommodate a few wardrobes. The bedding will be changed weekly as part of the weekly cleaning fee if you are staying longer than one week.
The bathroom has a beautiful glass tile shower and granite counter tops. Towels will be laundered at the end of the week, but fresh towels can be traded out during the week if desired.
In the kitchen area, opposite the work area, is a wall mounted desk with a wireless router and secure WIFI network just for the unit. You can work late at night or just stay in touch while you are traveling. There is no printer in the unit, but if you need access to a fax machine or a printer that can be arranged with the owner as she has a home office on the property.
This unit has been designed to be the ideal home away from home for the frequent business traveler to SF, but it is also great for the vacationing tourist.
One of the things that makes this property ideal is the location. It is extremely easy to get downtown, out to the ocean or to any of the major fun places in SF via public transportation or you can park on the street with a temporary parking permit.
It is also located within walking distance to Fillmore and Sacramento Streets. Both with an ample variety of shopping, restaurants, movie theaters and live music venues like the historic Fillmore. There are also beautiful walks you can take from the unit through the mansions of Pacific Heights in into the woods of the Presidio and out to the Golden Gate bridge. Just ask and we’ll map it out for you.
The garden is lovely and very protected between the main building and the small Victorian cottage on the back of the property. It is ideal for enjoying your coffee in the morning during the warmer months.
We love pets, but do have strict rules about use of the garden so that it is always enjoyable and lush for everyone.
We live on the property and can be available to assist you in stocking the fridge prior to your stay so that you can 'hit the ground running' or in understanding the logistics for getting around town.

This apartment suited our needs perfectly. It was clean, quiet, secure, nicely appointed and slept 2, as advertised. The location was great, easy access to downtown and Fisherman's Wharf and Marin. The owner helped us a lot regarding nearby access to shopping, restaurants (Eliza's) and groceries. The garden in the back was really quite pleasant, although the weather was not warm enough for us to use it. For those who have a dog, there is a little park right across the street where he/she can be walked. The photos represent the property accurately New pillows would be good. The parking overnight is a challenge, and we often had to park 3 blocks away from the property, although the neighborhood was secure enough that we were not concerned. We would definitely consider returning, if our needs if the area do not change.Recommended for: Pet owners, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for your nice review. I hope we'll see you and your pup on a future visit. Cecilia

We stayed here for the first week of our honeymoon in April of this year. We cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. It was everything we could have wished for. The location was perfect for us. Pacific Heights is a quiet residential area with easy access to public transport and downtown SF. We used the buses most days but you could easily walk to downtown in 45 mins if you were feeling active. There is a fabulous selection of nice restaurants, bars and cafes within 20 minutes walking distance. The apartment itself is very comfortable and is well equipped. We enjoyed the modern kitchen which came with all the equipment and appliances we needed to cook up the perfect breakfast or a romantic meal for 2. We also found the wi-fi and cable TV very useful. Cecilia was very helpful. She pointed us in the direction of the local grocery stores and takeaways upon our arrival. Highly, highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed here for a week. The apartment is perfect and just like in the photos. It has everything you need and the kitchen is very well equiped. It's in a great neighbourhood with shops, restaurants and grocery stores close by. We really enjoyed staying outside of the downtown financial centre/downtown district. It felt much more homey and it was nice to leave the city behind at the end of the day, but just a close 10 minute bus ride away. We look forward to staying here again when we are back in SF.Owner response: Can't wait to see you again and thanks for the nice review. Cecilia

The apartment and garden are lovely. The space is decorated nicely with comfortable furniture and bed. The apartment is located near great shops and restaurants. It is wonderful to stay in a neighborhood that is full of San Francisco residents, and not crowded with tourists. The space is clean and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay in the Pacific Heights garden apartment.Owner response: Thanks Elaine, I hope we will see you and your son again some day. Safe travels. Cecilia

My daughter lives in Los Angeles and we love coming to San Francisco when we get together. Every time is more enjoyable than the last. Even though it rained for two of the five days, we still enjoyed our time! Cecelia was a great host, very helpful, especially when we couldn't get the DVD player to work. The apartment was so comfortable it made our stay that much more relaxing. The pictures that she has listed on the website were exactly how the place looked (beautiful and well kept) and it was equipped with everything that you needed for your stay. We enjoyed the neighorhood and how easy it was to get around by foot and mass transit. It would be easy to recommend this place to anyone!! We will definitely be back to SF and would love to stay again!Owner response: Thanks Francine. We'd love to have your and your daughter again soon.

I stayed here in August. I live in San Francisco but due to unexpected repairs on my home I had to quickly find a place to stay. My week in the apartment was quite pleasant. The kitchen has everything you need; a microwave/convection oven, nice pots and pans even a gas cooktop! The bathroom has been newly renovated and has a great radiant heater and a luxury shower. There is even a view from the living area of a lovely garden. The location is good; Starbucks a couple blocks away, the 1 California bus gets you downtown in 15 minutes and trendy Fillmore Street is a quick walk. I was very impressed by the homey atmosphere, the comfort and quality of the accommodation. Next time I have friends or family in town I will definitely try to rent this apartment for them!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2
