Watch DVDs or HD TV with Digital Cable on the 42" Plasma TV. Check your email or search online on our 18" Laptop computer, or connect with your own laptop via our secure in-house high speed Wi-Fi connection. Serve gourmet meals on the solid wood dining room table with hand carved French chairs. Relax in the garden at the wrought iron table or on the teak deck chairs. Rest peacefully on your queen size bed with quality linens and down comforter.
Wall to wall carpets in living room, dining room and bedroom. Beautiful oriental carpets throughout with tile kitchen and bathroom floors. An impressive collection of fine art on every wall. Formal living and dining rooms in front and a big Kitchen open to the large, cozy Great Room facing the rear garden.
Quiet Bedroom. Restful queen-size bed. Quality linens with down comforter. Euro and standard pillows with bedside lamps for relaxing/reading in bed. Bedroom closet with chest of drawers. Second closet in dining room. Extra chest of drawers in the Great Room.

It is easy for you to enjoy your visit to exciting San Francisco: Walk one block to a full supermarket, five minutes to Golden Gate Park Panhandle, ten to Alamo Square Park with its famous Painted Lady Victorians. Just a fifteen-minute walk to exciting Haight-Ashbury or to Buena Vista Park with its trails, tennis courts and panoramas of the bay, or thirty to the Castro or the Conservatory in Golden Gate Park.
Minutes by car from your own secure garage to Downtown shopping, Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, the Haight, Upper Fillmore and the Castro. Imagine not having to move your car every day to avoid tickets!
But why hassle with traffic and parking when public transport to everything is only a block away?
This is a vibrant, safe neighborhood with a good variety of cafes and restaurants within a ten-minute walk (yes, even Starbucks).
For a unique San Francisco experience, stay at our house and discover the pulse of the city or just chill out in a real home.
NO SMOKING - NO PARTIES - NO PETS.
See you soon! David

Map & Owner's Profile
Top Rated Flat in Central Sf Wifi Charm+Comfort+Garden+Garage
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose NoPa (North of Panhandle)
We have lived in the San Francisco area 40 years and purchased our SF home in 1997. In 2001 we began to spend time away and a friend suggested we try VRBO. We soon learned that people really enjoyed our home-like atmosphere. We are thrilled with the response we have gotten and work hard to keep our new and returning guests contented and feeling cared for. Visitors say they appreciate our knowledge of the city and our professional attitude.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Most guests mention the feeling of a being in a real home on entering the house. We think this is because we still live there part-time and keep the house comfortable and well maintained not only for our guests but for ourselves as well. We are also proud of our garden, keeping it maintained even while we are away. We paint, scrape, clean, renew, update and replace parts of the house every time we come to visit. We think it shows. Our guests certainly enjoy our home. Read the reviews! Over 50 now and all positive. We get this rating not because everything is always perfect (we do try, however!) but because we go out of our way to help our guests settle in and feel at home and we respond quickly to any question. Finally, if you are bringing a car, you will absolutely love our little garage. Parking rules in SF can make you dizzy. If you don't bring a car - great! - hop on the bus one block from the front door.
Walk here in 30 minutes or reach by bus in 5. Visit the Conservatory, Fern Forest, Rhododendron Dell. Play tennis, bocci-ball, throw a Frisbee. See the spectacular new DeYoung Art Museum and Natural H
Stand on the hill in wonderful Alamo Square Park - Ten minutes walking from the house. Enjoy the view of the famous painted ladies - a row of restored Victorian houses known the world over.
Both the climb to the top and the view when you arrive are breath-taking. Lots of quiet trails and places to rest and enjoy the view. Don't miss the splendid architecture surrounding the park.
This charming block-wide park three short blocks from the house is a pleasant destination in itself. A great place to walk or just relax and enjoy the sun. The childrens playground is great for kids.
The movie MILK was filmed here where the Gay Rights Movement took off. A vibrant area full of shops, bars and people watching coffee shops. Don't miss the famous deco-style Castro Movie Theater.
Remember when? Or always wondered what was the big deal? Can't miss this famous gathering place for the hipster, hippie and hip-hop.
Shop till you drop then lunch. Great walking and shopping. Highly rated restaurants abound.
All things fresh from the farm. A great way to start your Sunday and buy fresh for lunch and dinner. Take care of your body and have fun in the bargain!
Nopalito: Superb Mexican Cuisine. One of SFs 100 Best Places to Eat. Peets Coffee: Before there was Starbucks - there was Peet's Coffee. Still the best. Faletti's Foods: High quality in all department
A victorian wonder. Conservatory of flowers is great to see from outside and visit inside.
Art and Science for kids and grownups, too!
The latest restaurant addition in NoPa (Northern Park). Traditional French Bistro. "Great neighborhood place, very good food, and a reasonable price!"
If you don't know it - you gotta come anyway. Interesting food from all over the world. Park nearby and Walk. Their parking place is a zoo! But it sure is fun.
When you need a Real Butcher. High quality meats, fish, veggies. The best of everything (and prices to match). When food quality counts. Tt is closer than the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and the Grove

We are a retirement age couple who find ourselves away from San Francisco more often these days. Although we love our home and we love San Francisco, we also like to travel. Now we rent our home to guests like you while we are away. When we are home we are usually working to upgrade and refresh our house. We are confident you will enjoy the results!

Review Submitted: 10/26/11
This apartment was perfect for us. We chose it partly for the location, as we love to walk everywhere, and we certainly did that! Haight Ashbury and Golden Gate Park are very close, but we also walked to Japantown, Castro and Mission, and discovered lovely parks along the way, all with glorious views.For anything further we used buses, which we caught just round the corner,and which were really easy to use. Staying in the apartment helped to make us feel part of this lovely neighbourhood, and everything we needed was nearby. The apartment itself was wonderful - just as in the pictures, but with some very personal touches. Loved the artwork everywhere, and the interesting books.The garden room felt really cosy at the end of a long day, and it was lovely to be able to have lunch in the garden a couple of times.Above all, the owner, David, had thought of everything possible to make us feel comfortable and enable us to enjoy our stay. He was on hand (via e-mail!) to answer the slightest question before and during our stay, which was so much appreciated. We certainly hope to go back one day!
Owner response:We never cease to be thrilled when our guests love our home as much as we do. We look forward to adding you to our 'frequent visitors' club. Cheers!

We had a fabulous time and this home was perfect for our week to meet, greet and fall in love with our 1st grandchild. We highly recommend that our friends stay in this home when they come to visit and we will definitely try to stay there again. This apartment had everything we could have wanted or needed so it made our stay so easy and pleasurable. Plus we had a great week of sunny, mild weather!!! Thanks again for the hospitality and we look forward to contacting David next time we have a chance to visit SF.
Owner response:Thanks! Your recommendation to your friends is high praise which we value as we do your return visit. Both are signs to us that we have accomplished our goal of caring for and pleasing our guests time and time again.

Beautiful place, convenient location, garage spot

Review Submitted: 06/21/11
My wife and two small children (1 and 3) stayed here on a business/pleasure trip to San Francisco. The location is very nice; close to a Lucky's grocery store, Golden Gate park, a restaurant, and a couple of bus stops. Having a garage at the house was really convenient; we didn't have to worry about parking at any point during our stay. [As the owners warn, the spot is small, so don't expect to pull a big SUV in. We had a new Camry, which I think is about the limit of what you can reasonably fit in there.] The house is listed as a 1 bedroom, but it has two living rooms in addition, each with a rollout bed, and with some amount of privacy available (one has a door that closes it from the other two sleeping areas, and the other has curtains). So you could easily sleep 6 at the house. Most of the house is very nicely updated and decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped: pots, pans, plates, bowls, silverware, cooking utensils, a great electric tea kettle, coffee maker, espresso machine, toaster oven, etc. The kitchen is a little oddly laid out, with the sink being somewhat far away from the range and refrigerator, and the kitchen is not as well updated as some of the house. But it is clean and has everything you need. One of the living areas had a very nice computer that came in handy for planning our days in San Francisco. There's also a nice, large TV with a DVD & BluRay player. There were also many books in the bookshelves around the house, with a little something for everyone. The shared patio is very nicely kept and could be very relaxing. It does not have much in the way of grass for kids to play in, but it's a very pleasant space. Next time I have business in San Francisco, I'll try to book here again. We had a wonderful stay.
Owner response:We are glad to know you will book with us again - it is our best recommendation! Every year we do a big renovation project to keep the house up to date (new double-hung double-pane windows throughout, new crown molding and paint, etc.). Until we re-do the kitchen we make sure we provide all the major appliances and most smaller ones also to make sure you have all you need for cooking at home. Enjoy!

Review Submitted: 04/18/11
We are seasoned visitors to SF, though this was only our second stay in an apartment. We thoroughly recommend this clean, immaculately presented and well equipped house in a safe, friendly and accessible neighbourhood. The owner was very helpful and attentive, both in answering our questions beforehand, and during our stay, dealing promptly with a minor problem we had early on. It was a godsend to be able to park our car in our own garage rather than spend hours driving around looking for a space on the street. Public transport is plentiful too with several bus routes running to and from downtown, and to Golden Gate Park and the Pacific Ocean in the opposite direction, within a handful of blocks. Union Square is only 20 minutes walk away, and the park and Haight Ashbury are even nearer on foot. One great service generously permitted by the owner was the ability to make international telephone calls at no charge from the house. This enabled us to ring our elderly parents back in the UK on a regular basis, which was reassuring. We made much use also of the “office” containing laptop computer and printer. Both internet and wireless connections worked flawlessly, as did the satellite TV system. Oh how we miss "Celebrity Apprentice" now we are back in the UK! The washing machine and drier, dishwasher, oven, toaster, coffee maker and microwave all functioned well too. We did washing almost every day! There was a ready supply of toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, as well as other basics. The only thing missing was a kettle - I’m sure that future British guests would welcome one to enable them to make a good cup of tea! We were blessed with beautiful weather for our entire stay, but if it had been bad, there was no shortage of reading matter (there are bookcases everywhere!), or music and films to while away the hours. We were delighted to discover that, far from being the humble corner store we had expected, the Lucky supermarket, just 100 yards away, was a large, fully stocked supermarket. It was so convenient, especially if we decided late that we would eat at “home”, we could then just “pop” there for whatever we wanted. The largest compliment we could pay is that we really felt “at home” here. We intended to “live like locals” rather than mere tourists, and the house helped us to achieve that. The fact that, despite our love of eating out in SF, we only did so on 5 of the 14 nights we were there, says it all.
Owner response:Thanks for your resounding recommendation! We are so glad you felt at 'home', which is the state of mind in which we like to find all our guests. Brits take note: We have replaced the missing kettle with a snappy new electric model. Since we live in our home part of each year, we are always making improvements. We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to San Francisco.

Perfect location for exploring the NOPA and Golden Gate Park areas. Really enjoyed the owner's recommendations for nearby restuarants and coffee houses. The Haight and all the attactions of Golden Gate Park are an easy walk away. Beautifully appointed home, clean, comfortable, and perfect for a stay in the city.

This is a top-tier apartment with stylish decor and engaging art. It's large: two sitting rooms, a large dining room and a well-equipped kitchen with high-quality appliances. Washer, dryer and dishwasher all worked fine. The owners have spent a great deal of effort to ensure that things are incredibly well organized with easy-to-follow directions for the supplied laptop computer and the automated 100-CD library AV system with extensive choices for jazz, classical and Round Midnight music. We had a fabulous week in SF (full discloser: it was sunny and 66 degrees all week while our East coast home suffered through a snow storm). Learn the bus system and you will find this NOPA apt is in a convenient central location: #5 takes you to the Ocean Beach for a glorious sunset in about 20 min.
Owner response:Thanks for your kind words! We try to make our home even better than expected and are glad to learn we did it again.

This beautiful spacious apartment had everything we needed; from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy and comfortable bedding, a gorgeous well-established yard, so lovely and quite a surprise in San Fran.; the location was convenient to bus transportation, grocery stores, restaurants; very clean and welcoming with wonderful eclectic artwork.

Review Submitted: 11/28/10
This apartment is a great place to stay and, in our case, a family central hangout for visiting relatives during a family reunion at Thanksgiving. We originally planned for three of us, parents and one 20 year old son to stay but when our daughters discovered the extra sofa bed, and the movie collection, not to mention the kitchen where we stocked the fridge, our family of five all stayed comfortably. The location is great- quiet and away from the bar buzz but near Golden Gate Park and on the central bus line. We also appreciate the parking space for a car which got us out to Marin etc. This is a home with books and art, beautiful garden and spaces, comfortable and great reasonable alternative to impersonal hotels. In the words of Governor S., "We'll be back."
Owner response:We are so glad you were able to use our home as we intended: As a great place for family and friends to hang out during their vacation. Trips can be stressful so its important for us to have a really comfortable place with lots of amenities - just like home! We look forward to your return.
