I am very proud that we have never had a negative comment,
And that we get lots of referrals from previous guests.

If you are here on business, there is an Express bus to downtown right outside my front door. If you are visiting as a tourist and wish to feel the real San Francisco, then my apartment is the logical place, do not get ripped off in the high priced tourist restaurants, eat where the locals eat, there are many Ethnic restaurants within a few blocks, have a beer at some of the best neighborhood bars in the city. If you really want to be a tourist, take a walk to the Cliff House for dinner.

I own the building, The apartment is located in a 2 unit building, the other apartment is occupied by a retired school teacher and his wife, they both take care of my apartment for me, so just knock on their door if you should need anything during your stay.

We now offer a great new service, especially for our international guests, If you wish to purchase items on-line (on-line is tax free, saves you 9%) we will sign and accept your deliveries and hold them for you until you arrive.

The neighborhood: Richmond/SeaCliff
The Richmond/Seacliff neighborhood has world-class recreation, You are within walking distance of 3 fantastic beaches, Ocean beach, China beach or Baker beach.

Golden Gate Park is only 5 blocks from the apartment. You also have a municipal golf course, Lincoln Park Golf , it is a short 6 blocks from the apartment.
The Richmond retains a neighborhood feel along its main shopping streets.
You can find Mexican, Russian, French and Italian restaurants with ease, not to mention a plethora of establishments serving food from every corner of Asia. "Like the Outer Richmond itself, Geary calms down considerably after 25th Avenue as it meanders off into the fog and ultimately ends at the Pacific Ocean."

Sea Cliff is dominated by Spanish architecture homes perched on the cliffs east of Golden Gate Bridge. Certainly one of the most desirable and picturesque residential areas in the U.S. Success exudes itself from any of houses, stars and theatrical types such as Robin Williams, Sharon Stone, and Carol Hayes of Hayes Productions all have homes here. The Presidio Trust sits to its east with remains of the Land's End Park and the famous Sutro Baths of 1896 to the west. The California Palace of the Legion of Honor museum built in 1924 ( inspired by the Palais de la Legion in Paris), home of Rodin's "The Thinker", and the public golf course of Lincoln Park all share the Sea Cliff address!"

Lincoln Park: Most people know Lincoln Park for two things: The Palace of the Legion of Honor and the golf course. Fewer know about the park's easy access to Land's End and a portion of the Coastal Trail that runs about six miles along the bluff above the sea, from Baker Beach to Ocean Beach. Walkers along this path will be treated with incredible views.

Golden Gate Park:
The California Academy of Sciences just reopened,
Its fantastic, you have to go, 930am to 5pm, the admission price is kind of high, $24.95 and $14.95 for kids, But its worth it, Also its free admission the third wednesday of each month.

You simply must rent a boat in Stow Lake or explore the park by bike. Stow Lake Bike & Boat Rentals, 50 Stow Lake Dr.
M.H. de Young Museum:

You have all this right outside your front door and are only 15 minutes to downtown Union Square.

Muni Bus system:
If you intend to ride the cable cars, then it is cheaper to buy a bus pass, the fare on the 38 bus downtown is $2.00 and the cable cars are $5 so its better value to get a bus pass. The passes are for consecutive days.

Passports may be purchased on the Muni website or at the Airport, SFO Information Booth (Baggage Claim area)

For more information on Muni Passports, call Muni's Revenue Department.
• 1-day Passport $11
• 3-day Passport $18
• 7-day Passport $24

The cheapest way to get to the apartment from SFO is a door to door Super Shuttle, it costs $17 per person one way, if there are 3 or more people then a Taxi is cheaper, about $40. You do not really need a rental car, except if you wish to see the Wine Country, I would suggest that you rent a car the last 2 days of your vacation, there is a Hertz location a few blocks away, pick the car up at the local Hertz and drop it back to the Airport, that way you save on a shuttle to the airport.

PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR AVAILABLE DATES, I ANSWER ALL EMAILS THE SAME DAY.

***EXTRA, EXTRA, EXTRA, I now have a second location, A one bedroom apartment in Twin Peaks, with parking and laundry, sleeps up to 5.
Also if you wish to visit The Wine Country, I have a really nice 3 bedroom vacation Cottage in Sonoma, only 90 minute drive from San Francisco, Please inquire about our 7 night packages, 3 or 4 nights in the city and 3 or 4 nights in The Wine Country, *****************************************

  • Hallo, auch ich kann das Appartement nur empfehlen. Es liegt super günstig, man ist schnell in der City aber auch schnell in der Natur und wer diese liebt, um Sport zu treiben, zu joggen oder auch nur zum Spaziergang am Beach, der ist hier richtig. Alles ist vorhanden im Appartement und man fühlt sich wie zu Hause, wenn einem nach einem langen Tag in SF die Füsse weh tun. Danke , Paul Also, I agree with everybody. The appartement is perfect and it's really a nice place for living in the city. If you like jogging, if you like the nature- so you are rigth but even the way in the city with the muni 38 makes it so easy to do shopping and visiting a great city. Also, you have all the possibilities do live like a local and make you every day shopping around - it isn't a problem. Thanks, Paul L'appartement est vraiement super. On peut y vivre comme les locaux. L'apartement est trés bien équipé. Il y a beaucoup de supermarket et le muni 38 va au centre souvent par jour, presque chaque 5 minutes. Si on aime la nature, faire du jogging, le golf - l'appartement est perfect. 20 min jogging est on voir le Golden Gate et on a une belle vue. C'est magnifique! Merci, Paul

  • I stayed at the Geary apartment with three friends from September 30 - October 7, 2009. We found the apartment to be so charming and comfortable!! The location couldn't have been more perfect for us! Great markets and restaurants so close - and Trad'r Sam's immediately became a 'staple' for each day we were there! We were in SF for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park - so a five block walk to the park was also very convenient. We had no problems with transportation in SF - what a great city! Vladimir was so charming and full of information - nice to have friendly neighbors!

  • We had a fantastic time staying at Geary Boulevard, it was a very safe and friendly location. Vladimir is a charming fellow and we loved the space of our own apartment in beautiful San Francisco.

  • Thank you for a wonderful stay. The location was excellent for all the city related activities I needed to attend to. Much better than fighting the throngs near Union Square, etc at a hotel. I liked having a place (a great place) to call my own. Even though I just live in Sonoma County, it was fun to play city resident for a week. Great restaurants a block away on Clement. If you have a car, parking wasn't even that bad. The computer set up was so helpful. I appreciated not having to bring my laptop for once. My 13 year-old nephew stayed one of the nights and brought his PS2 games - you have fan in him. Vladimir was as helpful as could be, and very sweet. He even would leave reminder notes for street cleaning. :) I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Paul!

  • After spending three relaxing days at Paul's cabin in (Wine Country) Guerneville, California I couldn't wait to see what was waiting for me in San Francisco. The first thing that caught my attention was the GREAT location! I always wanted to live in the city where everything was within walking distant. We loved walking down the street to go to church, eating at the local restaurants or just going downstairs to the grocery store and buying a few items for the apartment. We also took advantage of the local transportation (38 L Geary bus, Cable Car, etc.) and went to NOB Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, etc. The travel information package that Paul provides to you prior to your visit (and he also has a copy on the premise) is like having a travel agent at your finger tips! The apartment was wonderful and had everything!I especially loved the Internet access. I can't wait to contact you again to plan my follow up trip next year! The weather in San Francisco makes you feel like you are in the Caribbean, I miss it already!

  • We had two fantastic stays at the apartment. We used buses to get everywhere (Haight, Downtown, Presido, Exploratorium etc)and even with Alex's pushchair it was easy and really cheap! It was great to come back to the apartment each evening. It had everything we needed and we loved relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening as Alex slept in the bedroom. Very sad to leave, would recommend it to anyone.

  • We stayed for one week at Paul's apartment and were thrilled with the experience. The 4 of us slept comfortably and we made great use of the location. Played some golf at the Lincoln park club which is 3 minutes away, went jogging by the beach, and we took the bus and drove downtown when necessary. Best of all, we ate the best dim sum and sushi at nearby restaurants. Overall, it's a great place; simple, clean and well located.

  • Great location. No car needed here. The local bus (38 Geary) takes you to all the downtown activity within 20 minutes, and seems to run every 2 minutes. The apartment is surrounded by about 100 dining establishments of all ethnicities. The owner, Paul, is a genial host.

  • Stupendous Holiday. We booked a package with this apartment and the cabin in the wine country. This was our first time to visit the US, so we decided to follow all Paul’s tips in his information brochure. We took a taxi from the airport to the apartment, and planned to pick up a hertz car on the day we were to go to the wine country. The first night we had dinner in the Pacific Café, The second night we went to Chapeau and our third night we had dinner in Khan Toke Thai House. Each Restaurant was fabulous. We also had a few drinks in Trader Sam’s, what a hilarious bar! We also had breakfast in the little café 2 doors away, cheap and really good. Did all the touristy things, the 38 bus comes every few minutes and has you downtown really fast, Tip: get off on Powell Street, then take the cable car to Fisherman’s wharf. The apartment was wonderful; it felt like you were staying in a friends place, The drive to Sonoma was great, especially driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, Of course we stopped took tons of photos of the bridge. WOW! The cabin is so romantic & quaint. We didn’t want to leave it. We went to the local supermarket and bought a bottle of wine and snacks, We snuggled up beside the fire and watched TV. We got up early the next morning and drove to Bodega Bay, wonderful views and walks. Had a great dinner in Bodega Bay, then back home to the cozy cabin. On our third day, we visited some of the local wineries. The town of Guerneville is full of local shops and restaurants, Had breakfast in Pat’s place twice, really good. Our last night we had dinner in Mosaic in Forestville, you have to go there, it was one of the best meals we ever had. Follow the tips in Paul’s brochure, we did and every bit of advice was spot on.

  • Paul's apartment is a wonderful place to stay. It was great to have a "home" to come back to after long, tiring days. We enjoyed many of the local ethnic restaurants close-by, and fully utilized San Francisco's public transportation system. A great vacation!
