Please note that availability on the rental calendar may mean that only one of the flats is available. Since we are not able to set up 3 calendars we have only indicated when all 3 flats are taken.

My wife, five year old daughter, and I stayed in the First Floor French Garden Flat, and it was perfect for us! The flat was very charming and had everything we needed. It was also within walking distance to any thing, really, be it a quick shopping trip or getting to a bus line or cable car. We'd absolutely stay here again, that's for sure!

This property is one we"ll highly recommend to all of our family and friends. We felt completely at home and found it to be in an excellent area. Close to food markets, restaurants, shopping. The list goes on and on. We hope to return to this fabulous property some day soon.

We travel to the area often and could not resist the location of this property. Since the upstairs unit was not available for the duration of our stay, we opted for the middle flat since we were arriving by car and noticed that the rent included a garage. Everything was exactly as described; the bed was very comfortable, the flat was clean, the location was awesome, and the garage was a major convenience. The property is located near the top of Nob Hill and all three cable car routes are within two blocks of the house, putting the city (and the return home) within easy reach no matter what your age or fitness level. Staying at this property will make you feel more like a local than a tourist and it sure is nice to feel at home while on vacation!

This must be the best place to stay in San Francisco! We stayed one week and enjoyed it a lot! The apartment is so cosy and the kitchen is so well equipped. The Nob Hill area is very nice and you have walking distance to everything. And it is on the top of San Francisco. You don’t have to walk more than a block in any direction to see the ocean. Beautiful! There are also many good restaurants close by. Pleasant Street must be one of the calmest streets in the city. When you have been out in the noisy city the whole day it’s perfect to get back to the calm and cosy apartment. We were in the French Garden Flat and we enjoyed it a lot! That is so much better than staying in an anonymous hotel. It almost felt like if we were living in San Francisco. We even once went out jogging in the morning like the locals do. We enjoyed the mornings the most. There is a nice park just close to the apartment were people are walking their dogs. Grace Cathedral is also fantastic, just a block away. And the cable car on California is very close. If we come back to San Francisco we will definitely stay here again!

We rented the top floor flat for three weeks to escape the brutal Houston summer. San Francisco is a very special place for our family. My wife and I honeymooned in San Fran and returned for our 20th anniversary. My wife’s father celebrated V-J Day there. And the weather is so nice we just decided to go live there for a few weeks in the summer of 2011. We don’t do many of the usual tourist things anymore since we’ve visited so many times. We just settled in and made ourselves at home. The flat is so cozy and welcoming; we were immediately comfortable. I worked each day in the rooftop office/living area with a panoramic view of the Bay with Coit Tower jutting out in the middle. It was such a convenient and relaxing place for me to work. I just logged onto the internet like it was my office in Houston; only with a stunning view of San Francisco Bay. My wife and daughters would come up to sun bathe on the deck about the time I was finished each work day. The view from deck is really amazing; endless rooftops down to the Bay. You can see almost all of Fisherman’s Wharf to the Bay Bridge. If you know what you are looking for, you can see the spires of Joe DiMaggio’s church. On July 4, we grilled chicken and enjoyed the fireworks over the Bay. We walked to the 24 Hour Fitness Centers on Montgomery and Van Ness to get in our work outs. Each time, we saw something new to enjoy whether interesting architecture or an old café or neighborhood pub. The flat is perfectly located; church, shopping and dining were all a short walk away. If you’ve never attended Sunday service in the magnificent Grace Cathedral, you owe it to yourself to go and it’s just two blocks from the flat. Yoga on Tuesday As we do, we walked down to the Wharf a couple of times to enjoy some sidewalk seafood and Anchor Steam. Although it has some detractors, we like to have breakfast at Roxanne Café. The Nob Hill Café just across the street has tasty fare as well. We did Chinese at the infamous Sam Wo’s in Chinatown. It was a fun experience. But we were more impressed by Sun Kwong on Hyde Street, again just a short walk from the flat. Two huge meals, appetizers and two beers for under $30? Can’t find that anywhere in San Fran. Thai Spice on Polk Street was a very nice find as well. Good Thai food at a great price. Cala market on Hyde seems to the best value for groceries

I rented the bottom flat for a few nights and absolutely loved it. I live in the Bay Area but wanted just to "get away" for a few nights, and I really feel like I got away. The location was perfect to walk to just about all entertainment, the neighborhood was clean and charming, and I felt very comfortable and safe with my husband and kids. I hope to return soon. I'm definitely keeping this in my phone book. LOVED IT! Thank you and see you again in the Spring!

Love this location and amenities! Stayed in top level for 8 nights while visiting daughter down the street and it was a perfect location...we could also walk to the Giant's Parade!!!!, Chinatown, Union Square, Polk Street, Wharf and also hop on a cable car to get around town. The upstairs deck was an added bonus..coffee in the morning enjoying the early view and then the view at night is like no other. Thank you to Jennifer for the outstanding communication and for Phil for tending to things in a most timely manner and making sure everything has been fine. We will miss Phil! Truly a home away from home and so well equipped. Everything we needed was here and the garage parking was an added bonus. We will be back :) Mahalo, S & G

We just returned from our honeymoon in San Francisco and spent a week in the third floor flat of this property. It is indeed a "jewel"! The flat was spacious, clean and well-maintained. The inclusion of garage space was a huge plus. More important, the flat was incredibly comfortable and did not have that "vacation home" feel that I have experienced in other rental properties. Jennifer was very easy to work with and always responsive to my questions. Don't miss the Cable Car Museum on Mason St~it's free and a very interesting piece of San Francisco history. We definitely look forward to staying at this property again when we visit San Francisco in the future.

My wife and I love to stay in a local neighborhood when visiting a large city. Hotels are cold and usually uninviting and noisy. So we look for a location where we can enjoy what the locals enjoy. This property is the epitomy of what we look for. We stayed in the top flat for three nights and it instantly became home. From meeting neighbors to getting friendly directions to groceries and restaurants everyone was great. The flat was better than advertised. Roomy and homey and it was great to have a kitchen where the tenants use some condiments and leave some condiments. We even had Margaritas and wine in the refrigerator upon arriving. Jennifer does a great job getting things organized for your arrival (even when she is in Buenos Aries.) All in all a great stay. Hope to get back some day.
