About this property
Relaxing Home with Sweeping Views, Chef's Kitchen and Hot Tub in Center of SF
Relaxing single-family home within walking distance to everything you could desire: michelin star restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, grocery stores, farmer's markets, parks, museums, and public transit. The mid-century modern designed home is spacious and full of natural light, has a gourmet kitchen and a landscaped backyard that welcomes indoor/outdoor living.
This centrally-located urban oasis is a luxurious retreat after a full day of exploration and/or business meetings in the city.
This spacious, high-ceiling, remodeled home is in the heart of the city. The main floor includes the bedroom (queen bed) and bathroom, a living and dining room, as well as a chef's kitchen with access to the backyard. Upstairs includes a living room with a panoramic view, many books and a large flat-screen TV for evenings when you prefer to stay home.
The bedroom has a queen bed, a tempurpedic mattress, Coyuchi organic cotton sheets, many down and termpurpedic pillows, and a down comforter. The bathroom has excellent water pressure and volume in the shower and tub, and soft Coyuchi organic cotton towels in which to wrap your body.
The fully stocked gourmet kitchen has a chef range, espresso machine, and a dishwasher.
In the backyard, surrounded in jasmine and with a view of the city and bay, is an outdoor shower with warm water flowing from a large rain shower-head.
Please note, for security purposes (for your safety and the protection of the home), there is a camera in the entry that captures motion inside and outside of the front door. Privacy is valued and respected.

About the host
Hosted by Rachel Taylor
Like you, my husband (Jess) and I (Rachel) enjoy traveling in cities and in natural environments, and creating time to connect with family, friends, and new people along the journey.
We believe that there are experiences in life that are too good to not be shared: a good meal, a sacred space, a home in which to relax. In that spirit, we open our unique homes and their offerings for you to enjoy.
When traveling, at times we find that our only interaction with locals are with the people whoses homes we are staying and at the restaurants we are eating. These ambassordors of place enhance the travel experience. With that in mind, we strive to be ambassadors for you of the places we know and love: San Francisco and the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Bay Area natives, we live in San Francisco and worked as environmental, public art, and tech professionals. We have been playing in SF urban parks and Point Reyes National Seashore since childhood. Jess is a potter (his studio is on the property in Inverness) and has created all of the pottery in our homes.
When we are not in California, we can be found studying and exploring ancient sites and cultures in Greece and Italy.
We love to learn from and share discoveries with others and look forward to sharing a place we love with you.

Why they chose this property
Located in Corona Heights, on a hill between the Castro and Cole Valley, the home and backyard offer scenic views.
Corona Heights is in the very heart of the city. Many of the city’s “must experience” neighborhoods and parks are within walking distance of the home, including the Castro, Mission District, Cole Valley, Haight-Ashbury, as well as Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, and Dolores Park.
There is so much going on every day and night of the week if you want within a few blocks from our home. And you return to a romantic home to relax and enjoy in sunny Corona Heights, with a private garden and views of the city and bay.
