It is about an hour drive from SF, which I didn't totally realize. Being from out of town, it looks closer on a map. But the view in incredible, and the actual town area at the base of the hill is really cute. Excellent stay, thank you!

This cozy, comfy place has a stunning view of a working portion of SF Bay that tourists rarely get a chance to enjoy. Not far away, a portion of the SF Bay Trail is an enjoyable, interesting walk inside Miller/Knox Park. The host is attentive and helpful. I will be staying here again,

Beautiful getaway in a convenient location

The property is adorable and has fantastic views. Equipped with essentials to cook a meal and nicely decorated. The breeze through the windows is wonderful. It's a quick drive to San Francisco or to the ferry to city. The property manager was very accessible and responded quickly. The check in instructions were thorough and easy.

Great place with truly fantastic views of the bay. Cozy vibes. It is an older building so be prepared for that.There was a minor issue with the roof while we were there that was handled promptly and without us needing to request it.A few minor things around the edges that could have been better: Building front door sticks, several pots without lids, etc. Microwave and fridge are in a separate storage room just off the kitchen.

5-Star View of Golden Gate and Marin County Bridge.

This is a funky cool top-floor vaulted studio apartment boasting a 5-Star view of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Marin County Bridge. It's private, and the neighbors are really nice. Easy in and key box out. Museums include the WWII Rosie the Riveter Museum and a model train museum. There's a hidden gem winery located at the Red Oak Victory Ship Museum. There's a ferry between Richmond and San Francisco. If our paths lead back, we will stay here again.

Unglaubliche Aussicht auf die Bucht

Die Aussicht ist wirklich klasse, man sieht die Golden Gate Bridge zum Teil, die Richmond Bridge und die Öltanker von Chevron. Die Wohnung selbst ist in einem kleinen, älteren Haus, ganz oben. D.h. Sie müssen auf enge Treppen gefasst sein. Oben haben sie den Hauptraum (mit der tollen Aussicht), dem Bett, TV und kleinem zwei Leute Essplatz und ne zweier Couch. Das Bett dürfte 1,60m breit sein und die Matratze sollte spätestens nach dieser Saison gewechselt werden, man liegt schon ziemlich durch. Das Bad ist klein und die Dusche recht eng. Der Wasserdruck ist auch recht schwach-man ist schon echt weit oben. Die Küche hat einen Gasherd mit Ofen. In den Ofen haben wir reingeguckt und entschieden nix drin zu machen. Die Küche hat durchaus alles was man braucht, ist alles ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Funktioniert aber alles, Kühl-Gefrierschrank ist ziemlich groß. Alles in Allem ein nettes Plätzchen für ein paar entspannte Tage. Und hats gefallen.

Great view to wake up to and the space was utilized nicely for a small bungalow. Loved the kitchen and felt safe/comfortable. Small markets nearby also made it easy to pick up things for breakfast.

Fantastic stay

This place grew on us each day we stayed. We had a bigger vehicle, so the parking was a little challenging, but once we figured it out, we were fine. We loved that we could walk to a few tasty restaurants and down the hill, as well a grocery store. The building was quiet, and it was so enjoyable to wake up and drink coffee on the sofa with the view of the bay. The attic was warm at night, but opening the window facing the bay cooled it off quickly with the breeze. The studio was sweet and simple and we slept well there. Also loved that we could easily drive to the Richmond BART station and get into San Francisco. Grateful for the lovely stay!

Great place to stay!

My friend and I had an amazing time at this VRBO location! The place was located in an area with easy access to the Port Richmond area, the bridges, and all that San Francisco has to offer. The views from our room were breathtaking. Some activities we did were a wine tour through the Sonoma wine country, hiking on the Tennessee Valley Trail, some sight seeing in San Francisco, and exploring Keller Beach which was right down the road from the house. The hosts, Larry & Lucas, were very detailed in their communication and accommodating in providing a nice stay. The house was very clean, quaint and just as advertised. Would highly recommend staying here!
