Rob was the most helpful and kind host and his apartment was not just beautiful but (to me) a historical treasure. The place was built in the 1900's and has been in his family since the '70's. Renovations have been done with care so that it is modern yet retains so much authentic charm and comfort. The location in Inner Richmond, literally steps away from the truly spectacular Golden Gate Park with all its open air music, museums and gardens, was amazing. We also loved being part of a real neighborhood with shops, highly rated restaurants, farmer's market, bakeries, and friendly people. Anything we wanted to do further afield we called an Uber. This place is very often booked and is also used by Rob and his family, so it's rarely available. We feel so lucky to have stayed here.

Wonderful holiday stay at Duck's Nest

We had a wonderful stay at the Duck's Nest for Christmas and New Year's. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays when we arrived. It was very well provisioned with everything we needed. Just one block from Golden Gate Park and plenty of room in the garage for our car. It was the perfect place for us. Thank you Rob and Lisa!

Fabulous stay

I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Rob’s home. The house is very comfortable from the beds to the recliner chair. The house is fully stocked with anything you could need for a long stay. The location is perfect, one block from Golden Gate Park, 2 blocks from Safeway and close to many restaurants. Rob is friendly and helpful. I extended my stay twice. I look forward to returning.

Golden Gate Park Gem

Our stay in San Francisco at the Duck's Nest exceeded our expectations. We loved being so close to Golden Gate Park and riding our bikes all around the city. The home is clean and comfortable with plush towels and comfy bedding. The entire house is well stocked and one does not need to bring anything extra as all is provided for. The house itself has a neat history and the neighbors along the street were nice to meet. We stayed over five weeks and we were very sad to leave. Best of all is the owner Rob, who is a delight and a wealth of San Francisco knowledge. We hope to return again soon!

Duck’s Nest Could not possibly been better!

Our stay seriously couldn’t have been better. Robert was the most excellent gentleman to deal with. The ducks nest was an epic place and it provided everything we could’ve possibly asked for. It was impeccably maintained, spacious and he provided all the amenities in a fashion way beyond what we needed. Robert was very communicative with us as well and the stay we had for seven weeks was something I’ll ever forget. The process and booking was also seamless. I would highly recommend this VRBO from Robert and his place in San Francisco, which was in a tremendous location and easily accessible to everything we wanted to enjoy in San Francisco. Kudos to Robert in a big way!!! Thank you.

Fantastic stay one block north of Golden Gate Park

My wife and I just spent one month at the property and we absolutely loved it. When we arrived, the place was spotless, well-stocked with anything and everything one might need, the bed linens and towels were all in pristine condition, and the beds were very comfortable. As an extra bonus, the house was overflowing with a fantastic selection of books and the furniture in the living room was both cozy and comfortable.The location was, as we expected it to be, fantastic. We could walk to such Golden Gate Park destinations as the DeYoung Museum and the Academy of Sciences in five minutes, and to Blue Heron Lake in less than ten minutes. We could also walk to a neighborhood Safeway in about three minutes. And we could get anywhere we wanted to in San Francisco with ease.Rob was a fantastic host, communicative, caring, and kind. My wife and I greatly appreciated his assistance, and we would love to return to Rob's house should we have the chance to go back to San Francisco for an extended period of time.

Happy Travelers!

Based upon what we already knew from reading about the Duck's Nest, our expectations were very high. Were our expectations met- yes; exceeded - ABSOLUTELY!!We knew within a few minutes that this was not any ordinary rental. Rob goes out of his way to be sure that his visitors are comfortable and that all their needs are met. He is a master at communicating all that you need to know about the house and the city and his passion for all things related to San Francisco is contagious. The bedding, linens, appliances - EVERYTHING about this home is top notch. The location is ideal regardless of your mode of transportation - on foot, public transportation, biking, personal vehicle. We had a car so having access to the garage was an added bonus. If you are looking for your home away from home, look no further. It's hard to imagine there is anything better out there!

This Place Has All Its "Ducks in a Row"!

The "Duck's Nest" was the perfect place to begin our San Francisco adventure. Communication with Rob before, during and after the rental was warm and easy - we felt like we were old friends before we even arrived. The rental is spacious, inviting, full of personality and stocked with everything you might want or need - there was even a bottle of champagne to greet us upon our arrival. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the decor is charming (loved having the warm glow of the Christmas tree in the window as we arrived - thank you!) The location is perfect - we decided not to rent a car until the day we left for Sonoma, and were never once disappointed with our decision. Golden Gate Park is just a few blocks away, as are wonderful neighborhood restaurants and a fabulous grocery store. Public transportation is a breeze. We heartily recommend getting a CityPASS if you are in town for a few days -it will make your lives so much easier! Go to the museums, hop the boat to Alcatraz, walk the bridge, ride the cable cars as many times as you can and then return to your cozy nest for a restful night before you begin the next day's adventures. We recommend The Duck's Nest without reservation and would gladly fly in here again and again!

I spent two glorious months at the Duck’s Nest and it was an awesome experience. As noted by many, Rob is an outstanding host! The home is amazing with charm and history that is what you want from a stay in San Francisco! The furnishings and original interior are accurately pictured and even more impressive in person. The proximity to Golden Gate Park makes it ideal to enjoy the fountains, historical statues, museums and music that is found there. It’s also ideal if you have brought a pup who will love to walk the lush grounds and meet other fur babies!!I also found the accessibility of convenient bus routes a real plus! Easy to get all over the city and keep my car in the secure garage. Waymo and Uber also an easy option.I so look forward to an opportunity to return to this outstanding property!!

Wonderful Stay at Duck’s Nest

My stay at the Duck’s Nest couldn’t have been more seamless! Rob is a great host covering for your every need and then some. He’s fully stocked on items travelers often forget at home and is communicative to make sure your check-in process is as smooth as possible. Located right off Golden Gate Park and near the Presidio, this home has a taste of everything SF has to offer!

Very charming flat in a great location!

We stayed here for 7 months while our house was being remodeled (more than we expected). Overall, it was a great place to stay. There's plenty of room: 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, and pantry. Our favorite feature was all the natural light, given windows on all sides (unusual for a SF row house). We also appreciated the garage parking spot; street parking is in short supply. The location also is great. 1/2 block from GG Park, near the museums, bandstand, and Tea Garden; great walking, running, bike riding, skating, people watching, music in the park, holiday lights, etc. It's also within close walking distance to some great restaurants, a local coffee shop, and a Safeway grocery store. And you can get anywhere in the city in minutes by car or public transport. Also worthy of praise is Rob, the proprietor. He's just a great guy. Very communicative, pro-active, and knowledgeable about the area (an SF resident since the Summer of Love). Hope you enjoy your stay in the Duck's Nest as much as we did.

Feeling Like a Local

The Duck's Nest is a lovely place for a relaxed San Francisco stay in a quiet and charming neighbourhood. Lots of convenient stores and good restaurants within walking distance (more on that later). Having a garage is great and owner Rob is most helpful in making sure all is well. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. I loved the wood deck out back, sitting on the steps with morning coffee or evening wine, watching the fog roll in or out. I have family nearby and this will be my place of choice to come back to - I already look forward to my next stay!

Ducks Nest was the best!!!

Rob and Diana have the perfect home to explore and enjoy all that San Francisco has to offer. Location was ideal. Right next to GG Park and many many great restaurants. The garage made life great for parking and stowing our bikes. Rob was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Everything we needed was supplied and made for easy living. Thanks Rob for helping to make our month in San Francisco a perfect stay.

Wonderful and memorable stay that exceeded our expectations

We are frequent visitors in SF and love the city and especially the Golden Gate park. We stayed at the Duck's Nest for almost 4 months (a family of 4, including 2 kids, plus a nanny and a dog). Overall, I don't think there is a better place in the market in terms of location, amenities, owner availability and hospitality and price. The place is not super fancy and super modern, but this is not what predetermined the best memories for us during our stay. The apartment has literally everything you need to enjoy the stay, including washing and drying machines and a garage where we left both our car and a stroller, etc. The location is just superb: within 1 block from the GG park and nearby playgrounds for kids, museums, botanical gardens, etc. and many nice cafes and restaurants in a walking distance, plus a large Safeway grocery just 2 blocks away. The neighborhood is quiet, as well as the neighbors. The owners have been extremely nice and accommodating to all our requests and are just great people that we enjoying talking to and already miss them - this was a great bonus that you do not normally expect. A perfect fit for a mid-term family stay in a wonderful city.

Awesome Location with Great Owners

The location is amazing, especially if you have children or want to explore the many museums and activities in Golden Gate Park. The rest of the city is a convenient drive, and city buses are just down the street for those without a car. The owners were extremely nice, helpful and quickly attended to any issues that came up during our stay. They even provided child gates, high chairs and kid dishes for our children, which was greatly appreciated! The neighborhood is peaceful too, and the private garage and in-unit laundry are really convenient. The place feels homey and has everything you need (office supplies, kitchen supplies, toiletries, etc). Would definitely recommend staying here!

lovely appartment for a wonderful stay in SF

We spent 4 weeks at the Duck nest for a wonderful and unforgettable stay in SF. We were four adult people (parents, two daughters). We fully confirm all the compliments of our predecessors and we had everything we needed for our quite prolonged stay. The appartment is cosy and functional, well located at the edge of the Golden park (5 mn walk to the main museum), the area is quiet and lovely, and we used the bus 5 at the street corner which was very convenient to reach all the sites of interest of the city. We could also appreciate the kindness and availibility of Rob for all his valuable advises, especially when our oldest daughter needed urgent dentist care (!). We highly recommend the Duck nest to everyone who would like to visit SF and the area. Special thank you also to our successors (former renters) approached by Rob, who have kindly accepted to move their booking in order to let us extend our stay in California.
