Absolutely Stellar

Perfect in every way. Could not be a better location, great beds, everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. I could go on and on. Best hosts ever create a force field of wonderfulness and fun. But sorry, it’s booked; probably by me!

Exquisite!

The one word title describes everything about this property & the host, Kristen. The apartment is stunning, recently entirely renovated with no expense saved. More stunning than the description on VRBO. The accessories in the kitchen, bathrooms, and for outdoor activities are more than we could possibly have imagined. And Kristen's responses to questions are always lightning fast. The neighborhood is fabulous and extremely well situated -- 1/2 block to the Marina green, 5-minute walks to Chestnut Street and a large Safeway, and about a 30-minute walk to the Presidio. We were there for 6 weeks, and will return for 4 months in January. All in all, the best VRBO among our many stays abroad and in San Francisco. I considered writing a horrible review so that we could stay here whenever we choose, but that just wouldn't be right.

Everything Perfect!

We stayed for 4 months in this outstanding unit. It’s even nicer than the photos suggest. It has been totally rehabbed recently — the bedrooms are huge, the bathrooms large & pristine, and the light throughout is amazing. The kitchen has high-end appliances & is fully stocked. The location — a half block from the Marina Green & wide open views of the Golden Gate Bridge & Alcatraz — is perfect. In the other directions are a 5-minute flat walk to Chestnut Street, a Safeway, and about a 5-minute drive to the Presidio. The owner, Kristen, responds by text within literally minutes to every question, request, or need. She is also an absolute pleasure & no inquiry is too small. In all, among many wonderful VRBO experiences in different areas of the world, our stay in this unit was the very best.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen

Host profile image
I'm a podcast producer living in San Francisco with my husband Dave and dog Fanny. I love the city and will happily share with you my go-to spots for fun, relaxation and culture.

Why they chose this property

I love the Marina District because it gives me both urban and nature in one place. It's a quaint, traditional SF neighborhood with shopping, theaters and restaurants right out the front door. But turn in the other direction, and you can walk, run or bike to the Marina Green, Crissy Field beaches, and the Presidio. I love birdwatching along the dunes and at the Palace of Fine Arts. And I love a good pizza at A16. And zipping around the windy streets on my Aqua Vespa makes it all the more fun. I really love this place!

What makes this property unique

The flat is upbeat, light-filled and spacious. But what makes it super special is it's location. It's walking distance to:
- the beach
- the Presidio
- the farmer's market
- the Green
- fabulous bars & restaurants
- Gia gelato on Union Street - they're open! Try the cherry chocolate!
- tennis and basketball courts
- The Palace of Fine Arts
- Fisherman's Wharf
- so much more!
