I stay in San Francisco twice a year for work, and this is by far the best property I've stayed in. Greg was a great host, met us in person to go over the property details, and has crafted a lovely place to stay in the city. I really appreciated all the little details that elevated this property above others. The view from the deck is amazing, and my only regret for the trip is that I couldn't spend more time up there.

Gregory’s apartment was spotlessly clean and exceptionally well-equipped. The roof terrace was a fantastic addition to watch the sunsets over the Golden Gate Bridge. Lovely little grocery shop nearby too. You definitely get the full SF experience as the cable car runs right outside the apartment - so much so that sometimes you feel as though you are on the street! Full SF vibes but maybe not the quietest stay if you have little children as the winding mechanism goes continually (apart from about 6 hrs at night). That being said we were extremely comfortable and very much enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic Frisco View

We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful San Francisco Nob Hill area with our amazing property manager, Gregory. The view we had at sunset every day was the best part of our trip, of course with Wine in hand. Any questions we had were immediately answered and great recommendations for us to see things in the city. Wonderful location!

AMAZING NOB HILL VRBO

We loved our stay at this VRBO. Greg was an amazing host and his place was very clean and comfortable. The location was convenient, easy to walk everywhere. Greg offered wonderful recommendations of the local area that were very helpful. We loved watching the sunset from the roof deck. I would highly recommend this VRBO!

We entered the property through a lovely foyer and were delighted by what we found when we entered the apartment. It was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with the electric fireplace welcoming us warmly after a late day arrival. Also waiting for us was a bottle of lovely Cabernet Sauvignon, a half gallon of orange juice, coffee, sweeteners, half and half, bagels, cream cheese and other essentials that we would not have had the energy to secure at that hour. It was so thoughtful and so appreciated. The apartment was a delight to stay in. It was equipped with a generous supply of cutlery, first class appliances, dishes, bowls, wine/spirits/juice glasses. The supply of paper goods was abundant-lots of paper napkins, a generous supply of tissues (with six spare boxes in a cabinet in the bathroom along with six spare rolls of toilet paper) a host of spices, along with a supply of olive oil and other cooking essentials. We were amazed at how thoroughly and thoughtfully the apartment was equipped. Greg was so wonderfully responsive to the various questions that we had during our stay and is an excellent communicator. That too was a pleasant surprise as that has not been our experience with owners of other units that we have rented in San Francisco. The apartment was a quiet and wonderful place to stay, and we are looking forward to our next stay there at the end of the year. We cannot recommend it highly enough! Mark and Jane

Overall, we had a great time at a great property. There were a couple of minor issues with the Wi-Fi, which stopped the televisions from working from time to time, but the disruptions were very short.

My new bride and I stayed here for one week in early November for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The unit was very, very nice and within walking distance of several markets and restaurants. Greg was an outstanding host and provided excellent information for area restaurants and recommendations for sightseeing for us being first time San Franciso visitors.

Best Place Ever!

We absolutely loved the apt. It was so fun to stay right in the heart of San Fran and be in walking distance to awesome local restaurants. We used the Trolley to get around when we could and just enjoyed the atmosphere. The view from the roof was awesome and the location was perfect for Touristy stuff along the Embarcadero and a work conference in the financial district. We will definitely rent again!
