About the host
Hosted by Qiuyu Zhu

Hi! We are a couple who have been in SF for almost 10 years. We love the city and everything it has to offer and hope you do too!
Why they chose this property
We love Corona Heights for how serene and peaceful it is in the middle of the city. We are 10 minutes walking distance to three incredible neighborhoods (Castro, Cole Valley, Ashbury Heights), and many little walkways and hikes. We even love the hills for a free workout :)
What makes this property unique
It’s your own house with total privacy in the middle of the city!
