Spectacular Bay and City Views

Live in The Garden of Eden in an Urban Environment.

Fabulous north and east bay views, sunny, modern Furnished 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath private 2nd floor located in a landmark 2 unit, 3 story building 4 blocks from SF Bay on the north slope of Russian Hill. The private VRBO space is 1000 square feet. It has a large panoramic view living room, full view dining room, 2 bedrooms with queen and 2 twin pillow top beds, remodeled bathroom with jacuzzi bath, ultra modern remodeled kitchen. Double Pane soundproof windows. Cable TV, DVD,WiFi available. Large outdoor north facing Alcatraz view deck (25ft x 8 ft). Access to large back yard and beautiful garden.

Note: This private VRBO space is part of the owners living space when not used as a VRBO short term rental space.

1 indoor garage car parking available for additional charge.

Weather permitting, a flock of the 'Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill' stops by at 3pm every day.

Additional Disclosures:
The view is great because of the 45 steps you will need to climb from the street. There is also a step up jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Also there are a couple of cats, raccoons, skunks, and parrots that make the rounds outside the property, just in case you have severe allergies to animals. No pets/animals have been allowed in the rental unit, so it has always been pet/animal free. However if you have severe allergies to cats, you SHOULD NOT stay here!

The unit is cleaned on a basic cleaning (not Clean Freak) standard before arrival of guests. If you are a "Clean Freak white glove inspection” type who likes to look for flaws in the unit and not disclose them to me within 24 hours of arrival so I can correct any issues, and rather disclose such issues 1 week later to satisfy your desire to be an “internet critic” or try to extract a subsequent discount on the daily rate, then please DO NOT stay here.

Perfect and authentic SF stay near Ghirardelli
This unit was perfect for our family of 5. The location and views were outstanding. One teen slept comfortably on couch. Easy walk to cable cars, Ghirardelli, and bike rental. We will be back. Bike across Golden Gate is a must. If you read some reviews, there are some quirks. None were issues for us. If you are looking for Marriott level decor and empty surfaces, look elsewhere. I’m still laughing at owner’s response to food in freezer. The view, location, and garage parking space at this price exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic location, great view
We had a great time in SF. The unit is comfortable, meeting and exceeding all expectations. The view of Alcatraz and the Bay is outstanding. The proximity to attractions like Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, both north end cable cars stops, the main Big Bus stop all can't be beat. The Telegraph Hill parrots stopping by add even more character to the property. Do pay careful attention to the property description. It is on the third level (including the garage) so you'll be climbing some steps. The owner is very careful to keep the rental unit cat free, but, as he clearly states, there are cats on the property including in the shared entry way to an upper apartment, so anyone very sensitive to cats should bear that in mind. The property bedrooms face a pretty busy street so be prepared for that as well. We recommend definitely taking advantage of the off-street garage parking spot. For a small extra charge you get the peace of mind of having your vehicle out of harms way. Getting in and out of the garage is a bit of a challenge so be sure to get & follow the owner's instructions to do so safely.

Perfect weekend
Before we arrived, we had helpful communication from our host. He was overly accommodating in terms of our arrival and departure. He was attentive during our stay to make sure everything was to our liking. He was personable and entertaining. Our host gave us pointers about the surrounding area and helped with transportation questions. The apartment was spacious yet cozy. We had everything we needed to make it our home away from home. The views were outstanding and the overall experience is one that I didn't want to end. We will be back.

What a view!
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay in this property. Rob is a gracious host and was readily available for any questions or issues we might have had. Beds were comfortable, towels plentiful and kitchen was well equipped for any cooking we might need to do. The only problem with the condo is that you are going to want to spend more time on the patio enjoying the amazing views and watching the parrots and might miss some of the other fun things to do in the city that are so conveniently located to this property.

Wonderful place!
This place is amazing! We had great views in a great location. And we saw the parrots! It had everything you need within walking distance. We were able to walk to grocery shop to save money on eating out. Otherwise, we ate seafood around Fisherman’s Wharf which was a 5 minute walk. My Dad has a *minor* cat allergy and didn’t have a problem staying here. We were able to park our rental car but we only used it once to go to Muir Woods. I’ll deal with steps for a fantastic view any day! We loved it and I would definitely stay here again!

Stunning view of the bay
Great location with amazing view of the bay. We sat on the balcony every night taking in the bay breeze and the scenery. I was amazed at how quiet it was and how we could hear the seals barking all the way over at the pier. Beds were comfortable and the owners were attentive. Tourist spots close by and walkable.
