Private Single Family Victorian - Ultra Easy Central Location!

I want to start out by saying that it is hard to put in words how great of experience we had with this house. It was truly amazing.

My husband and I were fortunate to spend a week in this stunning house at the end of February 2013. To say that we were impressed with the property is definitely not enough. We were absolutely Wowed by it. It combined beautiful art, vintage, yet comfortable furniture and modern technology in a very thoughtful way.

The kitchen was equipped and supplied better than we could have ever expected. Yosemite coffee that the owners left for us to enjoy was delicious. It was a perfect start to each day. We stopped by Bi-Rite (local grocery store) several times and enjoyed tasty dinners in the comfort of our (vacation) home. It was a great ending to a day of exploring the city.

Location... It was perfect. There were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. From near-by restaurants we would recommend Magnolia’s (Micro-brewery/gastro-pub with awesome brunch menu on weekends) and Cha- Cha-Cha (tapas restaurant with great sangrias).

The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. Lynne answered all of our questions timely and clearly. The house had signs and directions that made it very easy to figure out how to use cooking utensils, turn on and off appliances, etc. We greatly appreciate how accommodating and attentive Lynne and Michael were to our questions and feedback.

Our stay in San Francisco was so enjoyable that we already cannot wait to be back. I am sure we will stay in this property again and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco.

We had the chance of staying for 2 weeks in september 2012 in this charming updated victorian home. Since we were travelling with friends (another couple), we very much enjoyed the 2 level living that gave us more intimacy. And, as the other reviews state, the photos don't even begin to translate the sole and heart of this house and it's garden. It is truly a artist retreat.

The location is perfect, calm and quiet but near everything. We could walk to restaurants, shops and nice markets or hop on a nearby bus to get to almost anywhere in S.F in a very short time...It was also easy to take the car and go out of the city.

The owners made us feel very warmly welcome and responded quickly to our e-mails. They even made a little map of the nearby shops and restaurant wich was very usefull.

In the Haight area, very close to bus lines that went everywhere we wanted. The listing photos and description couldn't convey how lovely this private home is. Back yard barbecue made two dinners easy and delicious. Steak one night and oysters on the grill the other. The kitchen couldn't have been more completely supplied. Our one mistake was shopping at a couple local markets before checking in. The owners even supplied a bag of coffee beans from Yosemite. One day we rented a car from the Enterprise rental company on Geary and drove to Healdsburg for some wine tasting. Went to Selby Winery Tasting Room and then further north to Coppola's. Selby is very distinctive and a must for tasting, we thought. Fun activities in the city were the Exploratorium with the Tactile Dome, a cruise to Alcatraz, the aquarium. Museum's that had special exhibits worth the extra fee: Legion of Honour, SFMOMA! De Younge. We got CityPass's for SF online, had it mailed for a little extra and could ride all the muni trains, buses and cable cars just by showing the pass. Included entrance to some museums (special exhibits extra sometimes), cruise or Alcatraz, aquarium. Check the web site details. SF is a walking city. Very fun and having the house on Waller to return made it extra special. Finding fresh foods, seafoods, fruits, breads and bringing them home for breakfasts and meals of your choosing, what an extra added delight. We found and Italian restaurant, Il Borgo a few blocks away on Laguna and it was delightful. Everyone found their favorites on the menu. Carpaccio, yum, if you like that. Homemade mango spamoni. Owners were so responsive to all our questions, even very reachable (I used email notes, nothing urgent); they really were inviting us to enjoy their home. They left us a list of nearly eateries. The Thai place Thep Phaom was great, a just a three block walk. We would, and already have, recommended this property to family and friends. A delightful treat.
