Photos and Description of the San Francisco vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

**AMERICA'S CUP!!... Special pricing from July through September 2013.

Quintessential San Francisco Haven! Looking out to the bay through beautiful leaded-glass windows, you can see the cable car bustling up Hyde Street... the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill flying by... hear the sea lions barking at Fisherman’s Wharf... and on a foggy night, the deep sound of foghorns blowing.

Designer home located in the Heart of the city!  Less than 1 block to Hyde Street cable car as well as public transportation... 2 blocks to the famous, curvy Lombard Street... 3 blocks to Polk Street’s boutiques and restaurants on your way to Union Street and the hip Marina District... 5 blocks to historical Ghiradelli Square leading to Fisherman’s Wharf... and 6 blocks to North Beach, better known as ‘Little Italy’, and Chinatown.  All of which have an amazing variety of restaurants, wine bars and boutiques!

A fabulous 2-story, top-level flat with partial bay views from both the living room and private master suite, located on the 2nd floor.  The guest suite, on the 1st level, leads onto a private deck and gorgeous landscaped yard, which includes a gas bbq, lounge chair and table with (4-8) chairs.  There is a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen with gas stove, built-in microwave, dishwasher and granite bar counter that will seat (2) people. The dining area, located within the living room, seats up to (4) people comfortably.

Other amenities include Wi-Fi, DSL, 48” flat screen t.v. with surround sound, Direct TV in Living & Master rooms as well as HBO, piano, local telephone only and washer/dryer in the unit. Guidebooks, maps, menus from favorite restaurants, games and a variety of novels for your enjoyment will also be provided during your stay.

Please keep in mind: Parking is not included, but is rarely needed in this area as it is centrally located within the city... public transportation, including buses and taxis, are right around the corner. Absolutely NO smoking is allowed anywhere on the property, including the backyard. I also do not allow large gatherings at the flat for any reason. Not ideal for babies, small children or anyone with physical ailments - there are 40 outdoor stairs coming up to the front door, and the place is not child-proof.

I have enjoyed immensely being in this beautiful setting for over 10 years. Due to career and lifestyle changes, I am in the city less and less. So I am thrilled to be able to share this unique haven which encompasses so many San Francisco traditions. You will truly feel like you are a part of this fabulous city!

Please email me with any questions and to Reserve your stay now!

Great location

This property is well-located and very convenient for visitors to all the usual tourist attractions such as Fisherman's Wharf, the city and museums, the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars and Coit Tower.

It is a characterful, pleasant and safe neighbourhood, with convenient shops around the corner. Just a block or two to restaurants. The cable car is at the end of the street and can be heard running frequently.

There's no parking which, in any event is not for the faint-hearted on these 30 degree-angled streets. However, we bought MUNI passes for our stay and got full value from them, as the excellent 45 bus route is just around the corner from the apartment and takes you into Union Square, from where we either walked or took other public transport to all the museums we wanted to see.

The property was as described and was clean and comfy. The two double bedrooms and the spacious living/dining room were excellent for our 5-day stay. However, it could do with de-cluttering. To our way of thinking, there were too many odds and ends left behind in the kitchen and fridge by others. The other places we stayed on this trip had empty fridges.

The owner was friendly and helpful, and present when we arrived to show us the layout of the property.

Perfect Stay in San Francisco!

Russian Hill is a beautiful area of San Francisco and this 2 bedroom/2 bath flat was perfection! It was exactly like the pictures...clean, well appointed and beautiful! There were 4 of us and it was nice to have a place to come back to and hang out instead of splitting off to 2 different hotel rooms. Although "hilly" we walked to Fisherman's Wharf and other landmark areas easily. We usually took a taxi back which was very reasonable. The flat was right off of Hyde which has the cable car running on it which is also very convenient. Heather was a great host and I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Heather!!

I've become wary of pictures but the flat was all or more than I expected. We loved gazing at the views of Coit Tower and the bay as we sat at the small table by the leaded glass windows in the living room and sipped our coffee. Russian Hill is a charming non touristy area with good restaurants within 1 to 6 blocks away. This flat is also one of the quietest places I have every stayed in San Francisco. Although it meant walking up hills we walked to most places and public transportation was within easy access. The flat had every amenity we needed and Heather was always just a phone call away to answer any questions. We would love to stay there again and would highly recommend it.

This is a great property to make the traveler feel at home. The location is ideal for walking with great amenitites nearby. The description and photos are accurate and the apartment was clean and included many "stock" items in the pantry. Explore the restaturants on Polk Street and shopping in Cow Hollow/Union Street. We purchased a bus pass at Cole Hardware on Polk Street and the No. 41 & 45 bus line on Union Street basically takes you anywhere you want to go in the city (and, of course, the Powell & Hyde cable car at the corner!) The owner was very accomodating and friendly, met us when we checked in, and answered our questions immediately. I would highly recommend this property.
