Perfect Spot for Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Aside from all the great things to do in San Francisco, this house was destination enough. A comfortable and relaxing place in a quiet neighborhood for our family to stay while exploring the city. The kitchen and rest of the house well-appointed and the house layout works well for a family. Grocery stores and restaurants are within walking distance and easy access to the rest of the city via public transportation. We loved the close proximity to running and family hikes in the Presidio.

A True San Francisco House!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 27, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We live in the SF Bay Area but rented this house due to proximity to my sister's wedding ceremony and reception location. The house is beautiful and bigger than what's pictured. My bf was born and raised in SF and everything about the house was nostalgic from the moment you enter the front door. It has the original details but with the modern convenience. The interior is tastefully decorated and the house is impeccably clean.

The location was great - short drive to Union Square, close to the Presidio and the Cliff House. There are plenty of restaurants and cute brunch places in the neighborhood. Parking was not difficult at all. The owner was amazingly super nice - prompt communication, hospitable and easy to deal with.

Weddings are very stressful but our stay was very comfortable and added a special touch to my sister's wedding weekend. Thank you!!!

I never thought I could live in a busy city until I stayed here. This 3 story home is in the heart of San Francisco. It is set in a clean, safe and beautiful neighborhood just a block away from Presidio Park and golf course. You are 5 minutes away in any direction to all the main attractions that San Francisco has to offer. When you walk into this charming home you feel at ease with all the hustle and bustle of the city left at the door step. There is a nice quiet living room to sit and relax. This opens up to a beautiful dinning room and kitchen. From the dinning room and kitchen there are plenty of windows letting in natural light as you look out into a beautiful backyard. I didn't even know people had big backyard in the city. Upstairs there is a nice family room with a large television and three bedrooms, on the Third floor is the master bedroom. This is lovely place and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know what San Fran is really like.

Presidio Heights Home

Beautiful Victorian house on a tree lined street in a friendly safe neighborhood. The house is very spacious, airy with lots of natural light and tastefully decorated. All four upstairs bedrooms are a decent size, new remodeled bathrooms look fab and the top of the house is a great open area but still feels very cozy. I really like the french door straight from the kitchen/dining area to the backyard/garden, perfect for summer BBQs and kids playing games. The old features like the stained glass in the door and windows are beautiful.

The house is very close to Presidio park, beach with the Golden Gate bridge, playgrounds, coffee shops, restaurants and everything SF has to offer.

I would recommend this home to a large family or two families traveling together or group of friends. I think it’s a brilliant idea to stay in a typical SF house to experience how the locals live rather than staying in a hotel. The owners are a lovely family and anyone staying in their home will most certainly enjoy the stay :)

The Perfect San Francisco Home

5 of 5
Submitted: May 15, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We spent a wonderful week in San Francisco with our extended family. The home provided something for each family member including well appointed light filled bedrooms, beautiful living and dining rooms to gather in, a wonderful open kitchen filled with cooking gadgets and a beautiful backyard with deck for kids to play. The location is exceptional because it is very safe, near a major bus route, fairly easy for street parking and walking distance to local shops, delicious restaurants, many playgrounds, The Presidio and Golden Gate Park! We loved exploring the nearby neighborhoods during daily walks studded with amazing gourmet treats and coffee. If we were tired from a busy day of sightseeing, we relaxed at the house and either used the BBQ or had great Asian food delivered to the house.
The owners have lived in San Francisco for years and their notebook of recommendations was invaluable! We found the owners very responsible, organized and welcoming. THIS HOME WILL BE OUR FIRST CHOICE FOR OUR NEXT VISIT TO THE BAY AREA!
