Photos and Description of the San Francisco vacation townhome rental
2 bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen) , 1 bath, sleeps 6 (incl. 2 on living room sofabed)

This beautiful two bedroom flat is the perfect place to use as homebase for your San Francisco getaway. Mid-century and Danish modern furniture complements this 1940 flat. The living room features a fireplace, sectional sofa (which doubles as a sofa bed), 46 inch HDTV flatscreen cable TV & BluRay player, sitting area, and enormous view window looking out on the Sutro tower atop Twin Peaks. The dining room is the perfect place to sit down and recount the day's adventures over a meal prepared in the newly remodeled gourmet kitchen, cooked on the backyard grill, or delivered from any of the fine restaurants nearby. The ample bedrooms are each furnished with 32 inch flat screen HDTV televisions, as well as iPod docking clock radios. The house also features a rotating selection of local art & San Francisco themed displays.

The Home: Your home away from home in one of the most beautiful cities in the world includes a formal living room and formal dining room with seating for 6, newly-remodeled kitchen, two big light-filled bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen), and 1 bathroom with a tub and separate shower stall. The approx. 1375 sq. ft. architectural gem is in a two unit 1940’s style building, and features hardwood flooring, original art deco design details, and vintage furnishings. The bedrooms are located in the rear of the flat, overlooking the garden with a view of one of San Francisco’s oddball treasures, the Columbarium. The living room sofa also converts to a queen-size sleeper, if you are in need of extra space. There are public tennis courts and a swimming pool at the park across the street.

Golden Gate Park: The flat has a spectacular location: a 3 block walk leads to Golden Gate Park, including such sights as: the Conservatory of Flowers, Academy of Sciences, M.H. de Young Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, and the Arboretum (Botanical Garden); as well as such activities as: a children-only playground, archery, biking and skating, golf, horseback riding, lawn bowling, tennis, fly-fishing, and plenty of spots for a wonderful picnic. The park is larger than New York's Central Park, and is covered with more than one million trees and contains its own herd of bison.

Transportation: No car is needed with this centrally located flat (it has a WalkScore of 94!). If you tire of walking, taxicabs are plentiful, and San Francisco’s public transportation system is easy and intuitive. Having a bus stop one block away from the flat makes travel to Ocean Beach, shopping downtown at boutiques or the mall, the Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf, etc. a snap. If you're coming for business or a convention, Express Bus service to Downtown operates morning & evening from one block away!

Finally, if you do bring a car there is abundant street parking, including some sections where you may leave a car parked for a full week without a permit. If you will be staying for an extended period, a temporary permit can be obtained – just ask!

A great place to stay in San Francisco

We arrived at the flat on 5/25/13, tired from our flights. We were immediately impressed with the spacious interior. It is tastefully decorated and very quiet. The refrigerator was stocked with snacks and drinks, a very nice touch. The location is great, within blocks of Golden Gate Park and some nice little cafes and restaurants. It didn't take us long to figure out the bus lines that we picked up one block from the flat. The owner, Chris, came down to meet us and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a rental car that came in handy when visiting Napa, Muir woods, Big Sur; but most of the time we left it parked across the street or down the block and took public transportation. This is a very nice alternative to staying in a hotel, as it has the feeling of being "in the community". We never felt unsafe walking around the area. The accommodations are spacious and clean with a nice park across the street. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it without reservation.

Comfortable, smart and relaxing

We stayed in SF to break up a journey from NZ to the UK. This appartment was ideal for us, plenty of space, well-located and beautifully furnshed. Unlike many other rentals, it was properly clean and had been furnished up to a standard (inc. many original architectural features) and not down to a price. The description in the listing is accurate.

Very handy for the bus into downtown, and close to the amenities of Geary Bld. The nearby Arguello Food market was ideal for supplies and apparently one of the best turkey sandwiches in the city!

Just a shame that our stay was so short.

A Superb Flat!

I couldn't have picked a better rental! A superb flat! The flat is gorgeous! The linens (bedding and bathroom) are extremely comfy, the kitchen is a dream for any cook, the entire flat is well stocked with everything one would need plus extras, the decor is very classy, and the location is perfect. We took public transportation everywhere and at all times of the day and night and the flat is very close to bus stops to take you anywhere you need to go. Christopher was very friendly when he greeted us and he was so helpful with my various questions about prices for a taxi and locations of places. Also, we were originally going to stay in a hotel for four nights, but I found Christopher's flat and it was a little cheaper to stay an entire week at his flat! I wouldn't recommend any other flat to anyone visiting San Francisco and when I return to visit, I plan to rent this flat again.

This place was exactly as it represented itself and even better. New appliances in the big kitchen, everything was very clean and well-appointed. Loved the complementary beverages & snacks. The location was perfect and the place was easy enough to manage with a 13-month-old. Easy check-in, very relaxed feel to the whole place. If you stay here, plan to eat on Clement St sometime. The food is great!

Perfection

This property and its gracious owner provided us with the perfect San Francisco extended vacation. The apartment is spacious and tastefully decorated, with a superb kitchen. There is a washer and dryer available for use on the first floor, and a small backyard with a firepit. The views from the front picture windows across Anza St. to Rossi Playground are lovely, and the playground itself is a delight for man and beast. Our dog made numerous friends, and we loved watching high school and little league baseball. We had a rental car, and parking was never a problem. There is ample public transportation to downtown and to the beach, and Golden Gate Park and the Presidio are within walking distance. The wonderful restaurants on Clement St. are also within walking distance. Chris, the owner, was always responsive to any question or need. Our security deposit was promptly returned at the conclusion of our stay. All in all, we cannot wait for our next trip to SF and hope we will be able to stay in the apartment again. Even the weather was terrific. Highest rating.

Stunning San Francisco

We had a wonderful stay in San Francisco at this lovely property. We arrived early and exhausted after a long flight and 2 hour trip from the airport because of traffic for Columbus Day. We were graciously welcomed and able to go straight in while the clean-up from the previous tenant was being done. Very generous snacks and drinks were provided along with top of the range equipment in the kitchen and very comfortable beds. The property was a beautiful example of "art deco" and the lovely lounge looked out over a park. There was a pervasive sense of calm and quiet and it was very relaxing. We chose this over a hotel because it was a cheaper option than 2 hotel rooms. We expected to be further out from the city and so it was a pleasant surprise to find it so convenient. All in all a lovely stay and very generous host - highly recommended. Thank you

Charming Flat in a Great Location

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in SF and this place made our trip. Though we didn't get to meet Chris (this time!) his friendly assistant Paul was there to great us, show us the apartment and point us in the direction of restaurants, the local grocery store, Golden Gate Park and where to catch the bus - all within walking distance. The place was well stocked with everything we needed, including a snack basket and cold drinks in the fridge. The place is very clean and nicely furnished. We loved the neighborhood and the small park across the street was great for our kids. We've rented several places with VRBO over the last couple years and this was by far the best. This place is a gem and we hope to be back!

We found this apartment a great place to stay especially with the young children. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the flat as a whole was well maintained and spacious.

The location is great with some great little restaurants round the corner.

Parking wasn't a problem thanks to Chris' great advice. He was very helpful even pointing us in the right direction to the local medical centre.

We would highly recommend this apartment.
