This will be a Real Home Base for your visit to San Francisco! Five room, beautifully furnished, very comfortable and exceptionally well appointed 1200 square foot flat in a two unit condominium with large shared garden. We are looking for conscientious, considerate non-smokers who care about, and for, their vacation homes. Beside staying in a home many people have reviewed as simply the best, you will be in a vibrant, safe neighborhood with a wonderful variety of cafes and restaurants within a ten-minute walk (yes, even Starbucks). For a GREAT San Francisco experience, stay in our home!

Curl up in the sofa and read your book or one of hundreds of ours. Listen to our music library of 100 CDs on the High End Component Stereo System. Watch Blu-Ray DVDs or HD TV with HD Digital Cable on the 42' Plasma TV. Check your email or search online on our 18' Laptop computer, or connect your own laptop via our secure in-house high speed Wi-Fi connection. Serve gourmet meals on the solid wood dining room table with hand carved French chairs. Relax in the garden at the wrought iron table or on the teak deck chairs. Rest peacefully on your queen size bed with quality linens and down comforter.

Enjoy beautiful oriental carpets in the Formal living and dining rooms with an impressive collection of fine art on every wall. Relax, cook and share the excitement of your San Francisco vacation in the big Kitchen open to the large, cozy Family Room facing the rear garden. Wall-to-wall carpets in living room, dining room and bedroom add an extra soft touch.

Quiet Bedroom. Restful queen-size bed. Quality linens with down comforter. Euro and standard pillows with bedside lamps for relaxing/reading in bed. Bedroom closet with chest of drawers with a second closet in dining room.

Comfortable queen-size sofa bed in the living room. Curtains, drapes and pocket doors add privacy. Sofa-bed also comes with Down Comforter, quality linens and pillows.

The well maintained shared garden in back of this two unit condominium features trees, ferns, jasmine, and many other beautiful seasonal flowers. Weber barbecue on the Brick Patio.

It is easy for you to enjoy your visit to exciting San Francisco: Walk one block to a full supermarket, five minutes to Golden Gate Park Panhandle, ten to Alamo Square Park with its famous Painted Lady Victorians. Just a fifteen-minute walk to exciting Haight-Ashbury or to Buena Vista Park with its trails, tennis courts and panoramas of the bay, or thirty to the Castro or the Conservatory in Golden Gate Park.

Minutes by car from your own secure garage to Downtown shopping, Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, the Haight, Upper Fillmore and the Castro. A garage in San Francisco is a Must! Imagine not having to move your car every two hours to avoid tickets!

But why hassle with traffic and parking when public transport to everything is only a block away?

This is a vibrant, safe neighborhood with a great variety of cafes and restaurants within a ten-minute walk (yes, even Starbucks).

For a unique San Francisco experience, stay at our house and discover the pulse of the city or just chill out in a real home.

See you soon! David

About David

We are a retirement age couple who find ourselves away from San Francisco more often these days. Although we love our home and we love San Francisco, we also like to travel. Now we rent our home to guests like you while we are away. When we are home we are usually working to upgrade and refresh our house. We know you will enjoy the results!

David purchased this condo in 1997
Why David chose San Francisco

We have lived in the San Francisco area 40 years and purchased our SF home in 1997. In 2001 we began to spend time away and a friend suggested we try VRBO. We soon learned that people really enjoyed our home-like atmosphere. We are thrilled with the response we have gotten and work hard to keep our new and returning guests contented and feeling cared for. Visitors say they appreciate our knowledge of the city and our professional attitude.

What makes this condo unique

Most guests mention the feeling of a being in a real home on entering the house. We think this is because we still live there part-time and keep the house comfortable and well maintained not only for our guests but for ourselves as well. We are also proud of our garden, keeping it maintained even while we are away. We paint, scrape, clean, renew, update and replace parts of the house every time we come to visit. We think it shows. Our guests certainly enjoy our home. Read the reviews! Over 140 with 4 and 5 star ratings. We get these ratings not because everything is always perfect (we do try, however!) but because we go out of our way to help our guests settle in and feel at home and we respond quickly to any question. Finally, if you are bringing a car, you will absolutely love our little garage (for economy to mid-size cars). Parking rules in SF can make you dizzy. If you don't bring a car - great! - hop on the bus one block from the front door.

My family and I enjoyed our time in this attractive, comfortable and spacious apartment. We found it particularly well-equipped for all aspects of our stay in San Francisco. The owners have obviously put a great deal of thought into the details of what a tenant needs on a vacation.
Recommended for:  Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thanks! We put a lot of thought into the preparation of our home for your visit and are pleased to hear that you found it so well equipped. We care deeply about our customers' satisfaction and are proud to know that our efforts are noticed.

Lovely beautifully maintained house in a very convenient location; very friendly and helpful owner and agent - highly recommended.
It was a pleasure staying in your house, it is lovely - we enjoyed it a lot, especially the little touches like the very convenient computer, magazines and books, toiletries, too may things to mention really - it was just like being guest in someone's house which is so much nicer than being a hotel guest.

We felt very much at home in the flat. The neighborhood felt very safe, it was centrally located, and quiet. The flat itself had space to spread out, depending on the mood. I loved the way you could open a cabinet or drawer and just the item you needed was stored there for your use.

SAMPLE REVIEW: See Our Complete Guestbook at OWNERS WEB SITE LINK BELOW

'We were more than pleased with our home away from home in S.F. I hadn't been to S.F. in years and was delighted to find myself in a lovely quiet neighborhood close to the bus lines, Alamo Square, the Haight, and even a couple of very cool restaurants. Do not miss Nopa or the little Mexican place a couple of blocks away! The apartment was fantastic -- full of interesting art and books, lovely furnishings, and appointed with everything we needed. We were thrilled to enjoy the beautiful garden in back. Although it was shown in the ad, we had no idea it was so spacious and full of lovely greenery and flowers. We highly recommend this rental!' ****

The Best Rent-by-Owner Experience we have ever had

5 of 5
Submitted: November 25, 2007 Stayed: November 2007
We stayed at David's apartment for just 3 days, but it immediately felt like home. I cannot say enough about what a fantastic experience it has been. There is NOTHING you need. Everything you can think of is provided. There is a great grocery just 1 block away, as well as some great places to eat within walking distance.

The buses run very frequently and the 511 web site is great to plan your trip via the buses.

Having the garage was a huge benefit also.

We have already recommended it to my daughter's friends for when they visit the area.

Over the years we have stayed at many Rent-by-Owner locations from the East coast to Hawaii, and this has to be the best experience we have ever had. David's website is very comprehensive and offers all the information you need to have an unforgettable experience.

We will absolutely stay here again when we come to the San Francisco area.
Recommended for:  Tourists without a Car, Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: We are really pleased to know you enjoyed your stay! We try hard to think ahead so you will find what you need, and more. We clean and maintain our home as if we were staying there ourselves - because we often do!
