About this property

Spectacular Bay and City Views

Live in The Garden of Eden in an Urban Environment.

Fabulous north and east bay views, sunny, modern Furnished 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath private 2nd floor located in a landmark 2 unit, 3 story building 4 blocks from SF Bay on the north slope of Russian Hill. The private VRBO space is 1000 square feet. It has a large panoramic view living room, full view dining room, 2 bedrooms with queen and 2 twin pillow top beds, remodeled bathroom with jacuzzi bath, ultra modern remodeled kitchen. Double Pane soundproof windows. Cable TV, DVD,WiFi available. Large outdoor north facing Alcatraz view deck (25ft x 8 ft). Access to large back yard and beautiful garden.

Note: This private VRBO space is part of the owners living space when not used as a VRBO short term rental space.

1 indoor garage car parking available for additional charge.

Weather permitting, a flock of the 'Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill' stops by at 3pm every day.

Additional Disclosures:
The view is great because of the 45 steps you will need to climb from the street. There is also a step up jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Also there are a couple of cats, raccoons, skunks, and parrots that make the rounds outside the property, just in case you have severe allergies to animals. No pets/animals have been allowed in the rental unit, so it has always been pet/animal free. However if you have severe allergies to cats, you SHOULD NOT stay here!

The unit is cleaned on a basic cleaning (not Clean Freak) standard before arrival of guests. If you are a "Clean Freak white glove inspection” type who likes to look for flaws in the unit and not disclose them to me within 24 hours of arrival so I can correct any issues, and rather disclose such issues 1 week later to satisfy your desire to be an “internet critic” or try to extract a subsequent discount on the daily rate, then please DO NOT stay here.

Owner Interaction
Location was nice but that’s the only thing. Rob has no business being in hospitality. He came into the rental while we were out everyday. There are clearly domestic violence issues going on. It made it very uncomfortable

A great find
We needed a place with a good kitchen to cook for Thanksgiving, and Robert's place was perfect. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped, the views were spectacular, and the couch and TV made for great football watching. Robert was a charming host and very communicative. And obviously, a great location.

Nice visit
If you can't handle steps, then this is probably not the property for you. If you want modern , then this is probably not the property for you. But if you want a great location (especially for the Fleet Week airshow), this is great. The home is comfortable, well stocked, and the hosts are very accommodating.

Everything we hoped it would be!
Location, location, location! Robert was great! We loved our stay. Very nice and roomy place. The newly updated kitchen was stocked with coffee, condiments, spices, etc. 10 minute walk to the Wharf one way or to Ghirardelli Square the other way. 2 blocks to the Cable Car station. Great restaurants everywhere. Robert and his assistant Laurie were chock full of helpful information. We are very grateful!

Like staying at home, with an awesome view
If you love staying in cozy, whimsical places with ahhh-mazing views, this is the place. You will feel like you are staying at a friend's home, and their home is your home. The hosts are very attentive and are on site or a phone call away if you need anything. Best shower pressure I've had in my life. YES! I did see the parrots :) Thank you!!

Great for families
Robert’s place was a great fit for what we needed. We had 3 adults and two small children- being able to have everyone stay in one unit with 2 separate bedrooms and sitting area, as well as a full kitchen was a great set up for us. The rate for those amenities in this super location made it such a great deal. Regarding kiddos, Robert had a pack-n-play, which was really great. We did need to do a bit of kid-proofing, but Robert was accommodating there.

Perfect and authentic SF stay near Ghirardelli
This unit was perfect for our family of 5. The location and views were outstanding. One teen slept comfortably on couch. Easy walk to cable cars, Ghirardelli, and bike rental. We will be back. Bike across Golden Gate is a must. If you read some reviews, there are some quirks. None were issues for us. If you are looking for Marriott level decor and empty surfaces, look elsewhere. I’m still laughing at owner’s response to food in freezer. The view, location, and garage parking space at this price exceeded our expectations.

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived in San Francisco for 46 years, all the time in this property initially as a renter, then as the owner in 2002.

Why they chose this property

The views are spectacular from this building. Plus this property was one of the first rebuilt after the earthquake of 1906, and is a classic 'captains' house overlooking the entire San Francisco Bay.

What makes this property unique

This property is the perfect blend of the classic past existing in the buzz of all the tourist activities.
