San Francisco At Its Best

We had a wonderful month living in San Francisco despite the shelter in place order issued by the city halfway through our stay. The apartment was spotless and spacious and located in a perfect location to walk virtually anywhere in the city. David, the owner, was tremendously accommodating through the entire process. We highly recommend this apartment and will return, hopefully next winter.

Appartement très agréable très bien décoré et très bien situé

À proximité du Golden bridge Park, d'un arrêt de bus, et d'un super marché, l'appartement de David est spacieux et très bien décoré. On s'y sent très bien immédiatement. Il est parfaitement équipé, avec lave-vaisselle, lave linge et sécheuse. Équipement Internet bien pratique pour regarder les infos en différé. Petit jardin pour prendre le café ou un repas. On est prêt pour le recommander...ou y revenir. Merci à David pour sa disponibilité et sa célérité à répondre à nos questions.

Great vacation rental

My wife and I were there February 2019. I exchanged an email with David the day before we departed telling him how much we enjoyed his house and my wife comment regarding my email was I didn't rave enough. We read the reviews before we rented and we felt they were too good to be true. They weren't, they were true. The pictures of the house reflect the actual house, very attractive and very comfortable. Also it is very well located in terms of close to the town center and availability of public transportation. We walked to the town center or back from the town center a number of times. We were advised to purchase a "Clipper Card" which allows you to use the bus, train, cable car and trolley on a monthly single payment ($39.00 for seniors) basis. A telephone map app is very useful for figuring out how to get places using the transit systems. The comfort and location of the house, the convenience of the transit system the garage to leave your car and San Francisco combined t make our stay one of our best travel experiences.

Wonderful place

It was great! It felt very homey and had everything we needed. The location was great, we enjoyed walking to different restaurants each day. We were very close to the Golden Gate park and often walked or rode bike there. The bus line was only a block away. We did bring a car and it was a tight fit in the garage but we were glad to have a place to park (finding parking in San Francisco is tough). I loved our stay

Enjoy San Fransisco as a local!

On vacation from England, this is our second stay in this great home in a fantastic neighbourhood. We are already thinking about visit number three, what more is there to say! We’re in the city to catch up on the latest “hot” restaurants, so being able to get everywhere by walking and the occasional evening bus is just what we need to keep up an appetite! Thank you David for a perfect stay. Tartine Foundary is a great addition on the food front.

Truly wonderful!!

Nothing but impressed with this beautiful home! I was in the process of moving to San Francisco and looking for a temporary place to stay. I was so happy with my choice. The location is outstanding! Within steps to some of the best/most popular restaurants in town, golden gate park and more. David keeps the home in pristine condition and was very helpful and responsive with any question or problem I had. Would highly recommend!

Even better the second time around

We rented this apartment last summer, and were so impressed with its quality and spaciousness that we rented it again this summer. When we walked in this time, we just breathed a sigh of happiness, it was as good as we remembered. So much room! And such quality! Well worth the rental price. There are beautiful living and dining rooms, replete with paintings and prints that are wonderful. The bedroom is nicely removed from light and street sounds, great sleeps as a result. We cook as well as dine out when we're in the city, and the kitchen is large, and, again, beautifully appointed. There's a laundry room! How nice not be shoveling coins into pay machines down in the basement. We like to take buses and the three major routes out of the area get you quickly to all four compass points. A very modern Lucky's supermarket is literally a block away, and it's all flat walking (heavy groceries and SF hills don't agree with each other). Because of all these fine features and advantages, we enjoyed this trip to San Francisco even more than last summer. And, are we going to rent again? You bet! We've already booked next winter!

A perfect home away from home!

David was the perfect host and his home in SF was impecible. Especially appreciated the indoor garage, furnished backyard and gourmet kitchen. David left copious information on what to see, where to eat and how get there - both on his website and at the house. Conveniently located to restaurants (our favorite being Central Park Bistro), mass transit, and most every activity SF has to offer. Can't wait to get back!

Trust the reviews! This place deserves all of them.

We sojourned in San Francisco for two months as part of our post retirement, round the world trip. The desire is actually live in various cities around the globe for an extended period and get to learn to live local as much as possible. We stayed at David's home the entire time. It became our home for that duration and we loved being there. We were a little skeptical to see such glowing reviews of the property, seemed to be too good to be true, but they are 100% representative of his home. He takes special pride in catering to the needs of the tenants, is extremely attentive and a pleasure to deal with. We booked the place almost 18 months ahead of our arrival and there was great communication all along. David put our minds at rest and we were confident in finding what we were looking for ahead of time. He even told us of the best way to register our license plate for the various bridges in the area and this was both convenient and money saving. Little things like that are a real difference. The location was perfect for us. We walk everywhere and we could walk to the ocean, we could walk to Golden Gate Bridge, we could walk to Downtown. We were close to Haight Ashbury, the Castro, the Presidio, and spent a lot of time in nearby Golden Gate Park. When we wanted to take a bus, we rode the Muni all the time, there is great access with several close routes. The home is spacious and very well appointed. We largely cooked for ourselves and the kitchen has state of the art appliances and is fully stocked with everything you could ever need. In addition, don't discount the fact that one of the larger grocery stores in SFO is located on the next block, Lucky's, and it has both a large selection and good prices. We were there all the time. One of the selection criteria for selecting a location in SFO was the available garage as we had driven across the US and Canada and wanted to have a car for day trips in and around the Bay Area. The parking is very tight for a mid sized car, Ford Fusion, but ahead of signing the lease David validated the dimensions of both my car and the available garage space in order to ensure that we would be able to use it effectively. We did, tight squeeze, but we did it. There was great cooperation with the upstairs neighbors in this regard as well, nice people. David provides a cleaning service every two weeks, which is a luxury, and well appreciated. You should have no reservation in using this property!

Great vacation stay!!

We stayed at David's San Francisco home for eight nights in August. We've never stayed at such a comfortable rental! The location is very central, with a great supermarket - Lucky's - only 1 1/2 blocks away. With such a great kitchen , we stayed in for quite a few meals. It was so nice to have a quiet haven to return to after the "big" city activity. David was great to deal with; always returning e-mails very promptly. If we ever return to San Fran, we wouldn't hesitate to book this great rental.

Our best apartment rental.

We are just finishing our first stay at David’s house, and I can’t say enough about how pleasurable this month has been. We’ve rented apartments in a variety of locations, and his place tops them all. The furnishings are of amazing quality – no leftover odds and ends here. I use a Cuisinart coffee maker in the morning! The art in the house is astounding, so many quality canvases, prints, photos. We spend a fair amount of our inside time just appreciating them. For a one-bedroom house, the space is amazing, a full kitchen, family room, formal living and dining rooms, thick soft carpets everywhere, it’s truly remarkable. The garden in back is great. It’s well-tended, and sitting out there with a beer at the end of a day of touring is perfect. There is a new, huge Lucky’s supermarket literally a block away – and it’s a flat walk, no hills! Three of our favorite places to eat and drink are just across the street from the market, and the lovely Panhandle is a mere three blocks away. We have great memories now of sunny walks among the giant eucalyptus. We’re not in the heart of “old” San Francisco, and we personally find that to be a plus. It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy that area sometimes, and then to come home to a quiet, lovely residential area. We are bus people, and the buses in this area are incredibly convenient. The Ferry Building is 15-20 minutes away by bus, another whisks you right to the center of the beautiful Presidio, four or five others move you to Fisherman’s Wharf, Nob Hill, the Castro and Noe Valley, on and on. David is impressively attentive to any issue you may have and responds almost always the same day to emails. He has a handyman on call, there are cleaners that show up every two weeks, very clear instruction notebooks strategically placed around the house. Communicating with him has been an ongoing pleasure. Too good to be true? How sincere is this evaluation? We’ve already booked the house for next year!

Super Great SanFran

I was in San Fran for conference and Golf. Regarding the Conference, the location was close to the Wharf area for me to get to quickly. I was impressed with the the fully fitted kitchen with utensils- everything one would use to cook for a family. I used the toaster, but did not cook. The home was Clean, and ready for use. There's a store for food and drinks 1 block away. I left coffee filters in the unit when I left, so it would be there for You. Regarding Golfing, I played Presidio and TPC Harding, so I washed my dirty clothes. I can't do that at a hotel. Best of all, was use of the garage for parking the rental Infinity SUV- There was Nowhere to park in the neighborhood. Please do not Block the Driveway, since its a 2 unit home, the guys upstairs need to come and go!!! The entire home was great, but Parking in San Fran is a premium and this is a Very important feature. Don't rent anywhere in SF if they don't have reserved parking- you'll get ticket and towed!!! I would stay here again,

Definitely first class guest service in mind! Enjoy this gem!

I can’t wait to return to this gem of a home. I was enjoying my week’s stay so much I actually didn’t want to leave! I think you’ll feel the same! It is a delightful mix of vintage San Francisco, wonderful artwork and modern updates in the kitchen and bath. The pictures do not exaggerate the charm and artfully appointed living spaces. You can tell the owners have put much soul and time in to truly make this a welcoming and very comfortable home for a lovely getaway or an extended stay. Definitely first class guest service in mind! What a great responsive host! Just about all the essential “little things” were there. Did I say this home is clean, comfortable, charming, clean, convenient; you can walk to Golden Gate Park and it’s a straight short-ish shot to the beach, and a close walk to a full super market (like less than 2 blocks away), coffee shops, bus stops, and some good places to eat? Or you can always relax with a book or glass of wine in the lovely outside patio/garden area. If you are a media junkie or staying for business I don’t think you’ll be disappointed either. David has prepared great operating manuals for the business station, media center, and kitchen and laundry appliances, along with great suggestions for your stay. Enjoy!!

Absolutely wonderful home-away-from-home in great location

We had a fabulous 5-month stay in David's beautifully appointed San Francisco home! It is beautifully decorated, filled with every amenity we could think of, and truly felt like we were living in our own home. The backyard is an oasis of calm with lush landscaping, comfortable seating and hummingbirds. The kitchen is modern with great appliances and kitchenware. The bedroom is cozy, ultra comfortable and importantly, very quiet. There are 3 perfect places to eat: the large dining room, the kitchen table and the counter. With a family room AND a living room, there are so many places to relax and enjoy. The bonus: a laundry room AND a garage! David is an impeccable host...he is super responsive and just a pleasure to deal with, and always helpful with suggestions. Staying here was an overall perfect experience for us as we transitioned to relocating permanently to San Francisco!!! We couldn't recommend it more highly!

Comfortable and well-appointed home in the heart of San Francisco

This year was the first time I rented a whole flat for six weeks and I couldn't be more pleased about the experience. The home has a full complement of conveniences such as a fully equipped kitchen, washer dryer, computer, cable television and even garage parking. It is very attractive, clean and comfortable and can accommodate quite a few people although there were just two of us. The owner is extremely conscientious and responsive so, even though there is no face-to-face contact, any questions and concerns are promptly and efficiently addressed. My kids and grandkids did come over a bit and it was so fun to have such a nice place in which to gather. The location is ideal for touring San Francisco--we bought clipper cards for transit use and bussed and walked most of the peninsula. Bus use is so convenient from this location and leads to downtown, Japantown and Chinatown, east to the beaches, north to Fort Mason--virtually every direction. We also borrowed my daughter's car a few times for trips to East Bay and parked in the garage (although even the small Honda Fit must be maneuvered with great care to save the mirrors--but it's totally doable). This home is just blocks from Golden Gate Park and from east to west in the park, there is so much to appreciate. From interesting people in all manner of costume, to science and art museums, to the gorgeous botanical garden and AIDS Memorial to the many varieties of wildlife and water foul and the stunning cliffs and beaches--Golden Gate Park is an amazing resource. We so enjoyed it. From this home one can also access the Haight, Twin Peaks, the Castro, the Mission and points south. There is a grocery store one block away and many smaller specialty stores as well. There are coffee shops, restaurants of all kinds and many other resources within easy walking distance. If you're looking for an authentic and very comfortable San Francisco experience, this is your place. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent Apartment in a beautiful neighborhood. I rented the apartment for 1 month and added a weekly house cleaning. The apartment was very clean and the service outstanding. Thank you! The Nopa neighborhood offers everything you need in walking distance: nice restaurants, a supermarket and a laundry. I would definitely return for my next trip to San Francisco.

Spacious and Comfortable Home

My wife and I spent a month in David's home in San Francisco and had a great time. As previous reviews have mentioned, the house is conveniently located in NoPa, nicely furnished, well-equipped, and very comfortable. David has done an excellent job of providing instructions for the appliances, TV, DVD player, etc. We also really appreciated having a full sized washer and dryer in a separate room which was so convenient. There is also a nice collection of books and DVDs, along with a laptop, printer and fax. David has thought of just about everything one would need. The home is within a couple minutes walk to a few muni bus lines (#43 Masonic, #5 Fulton, #21 Hayes) which will take you all over the city. The nearby Fulton Market is just a block and a half away, and Target and a Trader Joes's are only a 12 to 15 minute walk or a short bus ride away. We will definitely seek a return visit to this home in the future.

Your home in San Francisco

We had a great week renting this well appointed apartment in NoPa. The place was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location convenient walking distance to restaurants and shops, yet one or two blocks into quiet residential territory. I was just remembering our visit from last year and saying to my spouse "We have to go back"! David is an extraordinary host. Professional and attentive, yet very respectful of privacy. We had a great ten days and will be back.

Fantastic home for our family

My family of 3 stayed in this wonderful home for 4 nights in a wonderful part of San Francisco. Plenty of room and privacy for couple and teenage son. Everything you could possibly need for your stay was provided in the home including use of all electronic equipment such as internet, laptop, tv, dvd player, etc. Wonderful, large kitchen, facilities like washer/dryer which were invaluable, beautiful garden out back where you could sit quietly with a cuppa; local supermarket was 2 mins away and bus stops to take you downtown or to see Golden Gate Bridge all within easy walking distance. The home has a fabulous manual for FAQ. Booked trip to Alcatraz and again no problem getting to the pier from the home via public transport. 30 min taxi ride to the airport. Communciation with David the homeowner was easy and straightforward with excellent instructions and tips for our arrival. Would recommend this place in a hearbeat! You won't find better!

A stunning home in a stunning city

My wife and I stayed at David's home for 11 nights in September 2014. I had read most of the reviews and seen all of the photos from the website beforehand and we certainly weren't disappointed when we arrived. The home was perfect, large, spacious and immaculate, truly a wonderful home. David provided everything we needed to know about the home and all of it's gadgets and the use of the laptop and internet was brilliant. The local supermarket (Lucky) was only 2 minutes walk from the property which catered for all our grocery needs and we found a great micro brewery across the street, opposite the supermarket where we spent quite some time!! Amazing ales and beers (www.barrelheadsf.com) We couldn't fault the property at all and would highly recommend it to any one really. It's a little bit of a way from the tourist traps of the wharfs, Pier 39 etc... but plenty of buses run down to Union Square and the Ferry Building so it wasn't a problem at all. Golden Gate Park is a short walk and we actually spent a morning walking through the park and went all the way to the beach at the other end, a long walk but a really lovely way to see the park. I'd just like to say a huge thanks to David for his hospitality, it really made our holiday and we would love to come back one day. Thanks again and sorry it's taken me so long to do this review.

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
We are a retirement age couple who find ourselves away from San Francisco 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!

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the San Francisco area for almost 50 years and purchased our San Francisco home in 1999. In 2001 we began to spend time away and a friend suggested we try VRBO. We learned that people really enjoyed our home-like atmosphere. We are thrilled with the response we have gotten and we 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 property unique

Most guests mention the feeling of a being in a real home as soon as they enter. We think this is because we still live there part of each year 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! 170 Five 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 and head downtown or to the beach.
