Wonderful Location

This property is located in the heart of numerous tourist destinations. It was enjoyable staying in an authentic San Francisco home while still being within walking distance or a short drive from everything we wanted to see and do. It is well-kept and met all our needs! Highly recommended.

Location, location, location with breathtaking rooftop views!

We stayed here because it was a great location! It was walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard St, The Palace of Fine Arts and Ghirardelli’s Chocolates (great desserts!) among other sights. Close to a Trader Joe’s. Easy access to bus or trolleys. It had 2 bedrooms and could sleep 4 people. It had a large amount of space with a living room, dining room, kitchen & 2 bathrooms. The shared rooftop deck had killer views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge! The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill flew over the rooftop deck 2 days about 3:45pm each day. It’s worth hanging out on the deck to hopefully catch a glimpse of and hear them loudly squawk.It is walking distance to watch the Sea Lions at the pier. At the Transamerica Pyramid, there is a free exhibit The Vertical City, which displayed some models of the buildings designed by Lord Norman Foster, a world renowned architect. His company also designed the Millennium Tower in Tokyo and 30 St Mary Axe in London. Take a ride in a Waymo, a driverless car. Some tips about the place. The lower bathroom’s hot water is hot so only put it halfway between cold & warm to have a good shower. It has great water pressure.For the Keurig coffee maker, fill it with water, place a mug under it push the big button and wait as there is a slight delay before you gradually hear the water heating up and then it will start dispensing the coffee. Took us a bit to figure out.We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again!

Best place in SF

What can I say, what a beautiful location, the townhouse was beautiful and so well cleaned and ready for us. Working with the owner was such a delightful experience. She was so easy to get a hold of and even waited for us to arrive. If you have a choice don’t hesitate to choose this location. So well worth the cost definitely staying here again.

Charming House and Great Location!

We had a wonderful stay in Dede’s house. The house is really nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, the rooftop patio, and you just can’t beat the location! Dede was a great host. She communicated timely and clearly, met us at the house when we arrived, and gave us a personal tour of her home. I would highly recommend this house.

Great Location, Nice place, but Noisy.

We had a nice stay here. The host was great. Very responsive. What bothered us though was the noise. There is construction going on next door. A large apartment complex is being built and the workers work from about 7am until 5pm and on Saturday. I wish this was disclosed in the description. Also the Ghirardelli tower is being renovated so it is cloaked and scaffolded. The view doesn't quite match the photo. Obviously the host is not responsible for this, but again, it would have been nice to have it disclosed. Location is great, but street noise is substantial It is a city after all, however I am a former San Francisco resident and some streets are noisier than others. On Friday night a motorcycle cavalcade of about 20 motorcyclists decided to pull up and linger and rev their engines for about 30 minutes. This was really disruptive to our rest. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again for these reasons.

Perfect Location

This was a wonderful place. It was a very clean, up to date condo with more amenities than you’ll need. The rooftop was a great addition! Our family visited on a very busy weekend but the location made it so convenient (food and entertainment) that we never moved our car the entire time. Communication with the owner exceed our expectations. She was wonderfully helpful and completely accessible for any questions or concerns. We will definitely visit again!

This quirky house checked all the boxes for us. The only caution is that there is construction next door as well at Ghirardelli Square. If you are up early and out the door to see the sights, it is not an issue. I would stay here again.

Best location in SF!

We stayed for 4 nights in this San Fran gem to be centrally located for our vacation and tour of the city. It worked out perfectly well. Such a great street, close to Fisherman’s Wharf and all the cool spots. Ghirardelli was a block away, as was the Buena Vista - two of our favorites. The beds were comfy, and the furnishings were all good. Tight on the spiral staircase but no issue for us or our kids (ages 11-14). Easy in and out at check in with the lockbox. Dede was in constant communication to be sure everything was all set.

Dede was a great hostess. Always available to answer questions.The rental was very close to everything. We were there 4 days and did not use our car. We walked and used the cable cars. The rental was as advertised. The beds were comfortable. We had a great time. Fisherman’s Wharf is a great part of San Francisco. If you are looking for a place to stay this is it.

Perfect Spot

Perfect spot for a family to see the city! Lots of options around locally and simple trips via bus, train, cable car, or Uber/Lyft. Owner was incredibly resourceful and her place shows her attention to detail. My family and I felt incredibly comfortable and safe a 1/2 block from Fisherman's Wharf. Don't hesitate and read the visitor's book. We gained a lot out of the previous visitors and left a nice list for your stay too. Enjoy!

Long weekend in San Francisco

My son and I had a great long weekend at Dede's. Really great spot to stay at, being a short walk to the water front. Used Uber most of the time to get to other spots around the city, or simply walked. And there is a rental car spot a short walk away, and a garage where's you can park the car when not in use. In addition to great things around city, highly recommend Muir woods and other coastal areas across the Golden Gate bridge to the North. Even took in zip lining thru the red woods at Sonoma Zipline Adventures, a little over an hours drive north. Thanks again Dede for sharing your wonderful place.

Amazing location near Fisherman's Wharf

Myself, wife and daughter stayed at Dede's for four nights to see some shows during Sketchfest 2024. It's a wonderful condo with a rooftop deck right across from the Ghirardelli clock tower and what a view of the bay! Dede was so helpful and accommodating without being intrusive at all. It was a great trip and this was a perfect "base camp" where we started and planned our trips each day. So much to do within walking distance, but even with some rain over the weekend I have to mention Ubers arrive so fast in SF. This is a good one.

Perfect, cozy home base for our SF visit

This cozy, well-sized and well-maintained home was conveniently located a block from Ghiradelli Square and made our visit to SF easy to do all the things we planned: Alcatraz, Fisherman's wharf, riding cable car, Muir Woods. The included parking was a huge plus. It was a quiet street but just walk a block toward the waterfront and you have all the shops, restaurants and action of Fisherman's Wharf. The house was exactly as described and had all the conveniences of home, such as fully stocked kitchen, including spices, cooking oil, plenty of paper towels, which we many properties don't provide. The owner Dede was a great host and was very responsive to any questions. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 teens, and the house was comfortable in every way. The bathroom and master BR were huge. The roof deck is very cute and has beautiful views. We would stay again and highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Dede Tisone

Host profile image
We thoroughly enjoy living in San Francisco. San Francisco is one of the world's most beautiful cities and this is the perfect location from which to explore it. We walk the neighborhoods, use public transportation, eat in fabulous restaurants and attend all of the many exciting events this city has to offer. We love making all this possible for people traveling to San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

We want to share this lovely space with people who would like to have a real San Francisco experience.

What makes this property unique

When you stay here, you will be just a cable car ride away from Union Square in San Francisco and a bike ride away from the Golden Gate Bridge. On Friday night, walk to Fort Mason where they circle the Food Trucks. Take a trolley to the Ferry Building to visit an amazing farmer's market on Saturday morning. Catch a cab on the corner to the best restaurants in the world. You will be a 15 minute drive to Sausalito and an hour away from Muir Woods or the Napa and Sonoma wine country. From the roof deck you will be able to see ships sailing by Alcatraz and Angel Islands. You can even take a swim in the chilly waters of the Bay or just enjoy the sandy beach of Aquatic Park just a block away.
