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.

Views are as advertised and location is great. Parrots were fun and in the morning before the city gets too busy, you can hear the sea lions barking. Water pressure is great. Location is less than a mile to most everything you want to see
Robert was a fantastic host and the property is perfect for getting to everything you need to see in SF. The view cannot be beat! We had 2 adults and 3 teenagers in the unit and we fit just fine, the couch was super comfortable for our tall teen and the other 2 fit great in the twin bed room. Kitchen was easy to navigate and Trader Joe's is a quick walk away to stock up. Plenty of coffee close by and it's only a few minutes walk to the wharf and all the sites by the water. Would definitely recommend for families!
Great location. Host was always available. Place could use a deep cleaning and decluttered. Twin beds were children size. We managed but too small for adults.
Clean rooms, comfy couch, usable kitchen and dining space a great water pressure in the shower. Robert was a fantastic host and we would definitely stay here again if/when we return.
Great location, Robert was super friendly and helpful, would definitely stay again.

Rob provided a pretty good description of this place. Be sure to read the description and what it doesn’t provide as Rob has detailed. The low-rating reviews are quite spot-on. As far as cleanliness, read those reviews…Laundry detergent used on towels and linens were so strong-smelling, it was not pleasant. Close to many attractions is the highlight of this place along with the nice view.
Unbelievable location! Within easy walking distance to Pier 39, bay cruises, Hop On Hop Off bus stops and trolley cars. The host bent over backwards to help us out when we left some items behind!
The view of the bay is worth the stairs! A perfect location for easy access toSan Francisco sights. Robert went above and beyond with how friendly and attentive he was. Our group of friends really enjoyed the stay here.
The location and view of this spacious place cannot be beat! Good value for money too. Rob was very helpful with recommendations about SF. We had a great stay.
Rob went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and safe!
The location was great with amazing views !!!
Don’t hesitate to book this amazing place !!
Amazing location and amazing views! My kids loved the ‘secret garden’ and the cats. The flat was well located for all the things we wanted to do. The place has everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Robert was a welcoming host and checked in to see if we needed anything. The decor is a little dated, but it doesn’t matter because you will be looking out the windows all the time. We would absolutely stay there again!
This house is very well located, with a view on the bay, close to bike rental and close from many SF sites by foot.The owner Robert was very helpful and improved our stay with many great tips, he even guide us to the city and to the Golden Gate Bridge.One warning: you need to consider there are numerous animals (especially cats) in the nearby if you are sensitive to odours !
The space is a perfect setting for enjoying a weekend in SF! Lots of amenities, beautiful views and very comfortable. Robert is a very gracious host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Stayed here with my two sisters while visiting SF. Location was great - Fisherman's Wharf and public transportation is within walking distance. Listing exactly as described and host was extremely responsive before and during trip. Would highly recommend.
