Vacation Rental Description
This beautifully restored 2 bedroom flat is the first floor apartment
is a great 1911 Victorian house, in the middle of the city. The house
is nestled between Duboce Park and picturesque Alamo Square, in the
geographic center of San Francisco. Within walking distance are Hayes
Valley, the Castro, Mission, Fillmore and the Haight-Ashbury districts.
While being located a half block from the pubs and shops of lower
Haight Street, the house retains a residential calm. Public
transportation nearby connects you to the entire city. You have the
convenience of buses, the rail system and cable cars to easily access
the Financial District, Union Square, the Embarcadero and North Beach.
The flat has original hardwood floors and parquet throughout, accented
by brass fixtures. The front rooms are comprised of the foyer, living
room and dining room, which feature 12-foot ceilings and two
decorative Victorian fireplaces. Period details such as original
molding, stained glass windows, and 25 pivoting windows make this
apartment a special find.
The flat is furnished with antiques and oriental rugs, books, maps and
guidebooks for your use, and amenities such as cable TV, DVD, and
unlimited DSL Internet access.
The black-tiled bathroom features both a claw foot tub and a marble
shower, with a separate WC across the hall. The two comfortably
appointed bedrooms with full/double beds each have bay windows, which
get full sunlight from morning to midday. The linen closet is stocked
with plenty of linens and towels.
The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, dishwasher, full-sized
fridge with water filter, coffee maker, blender, cooking supplies, and
cabinets stocked with necessities for cooking. There is a separate
utilitarian “prep” kitchen with second sink and butcher’s block, by
which you access the back stairs down to the backyard, with bench,
fountain and BBQ grill.
Unique for a city rental, the rate includes use of a private, one-car
garage with coded entry adjacent to the house for your use during your
stay in San Francisco.
COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS RENTORS:
"If you want to experience life in San Francisco without going broke,
this is the perfect place. 5 to 10 minutes from everywhere, this
beautiful and charming old house comes with everything. Just bring
your toothbrush."
— Jorge Villegas, Miramar, Florida
"This trip we wanted to avoid SF tourist areas and instead desired a
neighborhood for our family vacation. The apartment is old and
charming, with beautiful wood moldings, antiques, and large rooms. The
kids found the space of a home & we loved the location. Parking on
site was so helpful, but we often took the bus & trains and walked."
— Margaret Chapello, Hinsdale, IL
“Two friends and I just spent a week at the flat on Steiner Street.
The location was perfect - convenient to bus lines, stores and
restaurants. The apartment was roomy and comfortable. We would
certainly return and recommend the accommodation to friends.”
— Maryellen Cronin, Massachusetts
"Just wanted to let you know how perfect our stay at the flat was! It
was nice to be able to spread out into a big space instead of being
cooped up in a hotel room. And the area was cool! There were a ton of
great places to eat and it was so convenient to the MUNI. Thanks again
for letting us stay. It could not have been better."
— Christina Plumhoff, FL
"This isn’t a bed and a room, it’s a home from home and an experience.
You breakfast slowly in the sun sitting at the kitchen bar or in the
dining room - fruit, cereal, coffee, eggs, pancakes, toast, even steak
- this is a cook’s kitchen and the supermarket is just down the road.
You can plug in your laptop and stay ahead of your e-mail or run your
business. At the end of the day, you lie on the sofa listening to
music or watching TV before turning in to sleep in peace and comfort.
And you know nothing about plumbing possibilities until you’ve turned
on all the taps in the Victorian shower. Yeah, I’ll be back."
— Lesley Harwood, Wellington, New Zealand
"We loved every minute that we stayed in your wonderful home. It came
with everything any family could want and more. Thank you for having
it there for families to find, stay and enjoy San Francisco from, it
was a great home base."
— The Stewart Family, Texas
