Vacation Rental Description

Completely renovated and tastefully furnished Victorian Cottage in the beautiful upper  
Haight-Ashbury/Buena Vista Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, across the street  
from 36-acre Buena Vista Park. The Cottage was once the carriage house for the  
neighboring and lovingly restored and maintained historic Victorian house occupied by the  
owners, has its own private entrances and mail box as well as its own phone, cable TV,  
and high-speed internet connection through the cable TV with a wireless router. There is a  
27" color TV with DVD player in the living room; another TV in one of the bedrooms has a  
built-in VCR. 
 
The gated entry on Buena Vista Avenue East opens to a large private garden with patio  
leading to the front entry of the Cottage. Once inside, you step through a small vestibule  
into a large living room with lots of natural light that runs the width of the Cottage and is  
separated from the kitchen by a high counter and elegant above-counter cabinets. On the  
same floor is the fully-equipped kitchen (including plates, glasses, flatware, pots & pans  
as well as dishwasher, oven, stove, microwave, toaster, and toaster oven) and small office  
and half-bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms with ample closet space, each with a double  
bed, dresser and other accessories. The bedrooms share a large modern bathroom with  
bathtub/shower combination. The washer and dryer are in one of the large closets in the  
east bedroom. Skylights brighten the hall, bath, and bedrooms of the second floor. An  
intercom system allows communication between the two floors, the front gate, and the  
additional entry on Buena Vista Terrace from the basement level.
