Charming Large Studio With Expansive View

This apartment is truly a hidden gem, stuck away behind a lush, beautifully landscaped garden that still allows a wonderful view of Golden Gate Park, the Presidio and the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance (when they’re not shrouded in fog). The walk up the steep hill could be a challenge if you have limitations, but the reward was so worth it for me. The interior is nicely done and comfortable. It’s a studio, but spacious. I cooked most of my meals, but there are good neighborhood restaurants and groceries just a few blocks down the hill. I didn’t have a car, but the neighborhood is served by multiple bus routes and the N line within a walk of 5-10 minutes. Ilya is a delightful host, very friendly and helpful if needed. They live in the house above, but the setup provides plenty of privacy. I’ve finally found my go-to rental in San Francisco and am already planning my return.

Spacious studio with beautiful view in a a very nice neighborhood. Close to public transportations(trolly and bus). Lot of restaurants are within walk distance. The owner is very friendly and polite. I stayed 1 month and I love the stay.

a truly lovely apartment-- fabulous location and absolutely lovely inside. owner was extremely helpful but had absolutely no problems with apartment during 7 week stay. highly recommended for 1 or 2 people staying in San Francisco.

We stayed again in this unique and lovely place. We can fully recomend it.

Fantastic apartment! Host/owner is wonderful.

My husband and I stayed a month with Ilya and all was better than expected. The apartment was beautifully furnished, v comfortable bed, and though a studio, did not feel like one. There is a good sized separate kitchen and beautiful modern bathroom. The apt is v light and bright; the deck with magnificent view adds to its charm and comfort!

We spent a month at this beautiful property while my husband recovered from a significantly difficult surgery. The bed was firm (which is what he was looking for) and comfortable, the living space is charming, and the view when the weather cooperated was spectacular. Ilya and Jack were so friendly and welcoming and took care of any questions we had. I needed to have some medical equipment delivered and they allowed me to ship to their address and brought that packages to our unit. Long or short-term, Golden Gate Vista is a wonderful getaway from the hustle of the city. We would definitely stay here again for our next trip to San Francisco.

Beautiful views from deck. Up scale and clean neighborhood with restaurants and grocery. Old world decor. Ilya and Jack are very nice. For me the bed was not very comfortable, it is a firm mattress. Overall, it was very convenient place to stay during shelter in place and for work

The studio was beautifully designed and spacious. The full kitchen was well equipped and easy to navigate. The neighborhood was very safe and provided me with a stress free living space while my husband was at UCSF. I could easily walk to Cole Valley for restaurants and markets or up to Tank Hill for exercise. My host, ilya was helpful and close by to answer any questions. The studio was charming and up to date. The deck out front gave way to a wonderful view of San Francisco & the Golden Gate Bridge. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I need a home away from home!

My husband and I spent a month in San Francisco visiting our son, who lives there. We were absolutely thrilled with this apartment. It is located in one of the nicest neighbourhoods in the city - very pretty, typically tree-lined San Francisco streets surround it, and it is at the foot of Tank Hill, from which you can have a lovely view of the city after a five-minute walk. Public transportation isn’t far and there are lots of shops and nice restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartment itself is very tastefully decorated, comfortable and efficient. The terrace just outside the entrance has a stunning view of the city, the Golden Gate Park and the GG Bridge. We did quite a bit of cooking and the kitchen has everything one might need, as well as the same, nice view. The bathroom is also big and quite luxurious. If by any chance there is something you don’t have at hand, Ilya, the owner of the apartment, will quickly supply you with what’s missing - in my case a vase! We hope to come back regularly to San Francisco and cross our fingers that this apartment will be free. Thanks Ilya and Jack for contributing to our memorable stay in your fascinating city!
