Experience luxury in this recently renovated designer pad in the heart of San Francisco. This urban oasis is over a century old and was originally owned by a renowned photographer and student of Ansel Adams. This suite was previously used as his dark room where he developed a lot of his famous work!

The private guest-suite features two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one shower, one bath), an open plan living and dining space with a sleek custom kitchen. Set on a corner lot, this remodelled Victorian is a chic and quiet retreat ideal for couples, families, business travellers or people looking to work remotely.

One bedroom overlooks the garden and offers spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline. It's hard to beat sitting in bed by a large bay window and looking out beyond the wisteria and roses to the city lights. Bedroom two has a French window that opens onto the deck with access to the garden as well.

Brand new deck (accessible, both from the second bedroom and living room) leads to a charming little English garden flush with roses and hummingbirds. Find your way to the middle of the garden and perch yourself on the bench under the Wisteria for a quite read or some peaceful yoga under the blooms. Engulfed by the smell and sight of roses and the lights of downtown San Francisco as your backdrop, enjoy a starry night under the Wisteria with a hot mug of cocoa or a nice glass of Californian wine (Psst, if you’re nice, the host might indulge you with a glass of complimentary local wine).

HIGHLIGHTS:
• The kitchen features a brand new electric stove, microwave, a stylish Smeg refrigerator, wet bar and Bosch Dishwasher. Also provided are high-end appliances such as a Vitamix, Nespresso (Organic coffee, tea and Sugar included).
• Luxury bedding, organic bath (100% bamboo toilet paper, organic shampoo, conditioner, and body soap) and kitchen products provided.
• In-unit laundry with detergent provided.
• Smart radiant heat under the floors throughout the house (turned on ahead of your visit on nippy days)
• Excellent fiber internet
• 24hour check-in with Nest door lock
• Top of the line finishes including gorgeous hardwood floors, custom glass, marble, lighting and cabinetry.
• Majestic views of the San Francisco skyline from the garden room
• Small dog and cat friendly!

My family and I live upstairs. Please let us know if you are coming on a family vacation, a romantic getaway or a business trip to Silicon Valley so we can make suggestions accordingly.

Kids are most welcome (we have one human and canine growing up in this house). Based on your profile, we can drop off books, games, scooters, bicycles, a yoga mat (unwind on our deck or garden!) and occasionally some freshly baked goodies. We will also provide some nosh for your first day. Should you be so inclined, we also have a stash of amazing local and international wine!

With its vintage atmosphere and modern conveniences, unwind in our home that exudes comfort, care, inspiration & relaxation. Come and feel true San Francisco history and hospitality.

    Great spot for a weekend trip to SF. Comfortably fit 5 of us (adults) and had some nice amenities.

    The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The home is nice. This is a downstairs apartment which is nice. The “garden” area is being ignored and was quite a let down. There is also an ant problem if the kitchen I wish she had just been notified about so we could have held the line on that for you. I’ve been in cheap motels with better towels in the bathrooms. There is not one lamp in the entire place so no late reading if you’re partner wants to sleep. Also no alarm clock to be found but a closet full of children’s books?? Ok. Overall it was pleasant but the “amenities” were quirky shall we say.

    Wonderful place to stay! Quiet, with a lush courtyard garden. Plenty of room for us and our guests for a 2 night stay. We came early August and did not need AC. The heater was perfectly comfortable for the evenings. The owner responded to messages right away, and was very friendly and easy to communicate with!Location was so convenient—easy walk to cafes and grocery stores!

    Clean, stylish, and modern unit (good coffee!), great location, excellent communication with host. Only improvement to the space would be some lamps, especially in the bedrooms. We hope to be back!

    It was a wonderful stay - thank you so much. I gave the host some heads up about things to note after we'd left and he jumped in while we were out to deal with it straight away. I really appreciated that!

    We took our annual friends trip to SF this year and stayed in this perfect apartment. The finishes are top notch and the location was great. Other than parking on the steep hills, we had a great time and would absolutely stay again!

    Comfortable, clean and stylish place to explore San Francisco. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a pleasant outdoors with city views. Few nice neighborhood cafes! Excellent beds and bathrooms. Very friendly owner; easy communications. Need I say more?

    We had a wonderful stay and will return as our family friends live just blocks away. The apartment is thoughtfully outfitted with everything you might need. Very responsive and helpful host. The location was beautiful. The apartment is located on a steep hill, which was fine for us, but might be a challenge for anyone not able-bodied.

    The home was clean, cozy and a wonderful stay for the night. The garden in the back was absolutely stunning. So many varieties of flowers - just fell in love with this secret garden in the city. Although there was no TV we brought games and enjoyed playing them while listening to music - no biggie for us. The kitchen was nicely stocked but lacked some basic items like olive oil but we just walked to the market. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We would visit and stay again at this location.
