Sightseeing
San Francisco downtown - 16 miles. Although traffic in Bay Area can slow down access to the city, it only takes 20-30 min to drive to San Francisco when roads are clear. There are two ways to drive to the city: via the Bay Bridge and via the Richmond / Golden Gate bridges. This helps when there is heavy traffic on one of the routes. BART is also a great way to get to the city and the station is 5 min drive from the house. It is also accessible by bus.

Marin County - 16 miles
Napa Valley - 30 miles
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - 18 miles
As a frequent traveler myself, I appreciate places like my home that allow you to get the feel of real life and avoid tourist traps.
The location and views from this home are fantastic. This is a beautiful home, but it could use some interior updating in the kitchen. Very nice neighborhood.
Very comfortable and clean home with all of the amenities we needed. Loved the location and neighborhood !
Just what I needed, quiet , peaceful, property. It’s in a settled community where you can walk for hours and see beautiful views and interesting variety of landscapes. Easy access within minutes to Freeway if wanting to travel by car and explore the Bay Area. The Host was amazing, she communicated with me from the time I booked the property, and even after we checkout. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to come again.
Elaina’s property was a great place for our family of five adults to stay for a wedding in Tilden Park. The communication was always prompt.
we loved how homey this place felt. Everything you could need is provided. Quality linens and towels. Easy parking. Quiet, safe, clean neighborhood. Beautiful views and a cozy atmosphere. Luckily it was pet friendly too. We always treat our stays with the upmost respect and cleanliness but sometimes hosts do not allow dogs. Our babies were able to enjoy the patio which is nice to have when wanting a little fresh air. Great stay
Beautiful view. Quiet neighborhood. Everything great. Easy to check in and out. Thanks.
Easy to navigate and get around this centrally located home.
Positive in every respect.
Great place to stay! Quiet neighborhood up on the hill. Great view of the city across the bay. Comfortable bed! Pet friendly! Helpful host!
Excellent location to be based for touring around the Bay Area.
We had so much fun! Some things were not working while we were there, however the host was reachable 100% of the time. She was very nice.
Lovely house and the host was very responsive
You did not overstate the view! It is lovely. The beds are getting a bit worn, so I would not recommend this for a long stay. Otherwise, we were not lacking for a thing. Thanks for your hospitality.
Very nice place. Convenient location. Comfortable for four adults.
The home is cozy, well equipped and has amazing views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only one small thing. The tree at ground needs pruning. Our family is tall did lots of ducking. April and Phil
