Large Victorian home in Noe Valley with gorgeous backyard

You can get a vibe of living at that period oftime that this house has been built, and it was very good experience.

Door code didn't work. Hard to get ahold of Vladi - said water got into his phone. Finally able to get a code that worked and got in. Some parts unclean - slept in bed, used towels, trash not taken out, unflushed toilet. Two bedrooms did appear unused and clean. Called all the numbers available - no response or went to full voicemail. Sent images via text - no response. Called vrbo and they were able to reach him and he promised various remedies. Then he called us via separate line so wasn't recorded with vrbo. Did have a person April and cleaner Francisco come by promptly - but they had no idea why the lower bedroom and main area was used. Did someone have the door code and stay there unbeknownst? Or inconsistent cleaning practice? A contractor that used the home and didn't repair a broken window (inside)? Vladi was at times emotional labile on phone describing a personal matter which appeared out of place to us and disconcerting. Despite assurances they would clean again, we definitely didn't feel safe staying there with our family and didn't feel comfortable with the quality and consistency of communication. So soon after arrival were on the street corner with the children and luggage trying to find a safer place.Have contacted vrbo multiple times (phone and email) without satisfactory assistance to resolve the matter.

Vladi’s home was comfortable, quiet, well-stocked and in a great location. Vladi was a gracious host and our family of 5 had a great time.

We stayed for a college graduation and were the family of the graduate. Our stay lasted 4 nights. The house is a great house in a wonderful and quiet Noe Valley neighborhood. It has great bones and a magical back garden. The unit has 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom in the basement. 1 bathroom upstairs is split into two rooms (toilet room and shower room). It has a clawfoot bathtub that is beautiful but not conducive for older people. The basement bathroom is spacious with a large walk in shower. The house is decorated in the mid-century modern approach which is quaint. The kitchen is small but mighty and there are two tables for dining. The kitchen could be larger by abandoning the kitchen table and extending the counters and cabinets. The entire house lacked spit, shine and polish. This extended to every room in the house and all the household goods. The owner was very pleasant and eager for our detailed suggestions which we gave. However, we were impacted by the condition and inventory of items and the response. If the owner takes our suggestions and invests as necessary, the house would be a 5 star. For such a great amount of money we paid to rent, we expected a lot more in the rental. Also, the advertisement/listing does not make it clear that you will be charged 50 per night per person extra over 4 people. but the house is listed as sleeping 8. It sleeps 6 in beds and 2 on an air mattress (which had a hole and had to be replaced). I have future hopes for this place!

Spacious. Comfortable. Terrific home-base. Lovely backyard. Responsive host. Great neighborhood.

Just as described and great for our last minute family Christmas trip. Host was responsive and flexible. Large home in an interesting and beautiful part of San Francisco. We are walkers and greatly enjoyed climbing Twin Peaks and exploring.

Host lives in the unit upstairs. When we arrived on Sat afternoon, it was clear the unit hadn’t been cleaned from the prior guests. There was loud music like from a party playing. We had to clean all the sheets and towels ourselves because VRBO wasn’t going to refund us if we went to stay at another property. Loud music played all through Sat night into Sunday morning. It was still playing Sun afternoon when we got back from sightseeing. I called SF police Sun because I was afraid someone upstairs was unwell. Cop asked me if I could smell a dead body. The cops did come over, but the loud music wasn’t enough for them to forcibly go in there. My husband found the circuit breaker box and shut off the electricity for the unit upstairs, and that’s how we got the music to stop. On Mon night I received a text from host’s wife that host had had a medical emergency Fri night and that’s why the music was playing and he was not responding to our calls and messages. I have requested a partial refund for the stay because we had to clean all the linens for him and the noise made it impossible to sleep, but he is dragging his feet on it because “money is tight.” I just think this is a completely irresponsible way for a VRBO host to behave.

Overall the property was good except finding dirty objects around the house. Cleaning crew has to do a better job. Found a used condom, dirty baby bottle, cigarettes butts. Vaping tool.

We loved our stay and I would highly recommend this house! Our son graduated from University of San Francisco and was a great location to the university. House was super clean and very spacious. Vlad is a great host. Hope to be back again.

It was the perfect location for a wonderful week in SF.

We were a three-generational group and enjoyed our Christmas stay in quiet Noe Valley. The house is a great size for six people, although the kitchen is very small for cooking large holiday meals (barely fits two people working). The garden is lovely and private. The beds were comfortable. The steep street the house is located on was challenging for the elderly among us. Noe Valley shops and restaurants are very close by, and the summit of Twin Peaks is only a twenty-minute climb.
