Good place to rest your head

Very clean. Having Coffee available was wonderful. Comfortable beds. Great views. There are a lot of stairs, so be aware. Leave outside lights on to illuminate stairs after dark.

Great little find

Very much enjoyed my stay here. Everything was clean, lots of amenities etc. Easy to find and access location wise. David was so helpful when I had a question for him, responding immediately and well. It’s a really interesting building and has a lot of character. Some quirkiness too.

Quirky - down to earth place

The family was so nice and accommodating…communication was excellent. Shower pressure was the best. Beautiful sunrise. Being upstairs it was very hot, with only a few windows that could open, but David added a portable AC which made a world of difference! Pics don’t show it, but in addition to the bed in the bedroom, there was a double bed with twin bunk in the living room which was a nice addition. Beds could use fitted sheets versus just a flat sheet as the keep getting “untucked” and bunched up. Lots of steep stairs, so if you or fur baby have mobility issues beware. Location was central to everything we needed - close enough to ride bikes (a couple blocks - down the steep hill narrow street) to the bike path that connects all over the place…best to ride through the Cal Park tunnel over to Larkspur Landing or path by Bon Air shopping center or The Village shopping center on the Bay Trail. The infrared sauna is a bonus! Not a fancy place - but low-key and comfortable. We’d stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by David Isham

My wife Trang and I live in this Edwardian mansion. We raise chickens in our backyard.

Why they chose this property

I spent 3 years renovating this property. I spared no expense to preserve its classic 100 year old Edwardian architecture.

What makes this property unique

This is a 100 year old Edwardian Mansion over looking the San Francisco Bay and only 13 minutes from the city of San Francisco. Minutes away from the Ferry terminal. We raise chickens in our backyard and you may even get some fresh organic eggs!
