About this property

Gorgeous space with incredible amenities within walking distance of Cable Car Museum (2 min), Chinatown (3 min), Union Square (15 min), Fisherman's Wharf (23 min). Backyard with night light display and beautiful plantings. Fast internet, oversize cable TV. Nob Hill Cafe, 7 Hills Restaurant, and Le Beau groceries just steps away. Alfred Hitchcock filmed his opening scene to Vertigo atop our building. Our street is flat 2-3 blocks in either direction. We are on Nob Hill so there are many sloping streets nearby with the opportunity to get exercise! There are steps going down to the apartment: 5 then 1 then 2 then 4.

Already booked the next stay!

My son lives a few blocks from this location and so was a perfect location for me. The owner Ray is as nice as they come, very accommodating and responsive. There are a couple of nice restaurants for dinner within a block or so and also a 2 breakfast spots right next to each other a block away. All of which were easy walks in a city that isn't always easy to walk. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and appointed. There is a nice, private back patio to sit in the nice weather and helps give the apartment an open, spacious feeling.

Best VRBO ever

We had an amazing stay - the apartment is on a lovely street on Nob Hill, with a prime location between cable car routes. Ray is a consummate host, and the apartment is immaculate and full of thoughtful, top-of-the-line features, including comfortable beds and soft linens. We enjoyed hanging out at the property and walking down to the Marina, Chinatown, and catching the cable car to Union Square.

The best Vrbo experience

This property was the best stay in San Fran. The owner Ray is incredible with communication and setting you up for everything you need. This property is beautiful with an incredible interior. This was a home away from home. The wife and I will be staying here again. This was an incredible stay.

And a Premier property

We stay in a lot of VRBO‘s and this is one of the best. Everything from the location to the communication with Ray and all of the amenities were absolutely perfect. The backyard patio was phenomenal and Everything about the apartment was wonderful. Ray pays attention to every detail and he clearly takes pride in making sure that you have a comfortable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ray

We built this home and have owned it for 17 years. My wife and I are retired now and are roaming the world and sailing the 7 seas in our boat, including San Francisco Bay. We love to host new people and allow them to find the sights, pleasures, and joys of San Francisco. We first moved here in 1976, moved to the country to raise our boys, and returned to our beloved SF (don't call it "Frisco"! :) when our boys formed their own families.

My wife loves art -- she is an art history MA. I love sailing anywhere in the world and meeting people. We both love being with our kids and grandkids. I grew up in California as a country boy whilst my wife is a Brooklynite. She loves reading and book clubs. I love projects and connecting.

Why they chose this property

Our home is the bottom level of a 4-story building built in 1908. EVERYTHING in the building has been redone, down to the pipes and electrical wires. You won't find old, danky kitchen drawers or grimy bathtubs here. Everything sparkles! Plus! -- it has a fabulous history as being the "Vertigo Building" -- where Alfred Hitchcock filmed the opening scene to the famous Vertigo movie on our roof.

Why do you want to come here? The bed is incredibly comfortable -- an expensive Casper mattress. The location can't be beat if you want to be in the middle of everything or hop a cable car. The cable car at one end of the street goes up, the other end of the street has a down cable car. Don't like cable cars? We walk everywhere here, from downtown, to North Beach, to Chinatown, to shopping, to Union Street, to the Mission. If you like walking exercise, you'll get plenty walking the hills around our place although our street is level 2-3 blocks in either direction.

Another reason you want to come here... it's not your typical short-term rental. We live here but it's not chock-a-block full of our stuff. Plenty, plenty of space for your things to be unpacked. It's chic and stylish. Want to cook? Welcome to a chef's kitchen! Want a good shower or bath? Welcome to possible the best shower you'll ever have. Need to wash a lot of clothes from days of travel? Welcome to a full size washer/dryer.
