Live High Above San Francisco in Noe Valley! Rooftop Sunroom
Possession of a San Francisco Short-Term Rental Registration Certificate certifies that the registration certificate holder has agreed to comply with the terms of the San Francisco Short-Term Residential Rental Ordinance (San Francisco Administrative Code Section 41A).

San Francisco Business Lic. No. 1008012
Stay High Above the Rooftops of San Francisco’s Noe Valley
$950.00 weekly, 1 Week minimum stay, $2500.00 monthly., Sleeps 2. Unfortunately, I am not able to accommodate children. San Francisco has two (2) taxes that I have to collect from guests. A Transient Occupation Tax or TOT (14%), also known at the hotel tax for short-term rentals. I agree, it's a bummer.
You'll love this sunny, cozy rooftop studio like room in the quiet San Francisco neighborhood of Noe Valley (even though there is a fire station down the block). You will have a panoramic view all the way from Twin Peaks to the San Francisco Bay. Today, Noe Valley is one of San Francisco’s most desirable residential areas full of Victorian homes, shops, restaurants and easy public transportation access, all in one of the sunniest parts of The City.
Watch the fog hover over Twin Peaks as you have your morning coffee as the warm sun shines through your windows on three sides of the room. Accommodations include a warm comfortable bed, cable TV and wireless Internet access. You will also find a half-bath with a beautifully tiled shower, wet-bar with large sink and small refrigerator. You will be provided with dishware, pans, and utensils to make simple meals with the microwave, electric burner, and toaster oven. Linen and towels are provided.
This beautiful rooftop hideaway has a separate entrance through a side passageway and up a back staircase. Must be able to negotiate stairs since access is up a circular staircase of 43 steps that are unfortunately not very child-friendly.
You will be in walking distance to restaurants and Noe Valley’s 24th Street shops. You can also catch the J-Church MUNI line just a block away that will give you direct access not only to the Noe Valley, Castro, and Dolores Park Neighborhoods, but also to downtown for the Cable Cars, Union Square, and the Embarcadero. BART is just a short 10-minute walk away.
Parking is on the street if you have a car, though you must be careful about parking and street cleaning restrictions during the week which goes for all of San Francisco. A washer and dryer are available on the premises as well as a cozy small deck on the ground level.
Please let me know where you are coming from if you are interested in my rooftop sunroof.

It was a delight to have Laura M. return to what she call, "the treehouse", High Above the Rooftops of San Francisco. I would be more than happy to have her and her husband return anytime. Wonderful guests!
Dana was a wonderful host, very knowledgeable about the area with great recommendations for food, coffee, and nearby hikes. He was very flexible and understanding of our schedule and so sweet and attentive. We would gladly stay there again in the future! His sunroom had everything we needed for our stay and it was walking distance to shopping, restaurants, bars and cute cafes. And the view from the room was amazing every morning and evening!
The rooftop sunroom is a real gem. We enjoyed the view every minute we were staying there. Access to public transportation was very convenient and we found parking close by when we had a rental car. The neighborhood is delightful.
Excellent property. I stayed here for a couple months while in town for a work project. Great location and view. Dana the host is very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend as a short term rental.

This lovely young man stayed in my rooftop sunroom for over three months, doing an internship at a big tech company. Couldn't ask for a nicer person. I enjoyed having him as a guest and would certainly rent to him again.
The place was stunning -- waking up to the view of the city each morning, whether it be sunny or foggy, was an experience I never forget. Dana is lovely, gave me great tips and even helped with my bags on the steep back staircase. I loved my time here, and would come back anytime.

Enjoyed having Daniel as a guest, a young man just finishing a Ph.D. He was here from the East to take a job in the Bay Area. Very polite, courteous, and quiet. He kept his room nice. I'm happy that he enjoyed his stay in my rooftop sunroom. I would be happy to have him as a guest, again. All the best to Daniel in his new job.
Host was wonderful! He greeted us and gave us a thorough summary of the place and the neighborhood! Location is great! We did not have a car, but parking seems reasonable. Views are beautiful… But he warned that there are some narrow steps that can make large bags a bit of a pain to get up and down. We packed light and did not have any issues, but the stairs are certainly worth the accommodations and the view!

Here to visit a niece that lived just down the street. Lovely couple very nice and very receptive to my orientation and suggestions. Theylready knew a bit about the neighborhood and one of my favorite coffee cafes within walking distance. The wife will be returning later this month and I will look forward to seeing her again. I certainly would like to have them as guests in the future. I usually carry my guests' bags up the staircase since I know the staircase as well as when they depart. Unfortunately, they had a very early flight home and I wasn't able to help them out. Next time I will make sure I do so.
Dana is a very thoughtful host and an excellent communicator. The apartment is in a quieter part of town with plenty of restaurants and easy access to transit. We’ll stay here again next time we’re in town!
Dana was a great host! Nice location (walkable to many restaurants / Whole Foods) plus close to many transportation options.
Room was cozy, view as great as advertised.
Dana was kind and informative and very helpful during my stay while visiting the San Francisco Bay.

Marta was a perfect guest, my 2nd one from Canada, one right after the other. Marta said that it was easy getting around San Francisco on public transportation, something few San Francisco residents would agree with but is so much better than when I was living in Los Angeles. i enjoy having young people stay in my home and Marta would be more than welcome to stay here again in the future.
This is my second stay, and, once again, I loved it!! I stayed here for ~10 weeks for an internship, and this apartment is in the perfect spot to explore the city and easily commute to work using public transit. If I wasn't graduating next year, I know I'd be back to stay again next summer : )
This apartment is better than described and the pictures don’t do the views justice! The views from this perch are expansive. The apartment is very well organized and this maximizes the space. And the kitchen is well equipped. Dana is a fantastic host, quick to respond and helpful in his orienting you to the city.

John, thank you for such a lovely review. It is alway heartwarming when a guests recognizes the thought that goes into a VRBO rental. It was a pleasure having you as a guest and hope you will return sometime soon.
Perfect location for a single or couple. Private, comfortable, and a fantastic view of San Francisco from a rooftop apt in the Noe Valley District. Easy access to the downtown and North Sides of the city. And wonderful friendly hosts that attend to all needs. I stayed three weeks and loved it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here The view is spectacular, both during the day, and at night, when you get to see all the lights of the city below you. Dana was exceptional helpful, giving us numerous tips about the neighborhood, and public transportation. The studio space is very clean and well-equipped. We really enjoyed Noe Valley, which is a thriving and charming neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again!
It was such a pleasure meeting Dana and staying in the lovely sunroom. The place is just as described in the listing. What an amazing view! I loved watching the sunrise from the comfortable bed. Dana is super accommodating and a great communicator. The place is in a great location. We were provided with two sets of keys which was super helpful. We will definitely look to stay here again on our next visit.

Two delightful guys and would certainly have them as guests in the future.
The apartment is an absolutely fantastic location, with some of the best views that SF has to offer. Dana was very nice and communicative. 5/5, would certainly book again.
Beautiful space filled with light with spectacular views! Cozy home away from home in a great SF neighborhood. Dana is a wonderful host, responsive, kind and helpful! This was my 3rd or 4th stay in the sunroom. Love visiting my old neighborhood of Noe Valley. And bonus that Chloe’s is only a block away! Thank you, Dana!

Can’t say enough about the property and Dana our host. Beautiful rooftop room with spectacular views; clean, bright, and airy. Was so special to experience San Francisco as a ‘resident’. Thanks for a special week Dana.

Always fun to have people respond to my rooftop sunroom like this. Their son lives in San Francisco but he had to work most of the time they were here, but that didn't stop them from having a great time. Thanks for the wonderful Review.
each time I arrived to this rooftop aerie, whether day or nite I was newly amazed by the sky panoply, changing weather and graceful neighborhoods whether twinkling at night, bathing in Spring sunlight or appearing and disappearing in passing rain clouds or gentle foggy mists.

Excellent location and stay!
This was definitely one of the most best HomeAway and AirBNB experiences I have ever had. I stayed in the sunroom during the month of November and Dana could not have been more hospital or attentive during my stay. The location is an excellent location and is only a few blocks from the Mission, Dolores Park and the Castro - and exactly one block from the MUNI. The unit was very clean, comfortable and cosy with beautiful views to wake up to every single morning. I would recommend anyone considering staying in the sunroom to do so, you will not be disappointed and you will never want to leave.

A very delightful young man from the East Coast who was here for a month for work. It was a pleasure having him as a guest.
From when we landed and contacted Dana, the stay itself, and leaving this was a fantastic place.
Upon arrival Dana carried our bags up the stairs, and wouldn't take no for an answer, the room had everything we needed, the view was as pictured.
Dolores Heights in the Noe valley was the best choice we could of made.Would gladly go back there and give it and Dana the highest recommendation we can, our 11 night stay was fantastic, thankyou, from us in New Zealand. AAA+++
I stayed here for the month of January. It was a safe, sunlit, and perfect haven from winter darkness. The host was incredibly helpful, kind and available. He has a map and binder with lots of helpful information about the area, dining and the facilities. From the room, you can see Bernal Heights and Twin Peaks, which were so convenient to hike. The location is perfect, down 1 block from the MUNI J line, from which I could get everywhere I wanted. Noe Valley is so safe, and has so many great places to eat, shop, hang out, and I even took a yoga class a few blocks away. I highly recommend this beautiful place to all, and I thank Dana so much for sharing his cozy getaway with me! darkness.

I certainly enjoyed having this guest stay in my VRBO rental. She was delightful. She was here from Alaska to spend some time in warmer weather and enjoy the sunlight. Both of us being musicians, she plays the french horn, I was happy to recomend her to a music store where she ended up upgraded to a better horn. We had fun sharing her adventures in San Francisco. I would certainly recommend her to others as a guest in their VRBO rentals and would be happy to have her as a guest again.
The short version is, if you're debating, do it. This place is amazing. The view is like nothing else, the room is cozy and has everything you need, and the location is perfect. Seriously. Dana is an amazing host, it felt like we were staying with family more than just a host. He gaves us tips and even helped us carry bags to and from! We couldn't have asked for a better place.The stairs can be a bit intense if you're not prepared, but we had no problem with them. (Besides just us being a little out of shape. )The Muni stop is just a block away and you've also got an amazing brunch spot right on the corner. We would love to stay here again, anytime. Thanks Dana!
