Amazing location just steps from Ghirardelli Square, easy walk to Fisherman’s Wharf. Rooftop access for sunrise/sunset and Alcatraz views. Family-friendly with a kitchen, updated bathroom near the bedrooms, and lots of games and books to keep you entertained. Check-in and checkout were very easy and took no time. The host was great about responding to any questions quickly and was very accommodating. We would love to stay here again.

This home was in the BEST location! There was a roof-top deck with an amazing view of Alcatraz Island, where we spent a decent amount of time, when we were actually in the home. Most of our time was spent exploring everything San Francisco had to offer, and it was a wonderful girl's trip! We were across the street from Ghirardelli Square, and so many attractions were within walking distance! We hired a private driver to take us to Sonoma one day to visit a couple of wineries, and another day for a few hours to give us a tour of the city! We packed a lot into a 6 night stay, and all of us said we will visit again! Our host was very sweet, and had great communication!

Excellent condo, location and host!

We loved the location and the condo was perfect with a rooftop deck view that is unmatched! We’re an active family and really didn’t spend too much time at the condo but it’s a perfect place to stay with great location and proximity to everything we wanted to see and do.

Great Location!

This quirky house checked all the boxes for us. The only caution is that there is construction next door as well at Ghirardelli Square. If you are up early and out the door to see the sights, it is not an issue. I would stay here again.

Fantastic home and host

My family and I had a wonderful time in San Francisco, thanks to DeDe and her beautiful home. The location is excellent, close to tourist attractions but also relatively quiet, and the view across the water is absolutely incredible. The rooftop patio just can’t be beat! We had everything we needed and felt comfortable that we could reach out with questions at any time. Highly recommend this rental.

Artsy apartment close to chocolate!

This is a stylish apartment, an easy walk from the bay and across the street from the Ghirardelli chocolate experience! The host communicated very well and was most helpful getting us settled in. We could get everywhere in the city easily using rideshare and the quintessential cable car! We really enjoyed our visit and won’t hesitate to book again when we plan our next trip to SF.

Perfect Location!

My girlfriends and I were in San Francisco for a work convention, and Dede's property was perfect! Within walking distance to Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, a beautiful park, and much more. The rooftop deck was amazing! A gorgeous view of the Bay (with Alcatraz in the distance) made it the perfect place to enjoy the San Francisco weather and unwind. Dede is a phenomenal host - responds almost immediately to messages and overall very helpful. I highly recommend this property to either friends or families travelling to the San Francisco area.

Amazing location near Fisherman's Wharf

Myself, wife and daughter stayed at Dede's for four nights to see some shows during Sketchfest 2024. It's a wonderful condo with a rooftop deck right across from the Ghirardelli clock tower and what a view of the bay! Dede was so helpful and accommodating without being intrusive at all. It was a great trip and this was a perfect "base camp" where we started and planned our trips each day. So much to do within walking distance, but even with some rain over the weekend I have to mention Ubers arrive so fast in SF. This is a good one.

Spirited in San Francisco!

Love the city! Dede shared her beautiful home with us in a perfect location! The roof deck was amazing to see the city. It was fabulous and we enjoyed it at night as well. We walked everywhere. It was amazing to us country folks to get where we needed to go without a vehicle. If we wanted to go far we got an Uber. We did the Love Bus tour, Segway tour in Golden Gate Park, ate the most amazing pizza at Tony’s in little Italy, enjoyed Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf, walked down to Ghirardelli’s square and had sundaes at night! Thanks Dede!

A great place to stay!

What a pleasant and easy stay! We stayed five nights to visit San Francisco with our kids. The house has a second bedroom where each kid could use their own twin size bed. A bathroom downstairs and upstairs made getting ready easier. A Keurig with pods for morning coffee, and a roof deck to drink it while looking at the bay. Fully stocked kitchen, cozy living room, safe locked and well lit entrance.Dede was such an easy host to work with before, during and after our trip. Responses were very prompt and her instructions were detailed.Location is ideal next to Ghirardelli square, two blocks from the cable car turnaround. Plus an optional parking spot to use for a rental car only another couple of blocks. Highly recommend!

Location, location, location with breathtaking rooftop views!

We stayed here because it was a great location! It was walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard St, The Palace of Fine Arts and Ghirardelli’s Chocolates (great desserts!) among other sights. Close to a Trader Joe’s. Easy access to bus or trolleys. It had 2 bedrooms and could sleep 4 people. It had a large amount of space with a living room, dining room, kitchen & 2 bathrooms. The shared rooftop deck had killer views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge! The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill flew over the rooftop deck 2 days about 3:45pm each day. It’s worth hanging out on the deck to hopefully catch a glimpse of and hear them loudly squawk.It is walking distance to watch the Sea Lions at the pier. At the Transamerica Pyramid, there is a free exhibit The Vertical City, which displayed some models of the buildings designed by Lord Norman Foster, a world renowned architect. His company also designed the Millennium Tower in Tokyo and 30 St Mary Axe in London. Take a ride in a Waymo, a driverless car. Some tips about the place. The lower bathroom’s hot water is hot so only put it halfway between cold & warm to have a good shower. It has great water pressure.For the Keurig coffee maker, fill it with water, place a mug under it push the big button and wait as there is a slight delay before you gradually hear the water heating up and then it will start dispensing the coffee. Took us a bit to figure out.We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Dede Tisone

Host profile image
We thoroughly enjoy living in San Francisco. San Francisco is one of the world's most beautiful cities and this is the perfect location from which to explore it. We walk the neighborhoods, use public transportation, eat in fabulous restaurants and attend all of the many exciting events this city has to offer. We love making all this possible for people traveling to San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

We want to share this lovely space with people who would like to have a real San Francisco experience.

What makes this property unique

When you stay here, you will be just a cable car ride away from Union Square in San Francisco and a bike ride away from the Golden Gate Bridge. On Friday night, walk to Fort Mason where they circle the Food Trucks. Take a trolley to the Ferry Building to visit an amazing farmer's market on Saturday morning. Catch a cab on the corner to the best restaurants in the world. You will be a 15 minute drive to Sausalito and an hour away from Muir Woods or the Napa and Sonoma wine country. From the roof deck you will be able to see ships sailing by Alcatraz and Angel Islands. You can even take a swim in the chilly waters of the Bay or just enjoy the sandy beach of Aquatic Park just a block away.
