Good to know

From the top floor of one of Bernal Heights' oldest Victorian residences, San Francisco reveals itself differently. On clear winter mornings, city light cuts clean through original-pane glass, and as evening settles, the Bay Bridge catches the last of the day's glow from your private patio. This home has been cared for by the same family for generations and features in San Francisco tour books for its architecture - every room carries the kind of calm, layered character that takes decades to accumulate. About this home The apartment occupies the entire second floor and has its own private entrance, diamond-pitched ceilings, and spaces filled with original artwork, Mid-Century Modern pieces, antiques, and vintage furnishings. Central heating and portable heaters keep things comfortable through San Francisco's reliably cool stretches. It's a genuinely distinct place to stay. Sleeping arrangements Two bedrooms sleep up to four guests. The first features a Queen bed and a uniquely shaped walk-in closet; the second has a Full bed with additional nearby storage. Both rooms are made up with 100% bamboo bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets. Kitchen & dining The kitchen is set up for everything from a slow morning coffee to a full home-cooked meal. You'll find a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, toaster, baking sheet, and a Keurig coffee machine, along with a hot water kettle, cooking basics, dishes and silverware, and wine glasses. The dining table works just as well as a place to gather over a meal as it does a quiet spot to work from. Bathroom The bathroom includes a bathtub, hair dryer, and hot water, along with Public Goods shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. Outdoor living Step outside to a private patio or balcony with city and Bay Bridge views - a natural pause point at any hour. A fully fenced backyard with garden areas and outdoor furniture extends your outdoor space further, offering a slower pace that sits in easy contrast to the city beyond. In winter, the low-angled light across the garden makes it a particularly calm spot to start or end the day. Entertainment & extras An HDTV with Roku, a BOSE Bluetooth sound system, books and reading material, and a yoga mat keep evenings in comfortable. A dedicated workspace is available in a common area with a surge protector. Free street parking is available nearby. Location Bernal Heights strikes a balance - residential and unhurried, yet close to everything San Francisco offers. Local cafes, markets, and parks are an easy walk from the door. The Mission District and Valencia Corridor are a short trip away, and Bernal Hill is nearby for one of the city's best open viewpoints. Public transportation is accessible in the area. Good to know Self check-in via lockbox. The apartment is equipped with a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit. Hangers, iron, and clothing storage including a walk-in closet, standard closet, and dresser are provided.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

THE NEIGHBORHOOD Outdoor enthusiasts, indoor bookworms, and foodies rejoice! Bernal Heights’ accessibility extends far beyond its practical commuter conveniences. Warm and inviting, Bernal Heights’ bright Victorian homes, organic markets, and gay and inclusive bars and cafes enhance its welcoming atmosphere. Nestled between the peaks of San Francisco’s rolling hills, this casual and approachable neighborhood is a charming residential respite in the City by the Bay. Bernal Height was voted the hottest neighborhood in America recently. Here’s what folks are saying: “Bernal Heights has “It”. It has the small town feel while still being in San Francisco. You can feel as though you’re separated from the craziness of the city when you get home, yet are so close if you desire a night on the town.” There are so many restaurants (too many to count), coffee shops, and cool places to go within walking distance of the house. It’s also within waling distance of our major public transportation (BART & MUNI) and near one of the most amazing spots in the entire city-Bernal Hill. We LOVE our neighborhood. And know you will too. And we are near the dynamic and Historic Mission district and the very hip and happening Valencia Corridor.

Guest Access

You have private access to the entire 2nd-floor apartment, featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Enjoy a private roof deck with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the city.
