We (my significant other and myself) stayed at Chris's luxury home that is in hills overlooking Berkeley, CA when we traveled to San Francisco to visit for my significant other's birthday. Chris's place is beautiful and has available free street side parking, so it was more convenient for us as a romantic getaway than staying in busy downtown San Francisco with no or little parking options. It took us 20-30 mins to get to San Francisco and we stocked up the refrigerator at Chris's place by going to UC-Berkeley Trader Joe's, which is less than 5 mins away. The view from the bedroom off the Bay Bridge and Oakland-Berkeley Valley was awesome too. I highly recommend staying a Chris's place for a couple looking for a romantic getaway to visit the metro-San Francisco area.
