Gorgeous antiques and a classic gas fireplace pulls you back into SF history. A shelf of SF books including several by Herb Caen (SF Chronicle "City beat" columnist; I read "Baghdad by the Bay" cover to cover during our stay).
From the deck, sweeping views from Salesforce Tower past the Bay Bridge.
Portrero Hill is a quiet neighborhood where we met people walking their dogs. They knew the Purple House and its history (very musical owners).
We wanted to be near my oldest son's house and wound up getting a taste of San Francisco new and old.
We'd planned some family meals (6 of us) at the "Purple House." But found the oven is dying, the dishwasher is detached (physically not emotionally) and there are only 5 place settings. I suspect most AirBNBers just use their kitchens to make coffee in the morning. So...
When we did communicate with Carlos he was quite helpful and hospitable.
We liked the Purple House. Would you?
