This house has style. It's everywhere. This is not a house decorated from a catalogue, more of a collection that has been lovingly built over time. This means that some things aren't the latest technology, but chosen because it's interesting, befitting of the period of the house or just charming.
The location, on Liberty Hill, affords a fantastic view over the city which is as beautiful during the day as it is at night-time. One block away is a park and shops/restaurants are a couple more blocks away. The walk back up the steep hill might mean more calories will be consumed returning than gained by a meal. The hill climb can be avoided by catching the MUNI which can take you from the bottom of the hill and drop you, more or less, outside the front door.
The property comes with a great instruction manual, which covers off all main areas. The hosts were in the basement apartment for some of the time, but although we conversed by email, we did not meet them.
The house was 'shabby-chic' but clean and easy to keep that way. The two outside decks looked great for warm evenings and, although the MUNI trams went directly past the back, because they were electric and stopped in the evening, were barely noticeable.
The downside was the front bedroom. My daughter slept in there and complained that the curtains didn't stop the room being too bright to sleep from 5:00am. She also found it cold; sleeping in a hoodie with an eye mask on fixed it. However, she could have been suffering from an eleven hour flight and an eight hour time difference.
So.......would we rent again? Yes. This is a great pied-a-tere for San Francisco and provided excellent accommodation for my wife and I plus our two teenage girls.
