Rented this for some family visiting San Francisco for the first time. We absolutely loved it! The location could not be better and it is a classic San Francisco house. Lots of steps to the apartment, but the reward is a spectacular view of the Bay and Alcatraz Island. It is within walking distance of all the major attractions and so close that in between jaunts we would go back and relax on the amazing deck before heading out again. The wild parrots of Telegraph Hill (check out a movie about them that the owner leaves for you) visit a couple times a day as do other beautiful birds. Rob and Laurie were kind, accommodating, and available whenever we communicated with them. A great alternative to the hotels and motels in the area if you want character, charm, and room to relax.
