Literally a stairway to heaven, 36 formidable steps end in a doorway that opens into light, marble, mesmerizing views of San Fransisco, a river of fog flowing over hills to the south, symphonies of wind, rustling leaves, and birds...and rooftops and eccentric yard scapes that can make one feel like Henry Fonda reincarnated in Rear Window. Located on a quiet street, descent down the Half Dome stairs exits into a walking paradise of small shops, restaurants, bakeries, distinct neighborhoods and sub-cultures, all illustrated with architecturally unique expressions of home and street. If you’re still reading this review without locking down your reservation first, you’re making a mistake.
