Our family stayed in Peggy’s house while visiting our older daughter who lives near by. The house is even better than the wonderful photos. It is exquisitely decorated with original art from all over the world, enjoys breath-taking views of Noe Valley and the SF Bay, and has a beautiful deck and garden. Peggy keeps her house very clean and well stocked for visitors. She could not be more friendly or gracious. Peggy met us at arrival and gave us a tour of the house, showing us how to use the TV, and all of the kitchen devices, and how to naturally cool the house with the winds off of Twin Peaks. A retired educator, the instructions she left for us were clear, detailed and very helpful. Touring the SFMOMA was high on our list and Peggy tipped us off ahead of our arrival to get tickets, as it was drawing sell-out crowds.

The house is within an easy walk of the shops, eateries, and a full service grocery market on 24th Street. This house is not available often but if you are coming to San Francisco when it just happens to be, it is difficult to believe you could find a nicer host or a more more beautiful house. The only word of caution is that house is located near the crest of a steep hill. We walked almost everywhere—Twin Peaks, Mission District, to the BART station--from the house and it wasn’t a problem for us but it might be for some travelers.
