Quiet , safe great location in San Fran

I came to have knee surgery at the Stone clinic. Which is crutching distance away. Easy no stairs. Great location to the water front, view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Grocer store close by. The host Laura was very accommodating. Plus the backyard garden and bbq was a bonus. I would definitely come again.

Tip top on everything!!!

We were so happy to spend four amazing days at Laura's flat! We lucked out on the weather, every day sunny. The flat is immaculate, And coffee on the patio every morning! Laura provided so much information on best restaurants, things to do, and very detailed instructions for the flat. The Marina is the next street, great walking and oh so beautiful. We'll definitely be back. Many thanks, Laura!

Beautiful City

This place is located in a nice neighborhood, close to everything. It's a very quiet, clean neighborhood. Parking like everywhere is San Francisco is hard to find. We did get a parking ticket one night for parking across the road. She said we could park at the marina during the day because you have to move your car by 10am everyday Monday thru Friday. We thought that meant we could park there anytime but apparently not. If you can't find a spot at night I would ask what you should do. The other nights we were able to find a spot in front of house. You can't see the Tv from the bed. If that's something you're use to doing. Also, the thermostat is a smart, motion activated one, set at 66. You can adjust but, when you go to sleep, it goes back to 66. We woke up cold every morning. Other than that we had a great stay, very nice. We would stay again. Linda was very nice and helpful.

Best yet

Laura was a wonderful host. The studio met all our needs. The patio was incredible. The location was amazing. Couldn’t ask for more. Only issue was riding bicycles over the Golden Gate Bridge when it was very windy. Not recommended

We came in to San Fran to see a concert and get away from normal life. This studio was perfect! There was plenty of room and the court yard was perfect. Laura was wonderful and so helpful! The bed was surprisingly comfortable! The neighborhood was so quite. We had a great time and most definitely will be back. Thank you Laura

Amazing location, exceptional host!

My husband and I loved our stay at this property! Laura was an exceptional host who was very communicative and gave us a tour of the property when we checked in. She kept in touch during our stay and even went above and beyond by offering us her parking spot at one point if we had trouble finding our own. The rental has a large, open-floor plan with a gorgeous patio out back that was perfect for drinking coffee in the mornings. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. There is a Safeway conveniently located a couple of blocks away and the marina is close by as well. We had all the amenities we needed and were able to walk or scooter to some of our favorite places. I highly recommend this property and plan on staying here again in the future.

Wonderful space

This studio is lovely. Kitchen is equipped nicely. We made coffee and breakfast while we were here. Ample sitting and work area. Backyard patio is stellar! Only note is the bed is a Murphy bed tucked into a corner and if you have two people the person sleeping next to the wall has no night table and has to climb around to get out of bed.

Beautiful Retreat in Perfect Location

Spent a wonderful weekend at Laura's place. The apartment was very comfortable. We loved the back patio, beautiful! The location was perfect, we walked everywhere and didn't have to get in our car until it was time to go home. There are many restaurants to choose from just a short walk away. The harbor and Fort Mason are also a short walk. Aquatic Park and Ghiradelli Square are a bit longer of a walk but still close. We highly recommend Laura's place!

Loved the Marina District Location!

Laura is a warm, gracious host of this conveniently located yet quiet and peaceful property. The proximity to restaurants, the waterfront, Fort Mason, Chestnut Street, Safeway, the Palace of the Arts (be sure to check it out at night!), and many SF attractions is ideal for us. I especially appreciated that the studio is on the first floor with no need to go up and down stairs. The lovely, backyard garden is a pleasure to return to after long days of sightseeing. Thanks, Laura, for a great stay.

About the host

Your host

I am a long time SF resident and love my international city and helping others discover its beauty and nooks and crannies. This is highly desirable and quiet neighborhood and one of the few areas where you really don't need a car and everyone is safe strolling at all times.

Why they chose this property

I love walking by the waterfront for sunsets, looking for seals that bob around the bay and never tire of looking at the GG bridge. This is my favorite neighborhood with gorgeous views that everyone thinks of when they see pictures of San Francisco. Neighborhood has a fun vibe with lots of fabulous restaurants, wine bars and shops.

What makes this property unique

Unique with flowering private patio setting with a nice BBQ. Beautiful architecture, quiet neighborhood with postcard-like vistas everywhere you look. First floor (so no stairs to climb either). Walking distance to main attractions or San Francisco.
