San Francisco magic
We had the most incredible experience staying with Dede. She was a very gracious and helpful host, even being super kind and understanding when our son accidentally knocked a framed picture off her wall. The house is incredibly well situated and set up with everything you could possibly need. The rooftop deck was amazing, with views of Alcatraz and Ghirardelli Square. Our children had ice creams at least once per day. Thanks so much Dede - we will definitely stay here again when we return to San Francisco.

Works for a family of 5
Such a lovely clean home and the owner Dede very helpful and prompt in answering questions, even with the 15hr time difference between Western Australia and San Francisco. We were a family of 5 (3 kids 17, 15, 14 - bbg) and we had ample room in this rental that is walking distance to Fishermans Wharf, and a solid 20 mins to Alcatraz departure wharf. The only downside we had was the shocking weather - so much rain ! This just means we'll have to come back sometime in the future. There is parking should you want it onsite and although we didn't get to use the roof terrace Dede did show us the spectacular view on our first night of arriving. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and I slept like a log. Would love to use this rental in the summer months where you would get the full use of this lovely home

Wonderful Location
This property is located in the heart of numerous tourist destinations. It was enjoyable staying in an authentic San Francisco home while still being within walking distance or a short drive from everything we wanted to see and do. It is well-kept and met all our needs! Highly recommended.

Location, location, location with breathtaking rooftop views!
We stayed here because it was a great location! It was walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard St, The Palace of Fine Arts and Ghirardelli’s Chocolates (great desserts!) among other sights. Close to a Trader Joe’s. Easy access to bus or trolleys. It had 2 bedrooms and could sleep 4 people. It had a large amount of space with a living room, dining room, kitchen & 2 bathrooms. The shared rooftop deck had killer views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge! The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill flew over the rooftop deck 2 days about 3:45pm each day. It’s worth hanging out on the deck to hopefully catch a glimpse of and hear them loudly squawk.It is walking distance to watch the Sea Lions at the pier. At the Transamerica Pyramid, there is a free exhibit The Vertical City, which displayed some models of the buildings designed by Lord Norman Foster, a world renowned architect. His company also designed the Millennium Tower in Tokyo and 30 St Mary Axe in London. Take a ride in a Waymo, a driverless car. Some tips about the place. The lower bathroom’s hot water is hot so only put it halfway between cold & warm to have a good shower. It has great water pressure.For the Keurig coffee maker, fill it with water, place a mug under it push the big button and wait as there is a slight delay before you gradually hear the water heating up and then it will start dispensing the coffee. Took us a bit to figure out.We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again!

Best place in SF
What can I say, what a beautiful location, the townhouse was beautiful and so well cleaned and ready for us. Working with the owner was such a delightful experience. She was so easy to get a hold of and even waited for us to arrive. If you have a choice don’t hesitate to choose this location. So well worth the cost definitely staying here again.

We had a wonderful stay in Dede’s house. The house is really nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, the rooftop patio, and you just can’t beat the location! Dede was a great host. She communicated timely and clearly, met us at the house when we arrived, and gave us a personal tour of her home. I would highly recommend this house.

Great Location, Nice place, but Noisy.
We had a nice stay here. The host was great. Very responsive. What bothered us though was the noise. There is construction going on next door. A large apartment complex is being built and the workers work from about 7am until 5pm and on Saturday. I wish this was disclosed in the description. Also the Ghirardelli tower is being renovated so it is cloaked and scaffolded. The view doesn't quite match the photo. Obviously the host is not responsible for this, but again, it would have been nice to have it disclosed. Location is great, but street noise is substantial It is a city after all, however I am a former San Francisco resident and some streets are noisier than others. On Friday night a motorcycle cavalcade of about 20 motorcyclists decided to pull up and linger and rev their engines for about 30 minutes. This was really disruptive to our rest. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again for these reasons.

Perfect Location
This was a wonderful place. It was a very clean, up to date condo with more amenities than you’ll need. The rooftop was a great addition! Our family visited on a very busy weekend but the location made it so convenient (food and entertainment) that we never moved our car the entire time. Communication with the owner exceed our expectations. She was wonderfully helpful and completely accessible for any questions or concerns. We will definitely visit again!

This quirky house checked all the boxes for us. The only caution is that there is construction next door as well at Ghirardelli Square. If you are up early and out the door to see the sights, it is not an issue. I would stay here again.

Best location in SF!
We stayed for 4 nights in this San Fran gem to be centrally located for our vacation and tour of the city. It worked out perfectly well. Such a great street, close to Fisherman’s Wharf and all the cool spots. Ghirardelli was a block away, as was the Buena Vista - two of our favorites. The beds were comfy, and the furnishings were all good. Tight on the spiral staircase but no issue for us or our kids (ages 11-14). Easy in and out at check in with the lockbox. Dede was in constant communication to be sure everything was all set.

Perfect spot for a family to see the city! Lots of options around locally and simple trips via bus, train, cable car, or Uber/Lyft. Owner was incredibly resourceful and her place shows her attention to detail. My family and I felt incredibly comfortable and safe a 1/2 block from Fisherman's Wharf. Don't hesitate and read the visitor's book. We gained a lot out of the previous visitors and left a nice list for your stay too. Enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Dede Tisone

Host profile image
We thoroughly enjoy living in San Francisco. San Francisco is one of the world's most beautiful cities and this is the perfect location from which to explore it. We walk the neighborhoods, use public transportation, eat in fabulous restaurants and attend all of the many exciting events this city has to offer. We love making all this possible for people traveling to San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

We want to share this lovely space with people who would like to have a real San Francisco experience.

What makes this property unique

When you stay here, you will be just a cable car ride away from Union Square in San Francisco and a bike ride away from the Golden Gate Bridge. On Friday night, walk to Fort Mason where they circle the Food Trucks. Take a trolley to the Ferry Building to visit an amazing farmer's market on Saturday morning. Catch a cab on the corner to the best restaurants in the world. You will be a 15 minute drive to Sausalito and an hour away from Muir Woods or the Napa and Sonoma wine country. From the roof deck you will be able to see ships sailing by Alcatraz and Angel Islands. You can even take a swim in the chilly waters of the Bay or just enjoy the sandy beach of Aquatic Park just a block away.
