About this house rental
Permit/Tax I.D. - STR-0001508
Our property was built in 1914 with bricks salvaged from the 1906 Earthquake. Robert Hutchinson purchased the building in 1960. Mr. Hutchinson lived in the building for almost 50 years until his passing in 2008. Mr. Hutchinson was a prominent San Francisco designer whose work was featured in Architectural Digest. He lived upstairs and had his design studio downstairs. Mr. Hutchinson used the private and public spaces in the building to experiment with architectural and design concepts. The walls of the loft have been lacquered red, flat black, and adobe.
Many of Mr. Hutchinson's most dynamic pieces remain in the home, such as the burl redwood dining table (1978), the petrified wood table, (1981). The facade was also created by Mr. Hutchinson in 1977 and is unique to San Francisco. He believed in working carefully with craftsmen to create interiors that were conceptual and stupendous.
The entire building underwent a complete renovation/remodel/earthquake retrofit, from the basement to roof in 2009. The loft has a private entrance on Sutter Street and a private garage entrance behind the building. (There are 24 steps to reach the loft from Sutter and 13 steps from the garage.)
As you enter the loft from Sutter there is the great room, which is comprised of a spacious living /dining area. The guest bedroom/bathroom is located in the front of the house as well. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and is fit for a chef.
The main bedroom suite is located in the back of the loft and overlooks the roof garden. Many elements in the suite were designed by Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Hutchinson designed the fireplace, the couches, the cantilevered shelves, and the vanity in the bathroom.
Off the bedroom is a breezeway with a door to a private 1,000 square ft. deck. The deck is a true urban oasis, overflowing with bamboo and orchids. There is a teak outdoor table for six and several seating areas.
There are hardwood floors throughout, exposed brick walls, and massive steel columns. The loft is 2000 square feet has a private 1,000 square foot deck. Of course, there's great wifi and a washer/dryer. There is a private garage, entered on Fern Street, that is included with your reservation.
Walking is the only way to explore a new city. The loft is centrally located in Lower Nob Hill, with easy walking distance to Russian Hill, Union Square, Ghirardelli Square, Chinatown, Pacific Heights, and Civic Center. Amazing restaurants, shops, and high-end groceries are close by as well. The California Street Cable Car is only three blocks away. The California Cable Car takes you to Grace Catherdral, Chinatown, downtown with a final stop at the Ferry Building.
Although the loft is in the center of town it is peaceful and private. The loft has a relaxed San Francisco-New York loft aesthetic. Glorious bay breezes preclude the need for air conditioning. We have been listed on VRBO for over a decade and our reviews are outstanding. My partner Steve or I will show you around the place upon your arrival.
We hope to see you soon.
Cheers,
Rob & Steve

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Great hosts and great location. Apartment is amazing. Location is great, hosts were very responsive. Comfortable bed, unique features like the rooftop patioMy only minor concerns were you need to be weary of where you walk outside the apartment as you will find yourself in the edge of the Tenderloin which is not a good area. I would have liked some plugs by bed to plug phones in and if you keep the windows open at night and are a light sleeper it can get loud at night with music in the alley and lots of yelling and noise even police megaphones one night. Windows closed it’s fairly quiet. My biggest complaint was only one small TV in master that is difficult to watch and there were some major sporting events we wanted to watch or unwind and watch a movie at night which we could not do comfortably. A tv is really needed in the living area.and/or in front of the bedAlso Garage is nice to have but small for large vehicles (we were in a cybertruck which fit but barely and was a challenge parking)Overall a nice place at a fair price and we enjoyed our stay

The place was very unique, beautiful art pieces and pictures. We had everything we needed there, dishes, coffee, towels, wash machines, dishwasher, etc. Beds were VERY comfortable. Owners were very attentive and friendly. There was a 24 step entrance going up to the loft. We are older and it was a bit hard for us as we went in and out a lot. The way the furniture is placed you cannot watch TV in bed. Those are the only 2 things that were not favorable. We realize nothing is perfect and we totally recommend staying here and would go back ourselves should we choose to visit San Francisco again!

This place is absolutely amazing. We can't wait to go back and stay here again. We could not have found a better place to stay in the area for sure! Steve was amazing and very responsive with answering our questions before the trip and while we were there. It was a great location and very central to many excellent restaurants. It was so hard to choose where to eat there were so many fabulous places. We used ride shares or walked everywhere even though we had a car with us because it was so convenient. We even tried a Waymo the last night!! I recommend everyone try it at least once.

Lovely, beautifully artistic apartment. My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Well appointed. And, having a secure garage space in the city was a very welcome addition!
