About this apartment rental

You’ll feel like royalty in this spacious two-bedroom, one and a half bath suite in a 1920’s mansion built to look like a castle. The elegant private entry and reception area opens to a large entertainment and lounge area featuring a pool table. The comfortable living area has breath taking views of San Francisco Bay, downtown and the Bay Bridge. Each of the large bedrooms offers views of the city and park right behind the residence.

Our home is nestled in a quiet and residential area, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring San Francisco’s vibrant neighborhoods. While slightly removed from the city’s hustle and bustle, the location is well-connected to desirable destinations through convenient public transit options:
• MUNI Metro Access: The nearby MUNI Metro T-Line provides a direct connection to downtown San Francisco, Oracle Park, and the bustling Mission District.
• Bus Connections: Several nearby bus lines, including the 44-O’Shaughnessy and 29-Sunset, make it easy to explore attractions like Golden Gate Park, the Sunset District, and even connect to the city’s famous cable cars.
• BART and Regional Transit: For longer journeys, MUNI connections to nearby BART stations offer regional transit options to the East Bay, Oakland, and SFO Airport.
• Ride-Sharing and Scooters: Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are readily available, and rentable e-scooters often populate the area for short trips to nearby transit hubs.
• Desirable Destinations: With public transportation, you can easily reach San Francisco hotspots like Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge without the hassle of parking or driving in the city.

Parking Advisory:
Parking in San Francisco can be a challenge, and our property does not offer on-site parking. For a stress-free experience, we highly recommend utilizing the city’s extensive public transportation system or ride-sharing services to explore.

The Midway Gallery, a polular arts and music venue is 1 mile away.

This neighborhood features some great restaurants like:
Old Skool Cafe, a youth run jazz themed restaurant
