Pvt Lux Boutique Suite with Lush Patio: Historic San Francisco - 99 Walk Score
Enjoy our unique, secluded, open-plan garden-level retreat in Upper Nob Hill. In San Francisco, garden apartments can have a portion carved into a sloping hillside, while the rest is level. (See photos & diagram)
This spacious boutique suite blends rustic gold-rush charm with modern San Francisco touches; high ceilings, redwood beams, leather, gold, concrete, art & antiques, a carved king-sized bed, rain shower, kitchenette, under-floor heating, HVAC, wifi, an elliptical, basic weights, books, 65" TV, Netflix, Prime, and a private garden sanctuary—offering nomads a whole 980 sq ft floor with a private entrance, in the heart of historic SF.
Walk everywhere with a 99 Walk Score.
Our three-story Edwardian/Belle Époque building was built 115 years ago, two years after the great San Francisco earthquake. Over the years, we have carefully preserved its many architectural charms, including this lower, garden-level sanctuary—a feature unique to many heritage homes built on slopes in hilly San Francisco (See diagram for gradient)
Echoing the cultural spirit of California, Mexico, China, Japan, and India, and 19th-century Victorian affluence, we've layered the space richly with textures and finishes reminiscent of San Francisco's boomtown heydays, both past and present.
A warm leather sectional anchors the living area, set against original exposed wood and concrete surfaces that hint at the city's rugged past. Period oil portraits of the original owners, antiques, and sculptures lend the space the feel of a curated museum suite. Relax in this plush space with a massive smart TV, fine art, and warm lighting.
The adjacent area showcases a striking glass-top dining table by Paul Evans, B&B Italia chairs, and a commanding black armoire—a nod to contemporary SF style and Victorian opulence. Next to that is a low-profile, king-sized bed with a massive, hand-carved headboard that accommodates two. Each design element is hand-selected to honor San Francisco's golden legacy.
We can set up an additional plush aerobed in the living room to accommodate two more adults, and a child can sleep comfortably on the sofa.
Our large European-style wet bathroom is a private wellness spa. Step into floor-to-ceiling marble-finish tiles, underfloor heating, a shower equipped with a luxury multi-jet water system, a rain shower, and sleek matte black fixtures—designed to refresh and restore after a day exploring the city's iconic hills.
Retreat into your private zen patio garden at the end of the day to savor a glass of California wine, under festive, twinkling lights.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe. Housekeeping is available on request.

Wonderful eclectic garden apartment, in a house on a hill. As you step down into the apartment, you are met with a beautiful, large open space and it is filled with unique furniture. The soft furnishings are sumptuous and there is so much to look at around the apartment. Every little detail has been thought about. The garden feels like its very own oasis. There are beautiful plants with nice seats and lighting. This is a very unique stay, in a great neighborhood. This really made our stay feel so special to be in a unique, private and central spot like this instead of the usual hotel/apartment. It made us feel very special. San Francisco is so charming and filled with endless things to see and experience. We never realised that San Francisco had parrots and the wallpaper was so playful and thoughtful. The host and her so were also very welcoming.

Just wow - my stay at this property for my birthday was amazing from the minute I arrived.The location is great with amazing views. The flat included welcoming background music that switched on automatically as you enter the property, tasteful decor throughout, gentle insense and a truly home from home experience. The attention to detail in the layout and the soft furnishings was delightful.The bed was huge and had lovely sheets and bedding that appeared to wrap around you and leave you feeling snug and warm.The bathroom is an excellent size with a range of shower options.The kitchen is equipped with everything you need including an array of herbs, spices and oils.The garden was an added bonus.I have stayed in many a property across the world but the standard of this was second to none.Finally, the host Vinnie was really helpful and assisted me no end in planning trips around the City and further a field.I would not hestitate to recommend this place and hope to return to San Francisco and this property very soon. Thank you for being such an amazing host.

Bizarre property possibly inspired by a whacky interior designer. Quiet location on steep hill, high ceiling.Non-matching furniture from 1900 from estate sales mixed with Indian statues. When I rent a place I should be mine, not cluttered by high stacks of books or a wine cellar. This is actually a very long, narrow basement with uneven concrete floor, only partially heated around the bed. Large bath with wall-and ceiling mounted sprays, drains improperly, no enclosure. Water will reach even the toilet due to a wrongly slanted tile ledge.Kitchette almost unusable: small, cannot hold two people,weak Microwave needs 3 min for 1 glass water,counter totally cluttered by dirty plastic coffee maker plastic water heater.To cook anything you need to put a convection plate on the counter. We could not even boil eggs.Bed surrounded by 2x8 boards, difficult to enter. Thin sheets stained by body cream. All towels old hand-me-downs. For that price of almost 400/night ??The co-called gym is one elliptical.Did anyone from VRBO ever inspect that property before listing ?

Beautiful home & great location!
The space was clean, comfortable, and spacious, perfect for our needs. As expected in any major city, there was some occasional street noise which would have been the case anywhere (even high rise hotels). The decor had an artistic, gallery-like atmosphere. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond by offering great restaurant recommendations. Check-in and check-out were both seamless and effortless.
