Accessibility

Neighborhood

THE NEIGHBORHOOD Outdoor enthusiasts, indoor bookworms, and foodies rejoice! Bernal Heights’ accessibility extends far beyond its practical commuter conveniences. Warm and inviting, Bernal Heights’ bright Victorian homes, organic markets, and gay and inclusive bars and cafes enhance its welcoming atmosphere. Nestled between the peaks of San Francisco’s rolling hills, this casual and approachable neighborhood is a charming residential respite in the City by the Bay. Bernal Height was voted the hottest neighborhood in America recently. Here’s what folks are saying: “Bernal Heights has “It”. It has the small town feel while still being in San Francisco. You can feel as though you’re separated from the craziness of the city when you get home, yet are so close if you desire a night on the town.” There are so many restaurants (too many to count), coffee shops, and cool places to go within walking distance of the house. It’s also within waling distance of our major public transportation (BART & MUNI) and near one of the most amazing spots in the entire city-Bernal Hill. We LOVE our neighborhood. And know you will too. And we are near the dynamic and Historic Mission district and the very hip and happening Valencia Corridor.

Guest Access

You have private access to the entire 2nd-floor apartment, featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Enjoy a private roof deck with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the city.

I was delighted by this home and extended my stay to give myself more time to enjoy it. I’ve stayed in nearly eighty vacation rentals over the past fifteen years, and this is among the very best. Property condition, charm, decor, comfort, are all top-notch, and the hosts are very responsive and kind. Highly recommended.

I adore this house and we had such a wonderful stay! The views are incredible, the apartment is comfortable and well appointed, and the history of the house/neighborhood is fascinating (I definitely read the book about the history of the Bernal Heights neighborhood that the hosts keep in the apartment). I’d highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic San Francisco stay!
