15th-Floor Luxury With Views of Downtown and The Bay

See the Salesforce Tower lit up at night from the floor-to-ceiling windows of this immaculately appointed property, which comes with a large walk-in closet plus rain shower. Music lovers will appreciate the acoustic guitar and electric keyboard. Please note that this residence does have belongings in the closet. Ample room has been reserved for guests. Modern luxury apartment with amazing views, especially at night overlooking some of SF's iconic locations such as AT&T Park, the Salesforce Tower, and the San Francisco Bay. Inside the apartment, you have a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, queen sized bed with a down comforter, a large walk-in shower with rain shower head, and living room with a big screen TV to access Netflix/Hulu or Chromecast. The entire apartment is open for guests to use, but keep in mind there will be clothes hanging in the closet and some personal items as this is my home and not a full-time airbnb. Most of the time I will still be in the city and will be available if you need anything or have any questions about the area/apartment. Step just a block to reach the famous Market Street, while within 5 minutes is Hayes Valley, filled with hip shops, cafes, and bars. A longer stroll or 5-minute MUNI ride will reach the iconic ferry building for water-borne trips to Sausalito. 5-minute walk to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium 20-minute walk, a 5-minute drive, or 12-minute MUNI to Moscone Center 10-minute MUNI to Salesforce Tower Located within one block is BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) which is the underground train and MUNI which is comprised of an above-ground rail system and busses. You are also able to have Uber/Lyft pick up right outside the building. However, please be sure to double check with the driver that they are dropping you off on 9th street and not the back alley (Laskie). Sometimes GPS will put a pin on Laskie street instead of 9th. There are multiple parking garages around the building and one in the building that is $30 a day and subject to availability. The city, especially SoMa is very bikeable if you were to rent bikes and explore around Market street.

Relaxed Apartment with a Patio in The Castro

Brew a cup of coffee in a cozy kitchen with elegant tiling and find a seat on a decked patio wrapped in a leafy garden. Curl up with a book on a modern sofa in a living area boasting colorful paintings, a stocked bookcase, and exposed wood beams. The unit is a private apartment below the main house with a private entrance. There is one bedroom and a pull out queen sofa. There is room for approx four people (2 per bed) and one bathroom. The summer kitchen features a brand new quartz counter top, beautiful spanish tile backsplash, drink refrigerator with freezer, microwave, toaster oven (for light heating), and a full set of dishes and glass ware for pizza night at home. There is closet and shelf space for your extra goods and an iron with an ironing board. It's so close to the action it's not even funny! :-) Guests are invited to use the private patio space just outside of the guest unit. We live right upstairs so fully available to all guests during their stay and only a quick text away. The apartment occupies the remodeled lower level of a house in the historic Castro neighborhood. A vibrant nightlife and dining scene is steps away. Head to the iconic Castro Theatre to see a film or take a scenic stroll to Mission Dolores Park. The Muni is a 7 minute walk that takes you to the BART transport to the airport and downtown and financial district. Several buses that run through this area to the rest of the city. Busy area in terms of Lyft/Uber/cabs. Parking can be a bit tough at times, but we never have too much trouble finding a space a block or less from the house. The neighborhood does however, require a parking permit per day. Unfortunately, I have a limited number of passes and will not be able to offer these with the unit. Please be mindful that tickets may be given, but they are generally more sticklers about street cleaning that daily parking permits. I am currently trying to locate nightly parking facilities nearby. If you can manage here without a car, that would be best.
