Read More...We so enjoyed our stay in the beautiful and charming house of Bruce and Christopher atop of one of the steepest hills of San Francisco. We were made to feel very welcome and informed. We enjoyed to cook in the nice kitchen, eat outside in the beautiful, flowering garden with a view over downtown and to get to know both the very charming neigborhood and wonderful San Fransisco itself. We walked and walked all over the city and had so many great expericences. A wonderful vacation! Thank you very much, Bruce and Chistopher Kind regards, Asta and Lena

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house sits atop a quiet, residential hill with very little car traffic. Located in the center of the city, with great public transportation nearby, our tree-lined neighborhood consists mostly of single family homes with very few apartment buildings. We are within a ten-minute walk of three terrific commercial neighborhoods filled with shops, cafes and restaurants: Noe Valley, the Castro, and the Mission. Each has its own distinct atmosphere. Noe Valley feels like a small village; the Castro attracts larger crowds, in part because of its historic movie theater; and the Mission, with its trendy boutique businesses and inexpensive ethnic dining, is the epicenter of youthful energy in San Francisco.
