Lovely home close to transit and neighborhood restaurants. It was perfect for my daughter and myself. The muni is easy to use to get to downtown without having to drive. Parking in the driveway was a definite plus, particularly considering the price to park in SF. Kitchen was well equipped. No dishwasher but not a problem for the two of us. Deb went above and beyond to make us welcome and assist with anything we needed. Across the street from an elementary school but that didn't bother us and it was very quiet in the evening and overnight. Would definitely stay again.

Perfectly located for a stay in the city. The neighborhood is lovely and steps away from great restaurants, shopping, and gourmet food stores. The train to downtown, beach, zoo is around the corner so you get the best of both worlds, a safe vibrant neighborhood to give you the feel of living in the city and access to all of the city has to offer. Parking at house is easy if you decide to have a car. Home is warm and inviting, beds are comfortable and kitchen is charming and perfectly appointed. Owner is welcoming, responsive when needed, and a wonderful host. Highly recommend a stay here.

Debra is an excellent host. She was appropriately communicative and available for anything we needed. Her home is clean, quiet, beautifully decorated, and comfortable - exactly what we needed. It is in a great part of the city plus right down the street from a muni stop so easy to get anywhere you want to go. I highly recommend Debra's home and would stay here again.

This was a perfect property for us to stay at while visiting San Francisco. The house was easy to find, on a quiet street, very comfortable beds, and has everything you need for your stay. The Muni stop at West portal is a short walk down the hill and takes you into downtown in 15 minutes. The town of West Portal is also a gem for those looking for a home base to explore the city or get away from the conference you’re attending downtown. We ate a different restaurant every night and they were all excellent. Our host Deb was amazing! Very communicative. Very helpful. I really appreciate everything you did for us. Thanks.

The location of this property was very close to all the wonderful locations in San Francisco, including the Golden Gate. We appreciated the beautiful neighborhood, great places to eat for all cuisines, and the clean and cozy homely home, that was well stocked and with all the right touches to make our family's visit with teens a very comfortable and enjoyable vacation to this sliver of the West Coast. The host was very communicative and very attentive to the needs of our family, going out of her way to assist. All in all, it was a wonderful stay over 5 nights for our family.

Fabulous Location

West Portal is a wonderful communitythe house is in a colorful 1920’s neighborhood with trees & plants. Loved hearing the children at the school across the street with lovely birds singing their songs. The bed was comfy & there were plenty of hangers & drawers to unpack. The towels were nice & the shower was great with a rainfall head. We easily took the train into the city several times with the station being minutes away. Deb is a great communicator & a lovely host

Exceptional Stay close to UCSF

Our stay at this VRBO was exceptional. The location couldn't have been more perfect, especially for us needing proximity to UCSF. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming, providing peace of mind throughout our stay. Of course, the comfortable beds and convenient parking were still standout features that enhanced our overall experience. But the added bonus of being within walking distance of charming shops and cafes truly made this VRBO a hidden gem. For anyone seeking a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and local charm, this VRBO is an absolute must. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would eagerly return on our next visit to the area."

Nice place to stay in SF!

Unfortunately I was in San Francisco for a surgery at UCSF. I was there for one night and my family stayed on for five days. The house is very comfortable and fully equipped. It's in a great neighborhood and it has parking which is a major plus! Debra was a wonderful host. And if you are going to UCSF for any reason, it's very convenient.
