Stylish, Architect-Designed House w/Panoramic Views of Downtown San Francisco
This stylish, 3-story, architect-designed house is my private home when I'm not traveling. It sits high on Potrero Hill, the warmest and sunniest neighborhood in San Francisco, just a few minutes from downtown, Union Square and Moscone Center. There are sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline from almost every room. The large, open living room has a dramatic marble fireplace, an award-winning staircase, antique Japanese furniture, original art and sculpture, a Steinway grand piano, and a soaring cathedral ceiling with sunlight streaming through the two double French doors, and a huge skylight. There is a guest computer as well as wireless Internet access throughout the house. The master bedroom, occupying the entire third floor, has a large Japanese-style bath, a wall of glass framing a magnificent view of San Francisco, and a private redwood deck. In my humble opinion, you will be hard pressed to find any other rental property in San Francisco as unique and wonderful as my house.

Not Just a Place to Sleep...
A real estate professional who stayed in my house for 2 weeks wrote, 'I have rented many houses in various locations throughout the years. Bill's house was the best ever.' Other guests have said 'it is like staying in a miniature museum', 'an architectural gem!', 'one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen', 'incredibly peaceful, a wonderful place to relax'. In short, my house is more than just a place to store your suitcase while you are visiting San Francisco. It will be part of the experience itself. So why stay in a pricey San Francisco hotel when my house offers twice as much for half the price? You will be dealing directly with the owner, not an agent or property manager. This is one of the best accommodation values in San Francisco! When you compare my rates with a hotel, remember to add both the 14% San Francisco hotel tax and the 8.5% sales tax to the rate quoted by the hotel. Many San Francisco visitors are shocked by their final bill. My rates include all taxes.
Discover...
If someone in your family plays the piano, there is a Steinway grand in the living room. If you are a history buff or armchair explorer, I have one of California's finest private collections of books on Alaska and Russian America. If you are more into literature, I have an extensive collection of books by and about Mark Twain. If you appreciate art, my walls are covered with original works by contemporary artists, none of whom are particularly famous (yet), but all of whom are extremely talented and most, I am proud to say, are also personal friends of mine. Scattered throughout the house you will discover Eskimo and Native American art and artifacts, sculpture, antique Japanese tansu chests, Persian carpets, a high-end music system, and many other treats. I have a personal website for my house with lots more photos and information and will be happy to share the link with you when you send me an inquiry.
Experience...
Potrero Hill enjoys the sunniest and warmest weather in San Francisco, and its safe, quiet, upscale neighborhood is a delight. Several of San Francisco's best restaurants are within walking distance, including French, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Middle Eastern, and one of the best pizzeria's in town. Farley's, whose motto is 'friends don't let friends drink Starbucks', is a classic 1950s coffee shop that draws customers from all over the city. If you like beer, the Anchor Steam Brewery tasting room is four blocks down the hill. Finally, one of the best features of my neighborhood is that it is one of the very few places in San Francisco where there is never have a parking problem for you or your guests! Parking spaces abound and no permit is required. So, why stay at a fancy San Francisco hotel when you can get twice as much for half the price? Deal directly with the owner (me!), not a broker or property manager. In my humble opinion, this is the best accommodation value in San Francisco.
