The apartment was a perfect size for us. The beds were very comfortable and the garden/views were beautiful. It's right off the 101, so easy to access. Walkablity is 5/10, but very easy drive to coffee and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by David Isham

Host profile image
My wife Trang and I live in this Edwardian mansion. We raise chickens in our backyard.

Why they chose this property

I spent 3 years renovating this property. I spared no expense to preserve its classic 100 year old Edwardian architecture.

What makes this property unique

This is a 100 year old Edwardian Mansion over looking the San Francisco Bay and only 13 minutes from the city of San Francisco. Minutes away from the Ferry terminal. We raise chickens in our backyard and you may even get some fresh organic eggs!
