Possession of a San Francisco Short-Term Rental Registration Certificate certifies that the registration certificate holder has agreed to comply with the terms of the San Francisco Short-Term Residential Rental Ordinance (San Francisco Administrative Code Section 41A). This ordinance does not require an inspection of the unit by the City for potential Building, Housing, Fire, or other Code violations.

San Francisco Business Lic. No. 1008012

Stay High Above the Rooftops of San Francisco’s Noe Valley

$950.00 weekly, 1 Week minimum stay, $2500.00 monthly., Sleeps 2. Unfortunately, I am not able to accommodate children. San Francisco has two (2) taxes that I have to collect from guests. A Transient Occupation Tax or TOT (14%), also known at the hotel tax for short-term rentals. I agree, it's a bummer.

You'll love this sunny, cozy rooftop studio like room in the quiet San Francisco neighborhood of Noe Valley (even though there is a fire station down the block). You will have a panoramic view all the way from Twin Peaks to the San Francisco Bay. Today, Noe Valley is one of San Francisco’s most desirable residential areas full of Victorian homes, shops, restaurants and easy public transportation access, all in one of the sunniest parts of The City.

Watch the fog hover over Twin Peaks as you have your morning coffee as the warm sun shines through your windows on three sides of the room. Accommodations include a warm comfortable bed, cable TV and wireless Internet access. You will also find a half-bath with a beautifully tiled shower, wet-bar with large sink and small refrigerator. You will be provided with dishware, pans, and utensils to make simple meals with the microwave, electric burner, and toaster oven. Linen and towels are provided.

This beautiful rooftop hideaway has a separate entrance through a side passageway and up a back staircase. Must be able to negotiate stairs since access is up a circular staircase of 43 steps that are unfortunately not very child-friendly.

You will be in walking distance to restaurants and Noe Valley’s 24th Street shops. You can also catch the J-Church MUNI line just a block away that will give you direct access not only to the Noe Valley, Castro, and Dolores Park Neighborhoods, but also to downtown for the Cable Cars, Union Square, and the Embarcadero. BART is just a short 10-minute walk away.

Parking is on the street if you have a car, though you must be careful about parking and street cleaning restrictions during the week which goes for all of San Francisco. A washer and dryer are available on the premises as well as a cozy small deck on the ground level.

Please let me know where you are coming from if you are interested in my rooftop sunroof.

A really lovely women from Switzerland, one of the few international guest I have had this year. Very bright, smart, and she appreciated what I have to offer my guests. It was fun to get to know her and share all the wonderful things about San Francisco. Would love to have her return or visit here in Switzerland.

He was very flexible and understanding of our schedule and so sweet and attentive. We would gladly stay there again in the future! His sunroom had everything we needed for our stay and it was walking distance to shopping, restaurants, bars and cute cafes. And the view from the room was amazing every morning and evening!

Host was wonderful! He greeted us and gave us a thorough summary of the place and the neighborhood! Location is great! We did not have a car, but parking seems reasonable. Views are beautiful… But he warned that there are some narrow steps that can make large bags a bit of a pain to get up and down. We packed light and did not have any issues, but the stairs are certainly worth the accommodations and the view!

Here to visit a niece that lived just down the street. Lovely couple very nice and very receptive to my orientation and suggestions. Theylready knew a bit about the neighborhood and one of my favorite coffee cafes within walking distance. The wife will be returning later this month and I will look forward to seeing her again. I certainly would like to have them as guests in the future. I usually carry my guests' bags up the staircase since I know the staircase as well as when they depart. Unfortunately, they had a very early flight home and I wasn't able to help them out. Next time I will make sure I do so.

It was such a pleasure meeting Dana and staying in the lovely sunroom. The place is just as described in the listing. What an amazing view! I loved watching the sunrise from the comfortable bed.

We will definitely look to stay here again on our next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Dana L. Rees

Host profile image

Your host, a retired musician (but musicians never 'retire') will answer any of your questions and assist you in having the best possible time in San Francisco. Your host has lived at this location since 1986 and has lovingly restored and updated the builidng making for a unique and relaxed living experience.

Why they chose this property

The ROOFTOP SUNROOM is literally that, a room perched on the roof of a two unit building in San Francisco's Noe Valley. You view is panoramic from Twin Peaks looking west sweeping around to San Francisco Bay looking east.

What makes this property unique

San Francisco is a city of neighborhoods and Noe Valley is one of the nicest. It is in a part of The City that the sun shines brightly when much of the rest of San Francisco is in the Fog. It is a neighborhood where you walk! Walk to the shops and stores on 24th St., or find wonderful restaurants just blocks away on Church St. Walk to a cheese store, meat market, or take in the Saturday morning Farmers' Market. Walk in any direction and you will find a coffee shop where you can sit and relax enjoying your tea or coffee.
