Excellent apartment next to Ghirardelli Square. Owner was great communicating, easy to get along with and being receptive to our inquiries. Highly recommend!

My son and I had a great long weekend at Dede's. Really great spot to stay at, being a short walk to the water front. Used Uber most of the time to get to other spots around the city, or simply walked. And there is a rental car spot a short walk away, and a garage where's you can park the car when not in use. In addition to great things around city, highly recommend Muir woods and other coastal areas across the Golden Gate bridge to the North. Even took in zip lining thru the red woods at Sonoma Zipline Adventures, a little over an hours drive north. Thanks again Dede for sharing your wonderful place.

Myself, wife and daughter stayed at Dede's for four nights to see some shows during Sketchfest 2024. It's a wonderful condo with a rooftop deck right across from the Ghirardelli clock tower and what a view of the bay! Dede was so helpful and accommodating without being intrusive at all. It was a great trip and this was a perfect "base camp" where we started and planned our trips each day. So much to do within walking distance, but even with some rain over the weekend I have to mention Ubers arrive so fast in SF. This is a good one.

This cozy, well-sized and well-maintained home was conveniently located a block from Ghiradelli Square and made our visit to SF easy to do all the things we planned: Alcatraz, Fisherman's wharf, riding cable car, Muir Woods. The included parking was a huge plus. It was a quiet street but just walk a block toward the waterfront and you have all the shops, restaurants and action of Fisherman's Wharf. The house was exactly as described and had all the conveniences of home, such as fully stocked kitchen, including spices, cooking oil, plenty of paper towels, which we many properties don't provide. The owner Dede was a great host and was very responsive to any questions. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 teens, and the house was comfortable in every way. The bathroom and master BR were huge. The roof deck is very cute and has beautiful views. We would stay again and highly recommend this property.

We stayed at the Larkin property with two of our sons and they had the best time. With all of the fun things we had planned during our stay in the city, they made some of their best memories at the house. It is beautiful, unique and perfectly located. From the rooftop views to the warm and cozy interior spaces - everything was comfortable and welcoming.

My family and I had a wonderful time in San Francisco, thanks to DeDe and her beautiful home. The location is excellent, close to tourist attractions but also relatively quiet, and the view across the water is absolutely incredible. The rooftop patio just can’t be beat! We had everything we needed and felt comfortable that we could reach out with questions at any time. Highly recommend this rental.

This is a stylish apartment, an easy walk from the bay and across the street from the Ghirardelli chocolate experience! The host communicated very well and was most helpful getting us settled in. We could get everywhere in the city easily using rideshare and the quintessential cable car! We really enjoyed our visit and won’t hesitate to book again when we plan our next trip to SF.

Had a great stay. Very close to everything on our itinerary. We were able to walk to: -Ghirardelli square -fisherman’s wharf -cable cars -big bus hop on/off tours stop -many restaurants -the convenient corner store less than a block away -shore line with artists and vendors -pier 33 for our Alcatraz boat tour -amazing roof deck view Thing’s to note for families traveling with older (60+) and children: -great array of kids books -narrow spiral staircase might be a little difficult for holding little one but not impossible, older members might have difficulty -it’s San Fran it has a hill to get to front door Highly recommend this place

I don't even know where to begin. I've been to San Francisco countless times but have always stayed in hotels, typically around Nob Hill/Union Square. This was our first time taking our kids with us (boys ages 11 and 15). Dede's home gave us an authentic San Fran living experience. Her home is so comfortable and beautifully appointed. The beds were all comfortable (and we're all "bed snobs" with low expectations once we leave our home). The master bathroom was beautiful, though our younger son who still enjoys baths loved the clawfoot tub in the upstairs bathroom. Dede goes out of her way to introduce you to the property and all of it's old quirks and to communicate about current events in the city. Our 15-year old practically lived on the rooftop deck and loved the independence of running down to the bodega on the same block for snacks, or going just up the hill a block to enjoy the dog park, or down the hill 2 blocks to the beach and cable car turnaround. Our younger son was so excited to be able to walk to Ghirardelli Square to get late-night hot chocolates (open until 11). Dede's house is practically connected to Ghirardelli Square - that's how close it is. The house was super close to cable cars as well as other public transportation, which we relied on most of the time. However, we also appreciated that Dede had a parking spot in a garage just a few blocks away that we could use, because we did have a rental car that we used for some day trips. Thanks Dede!

very comfortable stay. Easy walking distance to so many places. We loved afternoon drinks on the rooftop deck and the views across the bay!

Overall a lovely experience. Located very close to the water and convenient to most anything one needs - bikes ,food,drinks,transportation and views. Rooftop deck has a great view of the water and Alcatraz. The house itself is very comfortable and DeDe is responsive & accommodating.

This was a great place to stay, was right near Ghirardelli Square and the wharf. Dede was an excellent host; she was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here if we come back to San Francisco!

We loved the house and location. Easy walk to Fisherman's Warf and the surrounding area. Excellent "Home Base" for a wonderful trip to San Francisco!

My family and I stayed at Dede’s property when we were in town dropping a child off for her first year of college. Dede’s place was lovely, clean and a welcome home base as we got our daughter settled into her new life. We were walking distance to lots of great restaurants and attractions and the included parking made it easy for us to get in and out over the few days that we were there. Dede met us at the property when we first arrived to show us around and was available via text throughout our stay. We will definitely look forward to staying here again when we are in town in the future.

Love the city! Dede shared her beautiful home with us in a perfect location! The roof deck was amazing to see the city. It was fabulous and we enjoyed it at night as well. We walked everywhere. It was amazing to us country folks to get where we needed to go without a vehicle. If we wanted to go far we got an Uber. We did the Love Bus tour, Segway tour in Golden Gate Park, ate the most amazing pizza at Tony’s in little Italy, enjoyed Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf, walked down to Ghirardelli’s square and had sundaes at night! Thanks Dede!

Great experience. Perfect location, wonderful host. Love to stay there again.

We canceled a hotel reservation and reserved DD‘s place and we are so glad we did. He gave our family money of space to spread out and was super convenient for the few days we were visiting San Francisco for the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. Everything was super clean and we were able to check in early which was nice because our flight got in mid day. The beds in the second bedroom are small, perfect for young kids, but you may want to consider that if a full-size human will be sleeping in them. Deedee was super helpful and we would definitely recommend this rental.

We had a great time exploring San Francisco, and DeDe was a wonderful host!

Wonderful host offering the perfect family friendly condo for rent. Quintessential San Francisco property with plenty of room for a family to spread out and enjoy their visit. Easy access to public transit (bus line, muni line, cable car). Ideal location near Ghirardelli’s Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Pier 39. Make sure to enjoy the morning and night views from the rooftop deck.

What a great place and Dede was terrific. Although we were just in and out on business, the place would be ideal for a pleasure stay. Outside Deck is amazing. Thanks for hosting us.

My husband and I took our kids (12 & 9 years old) to San Francisco for the first time. Dede’s place was so perfect for us! Walking distance to buses, cable cars, Fisherman’s Wharf, and more! We didn’t get to meet Dede in person because we were later to arrive than planned, but she was still so helpful when we got there, and very accommodating. Thank you, Dede, for making our stay so comfortable! We will definitely be back!

Dede is a dream host that walks you through the property when you arrive. The property is charming, spacious enough for a family of 5 and in a perfect location to do most anything you want in SF by walking! I will rent again next I go to San Francisco!

I came down for a long weekend with my husband and two kids (6 yrs, 9 yrs). This was the perfect launching spot for our adventures in the Bay — the kids loved the new park a block away even more than Ghirardelli. Dede was a great host and made sure we were taken care of. The only thing that was hard for us as a family that normally lives in a quiet suburban neighborhood was the difference trying to sleep in the heart of the city. It takes awhile for the city to quiet down (much after our kids bedtimes) and the lights in the windows while we tried to sleep from cars cruising down the street surprised me a few times that first night. A sound machine helped and tiring the kids out walking all day, so we all slept better after the first night of adjustment. Not a comment on Dede’s lovely apartment but more a heads up for other non-city dwellers to prepare for.

We loved our time at Dede's. There is an enclosed garage which helped with safety and security. The house is fantastic. I wish we got to take more advantage of the rooftop, the weather was just a little cold to enjoy it. Dede bends over backwards to make sure you have everything you need to settle in and really wants you to make the place your own while you are there. I can't recommend this highly enough. You could walk to fisherman's wharf, all the other areas are reasonable drives. We did not do public transportation while we were there so I can't say how easy that would have been.

We enjoyed staying here very much, great location!

We stayed here as part of a wedding week trip to SF! Plenty of room, great living space, and the roof top deck is perfect! We enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon happy hour up there every day! Very close to everything wharf related, and a short Uber to everything else!! The locked parking garage was a huge help. Dedes art is also around the home which we enjoyed! She was very responsive and a warm goat!

I stayed here for a work event with a co-worker and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The home was perfect for our needs. Very comfortable layout and also in a fantastic location. It was great to walk out the front door and see the bay and Ghirardelli square. Will stay again.

The location of this place is spot on! Clean, comfortable and safe. Close to all the great fun places to see while in San Francisco! Fisherman’s Wharf, and more. Recommend 10/10

Dede's home is so close to Ghirardelli Square you can almost smell the hot fudge! The location has excellent walk-abilty- close to many of San Francisco's best attractions. The home itself was very comfortable for our family of 4 adults. Well stocked, very clean, and has the most beautiful view of the wharf from the top deck. Dede is a wonderful host-meeting us at arrival and answering any questions we may have had. We loved our short stay and are looking forward to returning in the future. We highly recommend Dede's condo for your stay. Holly & Family

If I were ever to be reincarnated as a town house, I would want to be this one. Dede takes great care of the house and was very welcoming. We came to spend time with our family, and it was wonderful to have the chance to relax together. The rooftop deck view is amazing. We will be returning here in the future to see our family. Thanks Dede!

This was a lovely home with plenty of room for our family of 4. The rooftop deck was wonderful, and we enjoyed our morning walks by the water.
