If You're Planning A Trip To San Francisco, Here Are 21 Vrbo Rentals To Check Out

1.A historic carriage house in Lower Haight that was originally built in 1883 — this former carriage house has been converted into a cozy and unique guest cottage.

Low-key sophisticated, the recently-remodeled condo boasts not just beautiful accommodations that include a dining area, full bath, and bedroom with a California king bed, but also two sweeping decks that overlook the San Francisco Bay and other iconic SF landmarks.
