We are ordinarily very flexible, though the COVID-19 crisis has made us much more cautious. If you have a great idea for an original exchange, let's talk! |
Lovely Apartment in Most Convenient Neighborhood of San Francisco, USA
The real San Francisco!! Classic Modern apartment in central neighborhood, but on a quiet cul-de-sac. Quiet and charming, but just blocks to hip Fillmore Street, Hayes Street, and downtown. Easy access to all of San Francisco (the entire city is only 7x7 miles). Live for a few days like a San Francisco native.
The home has high windows wrapping two sides - half the walls in the entire apartment have huge glass walls. Yet there is total privacy and quiet. Beautiful views across San Francisco to the West provide lovely sunsets nearly every evening. Or watch the fog roll in and across the neighborhoods, yet rarely reaching us at the top of Cathedral Hill (named for the famous Saint Mary's Cathedral, 1/2 block away). Our building has only 12 apartments, and is surrounded by a park-like setting with mature trees everywhere. It's one of the city's best-kept secrets.
Modern furnishings, museum-quality collection of drawings and photographs, large art library. Three bedrooms (one is used as a library), two full baths. Enclosed terrace, working fireplace, clothes washer and dryer and all amenities. Wifi and good sound system throughout.
The kitchen was entirely renovated in Fall 2020, with all new appliances.
Please note that our home is not suitable for children.
We hope you will provide simple care of TK, San Francisco's sweetest tuxedo cat.
NOTE: If you wish, exchange might also include use of our Wine Country cottage (Intervac listing US49725), an hour and fifteen minutes drive from the SF apartment. Be sure to ask about that bonus!

Familje presentation, fri text
We are Charles (retired art critic, college president, and art museum director) and Kitty (the retired Features Editor of a major newspaper). We now split our time between homes in San Francisco and in Sonoma County, as Kitty works on writing a book and Charles considers the metaphors presented by a small vineyard, orchard, and garden.
Livsstil
We are very active people, both physically (we exercise most days, walk 5-6 miles daily) and socially. In the city (San Francisco), we attend art exhibition openings, theater and music events several nights each week. In the country (Sonoma County), we enjoy nature, visit the numerous famous wineries and vineyards, and re-charge our batteries among our grapevines, fruit trees and vegetable garden. We read a lot, miss too many current movies, have no TV (though we stream things online).
