“Perfection”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The Parsonage is a beautifully decorated and restored Victorian in Hayes Valley, but that isn't why you'll love it. It's the absolutely scrumptious breakfasts, the fire burning in the parlor hearth when you come downstairs, the marvelous bed, and the warmth and friendliness of the people. It's very quiet, comfortable, and unpretentious. I stayed for six days and thoroughly enjoyed very minute of the stay. The B&B recommends the limo service if you're coming from the airport, and it's about $40 and very nice. I never met the innkeepers but the people who were running things in their absence were extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. Every morning I was up very early to catch tours around the area, but coffee and delicious food was always ready, and I felt at ease puttering around the kitchen. The only thing that I didn't like was that I never received a written confirmation for my reservation. I just wanted to have something in hand before flying across the country, but it wasn't a problem. The only other thing I would mention is that if you're visiting SF for the first time or if you want to be close to major tourist attractions, this may not be the best choice as it's a bit of a bus ride - about 30 minutes - to Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge, the Ferry Building, etc. But if you're comfortable using public transportation and don't mind the travel time, it won't be a problem. There are two bus stops right by the front door, and you can catch the subway a few blocks away. This is a really special place, and I would recommend it for either solo travelers or for couples.

“We Love The Parsonage & San Francisco”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We had a wonderful time. The limo service from the airport was great. The staff at The Parsonage was extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent every day. We really like the location right at 2 MTA bus stops & walking distance from the "Painted Ladies" neighborhood. Our room was comfortable & clean. All in all an excellent four days in the Bay area. The transit pass is definitely a good deal - We plan to do it again!

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a fireplace!

“The Parsonage - One of the best B&Bs and the best hosts in the world”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

person found this review helpful

It was my wife's first trip to San Francisco and I was a little bit nervous because I wanted everything perfect. Boy did I hit a home run with The Parsonage. We have travelled all over the world for my helicopter and wine businesses and I can honestly say, we have never stayed at a nicer B&B nor have we ever had such fabulous hosts. John and Joan are now like family to us. They made sure we were always comfortable both in their home and in the city.....bravo Parsonage....bravo!

Room Tip: We stayed on the top floor in a beautiful room with a fireplace. I would highly recommend this room...

“Fantastic B&B in SFO”

Our stay at The Parsonage was 5 star to say the least. From the authentic Victorian furnishings to the fireplace in each bedroom, the gourmet breakfasts daily, Each day was a treat! Street parking is available after 10 am until the next morning, but we were never without a spot. The area is close to quaint shops and affordable dining. A true find in the San Francisco area.

“Great B&B in San Francisco”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My wife and I loved The Parsonage B&B. It has beautiful Victorian antiques, very nice rooms, and a great breakfast. It is in a quiet neighborhood away from downtown San Francisco. There was wonderful shopping and dining nearby on Hayes Street. Downtown San Francisco was easily accessible by street car or bus from the B&B. The owners (John and Joan) were outstanding hosts. We stayed at The Parsonage from Dec 26-29. My wife and I highly recommend The Parsonage B&B while visiting San Francisco!
