Noe's Nest Bed and Breakfast

A friend and I enjoyed a "girl's getaway" in San Francisco last week and really enjoyed Noe's Nest. When I first walked into the museum-like front parlor, I wasn't quite sure what to think, but as Shelia, the proprietress, showed us around, it all made sense. Her life is a rich tapestry and her house reflects that. It was like staying with one of my favorite characters, Auntie Mame. Sheila is eccentric, classy, warm, welcoming and laid back; her house is your house. We were in the suite, which gave us plenty of room, plus nice windows for fresh air and a view of the neighborhood. It is a climb up to the 3rd floor, but it was great exercise! There is a well-equipped kitchenette up there, too, shared with The View room. Breakfast is a nice, casual affair with frittata, bread from a local bakery, spreads, salmon, fruit, etc. You can eat in the breakfast room, dining room, or take your food out to the garden or to your room. Sheila is more than accommodating, and arranged parking for my small car and also helped when my friend "lost" her phone. We discovered it missing while at the deYoung Museum, called Sheila (who was out and about) and she actually went back to the house to look for it and found it in our room. Now THAT is good customer service. The neighborhood is one of the loveliest in San Francisco, quite walkable (with a few steep hills) and with many great shops and restaurants. The architecture, views and culture in San Francisco are fantastic anytime, but we lucked out and had crystal clear weather. We are already talking about returning later this spring.

This is a charming place built in the 1800. Very interesting and wordly art/decor. Shiela (the hostess) is very friendly and extremely accommodating and helpful. She goes out of her way to make sure your stay and visit to SF are memorable. breakfast is very good with fresh berries, yogurt, salmon, and many other items.

such an eclectic and fun decor. Shelia the owner is warm, welcoming with a unique flair. An excellent cook, the best “ breakfast” of a bed and breakfast We have ever had

Charming Victorian, for an authentic San Francisco experience. I stayed in the Chapeau Room, a lux retreat room with steam and regular shower, comfortable bed, private balcony with great views, and very quiet! Although quiet the inn itself is in a walkable vibrant neighborhood full of coffee shops, restaurants, and independent small stores. Great for honeymoon, girl's getaway, or just personal respite from work or just to treat yourself to a nice getaway. Very romantic option for couples, too. Enjoy a full breakfast on your private balcony or in the garden below.

Noe's Nest is a warm and welcoming home away from home. Our stay in the suite offered privacy and comfort. Sheila is the consummate host and breakfast chef. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious and offers the opportunity to share conversation with other guests. Can't wait till our next visit!

Perfect location. Wonderful house and beautiful, historic accommodations. The breakfast is wonderful. The garden is gorgeous. Highly recommend

Noe’s Bed and Breakfast is a lush and groovy fever dream of fabulousness. The owner is very kind and welcoming without being intrusive. It was the perfect spot for three best friends to spend a week exploring the city while in town for the Dead and Co show. The bedding was comfortable, the bathroom w features a bidet and heated toilet seat, and the private kitchen area met all our needs. We felt very safe and tucked away. No need to drive; public transit took us all over San Francisco. 10/10 recommend this wonderfully eclectic spot for a lovely San Francisco experience.

Don’t stay here if you enjoy clean, 4*+ hotels. Photos online are very old. Overpriced for what you got @US$437./ nt for 3 adults!! Building Code Violation: bathroom electrical outlet behind faucet! How many others? We cringed from the decor & odour as we entered the front entrance. Greeted by the very eccentric, nice, old innkeeper/owner Sheila. She needs better staff to help her. Creepy decor due to clutter (clowns, old family pics, drapes, etc.) that had their day 50yrs ago. So much potential if renovated & given a thorough cleaning! Dusty. Cobwebs on ceilings & caked on dust on baseboards & lamps. Smelt like a mouse house. Weekday parking very difficult. Free street parking (if u can find it) after Friday 6pm to Sunday night. Breakfast not worth it, not fresh. Had oat milk that curdled in my coffee (expired 7days prior)! Limited Dairy-free AND gluten-free options @ breakfast (good smoked salmon with capers but no red onions condiment). Tomatoes had mold on tops. Blueberries mushy. No breakfast bacon or sausage. Had to make your own eggs in the cluttered kitchen! No thx. Garden Cabana too small for 3 Adults. Tripping over beds to get around furniture. Can’t open bar fridge fully as cot is blocking it! Cups/ wine glasses not clean. Had to re-wash cups in our kitchenette prior to use as 1st cup had fresh coffee stains inside. Had to scrub our countertop & fridge (cleaning staff doesn’t clean properly). No screens on patio door or window in Garden Cabana (a basement walkout room) so ventilation not great. Low water pressure took forever to rinse soap & conditioner off! Best part: had direct access to street so one doesn’t have to walk thru the creepy house! Also direct access to lovely albeit overgrown garden. Nice to have the Toto Washlet on toilet (heated seat) but it’s an elongated size slapped onto a round toilet. Bad fit. Good location near Saru Sushi on 24th St., Bac Lieu Vietnamese, Bao on Valencia, Trad Bone Broth, Whole Foods, 24th/Mission BART, Martha & Bros. Coffee Company (best zen Chai Tea Latte I’ve ever had!!). Tip: stay away from Market St/6th St. & Eddy/8th St. Don’t leave anything in parked car!

The property is full of character and unique in layout and design. Very close to great neighborhood bars and restuarants. The hostest is very eager to show off the property and its many wonderful features, including a separate wine cottage.
