Pacific Heights

If you were a tech billionaire looking for a place to live in San Francisco, you’d probably be browsing the Pacific Heights area. 

This affluent enclave offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the Palace of Fine Arts. Shop ‘til you drop down Fillmore Street, where boutique shops line both sides of the street. And to prove to your mates back home that you actually visited this area, snap a selfie from the top of the Lyon Street Steps.

"Great location. Walking distance to chinatown, financial district and little Italy. My room location was a little noisy. It was located right beside/behind the elevators. I can hear rumbling noise, I thought at first I was near a train station but realized it must be the elevators."
