Nob Hill Chateau – Rent SF Suites

My fiancée and I found housing at the Nob Hill Château with very short notice from our paid corporate housing ending. Koren and the entire team were very helpful in working with us last minute and accommodating to our needs for a short-​term lease while we were looking for a more permanent home. While I would say the space for two people in a studio is tight and you pay a pretty penny, you really do get a beautifully maintained building and apartment as well as amazing service from the staff in a wonderful location. It’s safe, close to everything, and has a very classy feel. The staff has gone above and beyond to show us a positive experience. They didn’t hesitate to give a helping hand whether it was printing out an application for me in their office or sourcing through their contacts in the industry to help us find a long-​term home in the city. I would definitely recommend!

Had an amazing stay here and would do it again without hesitation. Apartments are bright, clean and modern. Location is central to SF — walking distance to Union Sq but away from all the tourism activity. Koren (building manager) was amazing. She was a pleasure to deal with, was very responsive and a genuine, nice person.
Although not inexpensive by any means, you get great accommodation, solid management and a safe, comfortable transition to your next SF apartment.

This is a terrific location and first class accommodations. The new management team is awesome! We love Koren. She is amazing. They deliver what they say they will deliver and work to make sure you get everything you need.
I’d say the place is for upwardly mobile people. Everyone I’ve met seems awesome. There is NO sketch here. I even met a celeb my first day here!
If you are coming from out of town, the place is terrific for corporate relocation types. If I were coming from another country, I’d find the location great. If is located on the famous Nob Hill close to great hotel bars. The famous San Francisco Cable Cars roll right by on schedule.
I’m a resident in between home purchases. If I didn’t need to reinvest, I might never lead! I highly recommend this place.

I was here for 3.5 months in 2005 till about June/​July. The studio apartment was well appointed and the weekly maid service was welcome. The cleaning ladies were friendly and personable. The welcome package of wine and candies were a nice touch.
The on-​site laundry service in the basement was convenient but I wish they accepted quarters/​cash instead of those smart cards (that require you to recharge in multiples of $ 10).
I was told of a management change during my stay there but the then manager, Stephen, blemished my experience. He was to return $ 300 but never did. I called him up about two weeks before I was due to leave but he always managed to not meet me for some reason or the other. I mean, for $ 300? Really ?
Other than that, I’d recommend the NHC. It’s very conveniently located — just about 2 to 3 blocks away from Union Square, and right on the Powell St Cable Car line.

My family moved in this building in 1975. Over the years it had been taken over by many different owners and changes. All whom wanted my dad to move out considering he was probably the only tenant left that was on rent control.
In 2005 my dad passed away in the apartment in mid July. He was a pack rat and had kept everything he probably ever owned. So sorting everything and throwing things out was definitely going to take some time. The very same day my father passed we rang the manager’s door and asked him if we were not able to empty out the apartment by the end of the month may be pay rent for an extra week? We were told NO and if it wasn’t taken care of by the 31^st that the locks would be changed.
With a group of 10 family members working to empty the apartment and a rented garbage bin the size of 3 parking spots we were still not able to finish and plan a funeral all in a matter of 2 weeks. So we had to leave the rest and go on our ways.
My mother then received a phone call a few days after the beginning of August from the owners lawyers asking why she had not emptied the entire apartment yet. She told him that she was the ex wife and had no legal obligation to do anything. The lawyer then called my brother and asked the same question. My brother then repeated what the manager told us. The lawyer then stated that he would be willing to give us a few days to take out what was left. My brother told him no and that they can clean up the rest of the mess. Your lawyer couldn’t intimidate us and we don’t need the deposit back considering rent for our apartment was $ 150 when we first moved in!

I stayed at the Nob Hill Château for about 7 months before I moved permanently to San Francisco. I enjoyed the whole time very much and was pleased with the services by the staff which especially includes the building manager Wendy but also their house keeping services. A so called «Executive One Bed Room» was my home for this time and even this room operates in a higher price range it is still cheaper than a hotel for a long term stay but it includes hotel amenities such as free high-​speed-​internet, housekeeping and receptionist. The whole building was always in good shape, the room very big, modern and clean. Some technical issues have arised in those seven months but all have been fixed usually within 24 hours. I just wrote an email to Wendy and I could be sure that she and her team will take care.
The building itself is in the perfect location if you are new to San Francisco. Its very convenient located near Union Square and Financial District. Your visitors will love it too ;)
I know this place is more expensive than a normal apartment but that is not what you should compare against. You get a whole lot of good and friendly service and you basically don’t have to do anything except enjoying your San Francisco living especially if it is only for a certain time.
