We had to include something for the city slickers, and this San Francisco cottage, located in the happening Hayes Valley neighborhood, is a sweet retreat from the busy streets. The two-bedroom Victorian cottage is tucked away in a shared courtyard and is surrounded by gardens. It features two bathrooms, each with a claw-foot soaking tub, and two levels of living space filled with midcentury modern furnishings and quirky accessories (think guitars and vintage fans).
