Standard Room - California King

if the walls of the Monte Cristo Bed & Breakfast could talk, what stories they could tell, for this remarkable building has been a part of San Francisco since 1875. Originally built as a bordello and saloon. In the 1920s, it served as a speakeasy. When the great fire swept the city after the 1906 earthquake, homes were put to the torch on Van Ness Avenue to create a firebreak, and the Saloon not only survived, it served as a refuge for the newly post-quake homeless.

Superhost
The room contains two extra-long double beds adorned with floral-patterned bedspreads. Natural light enters through large windows with a view of a flower-filled courtyard. A nightstand with a lamp is positioned beside the beds, complementing the inviting ambiance.
