Jackson Court

This fantastic neighbourhood B&B is still, happily, flying under most visitors' radar. Located on a calm residential stretch of Pacific Heights, Jackson Court is built into a beautiful 19th-century brownstone mansion and is as quiet as a church. Each of the eight rooms and two suites is furnished with a soothing combination of antiques and tasteful contemporary pieces; all have private baths. Some have working fireplaces; ask for the Library Room, which boasts a hearth and a brass bed. Rates include continental breakfast and afternoon tea.
