Basic Info and a Request

The Perch is on the border between Chinatown and Nob Hill, near the intersection of Sacramento & Powell.

Getting here from any direction includes uphill, and parking can be hard. I am well aware of both these facts. Please don’t go on and on about it when you arrive because it bums me out.

Doorbell & Elevator

Step 1: Use the buzzer to look me up and call. That way I can buzz you in.

Step 2: Call the elevator and get in. You won’t be able to choose a floor (needs a key). I’ll call for the elevator to let you in.

Step 3: Be amazed when the elevator doors open right into my place.

Public Transportation

Parking

Finding street parking can be tough, and pretty much anything not metered has a 2 hour limit during the day.

Garages nearby:

Notes: Evening parking is bad if there’s a show at the Masonic. Chinatown often has events on the weekends that block off streets. Streets also sometimes get closed off by Secret Service if dignitaries are staying at the Fairmont, or by film crews.
