Still standing in its glory [San Francisco CA] When we come to the City we try to stop by this Pacific Heights neighborhood and stop by for a respectful look as we remember the late Robin Williams. The three-level Victorian house sits in a prime location. Mrs Doubtfire is a really great movie and if you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it. 32 years later after the filming of the movie the house still stands and garners many visitors. The next time you're in San Francisco make sure you stop by 2640 Steiner Street to see the Doubtfire Victorian home used for the exterior shots in the film. Miranda actually mentions the actual address of the Hillard house in the movie. The door and the famous steps has been changed and the gate is installed by the current owner to keep fans from sitting on the steps to get their photos taken. Review #0958 updated read more

I was looking forward to stopping here during my SF trip, but after felt like it was a little boring. It's a private residence and doesn't really have anything that shows that it was in the movie. I would save your time and visit other places in SF read more

"I'm a hip old granny who can hip-hop, bebop, dance til ya drop and yo-yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa."~Mrs. Doubtfire The movie site of my favorite Robin Williams movie, other honorable mentions Flubber, Aladdin and Happy Feet! This hilarious 1993 comedy is based off the book Madame Doubtfire. Daniel, a dad of 3 is in the middle of a divorce and decides to pose as an old British nanny so he could spend more time with his children. RIP to the most hilarious actor who graced this earth, "aka" the man of many voices! It's sad to see a man who seemed so happy was hurting inside, I cried when he took his own life in 2014 and still cherish his movies. I would definitely recommend checking out this movie sight if you're a fan of the films, even if only for a quick photo. Something special knowing the all star cast were once here! Note: This is a residential home, no tours available as respect to its residents. *Song credit: Acoustic Guitar 1 by audionautix.com License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode read more

So cool seeing this building. Of course, I had to watch the movie before and after the visit. There was also a nice saying on the tree in front for Robin Williams. there was also a hotel room key, but I don't know the significance of the hotel room key. read more

It's cool to see this house in person. A little underwhelming, LOL, but still cool! There is nothing on the house labeling it from the movie besides the address. There were only a few people coming to take photos in front of the house during the weekday, so maybe weekends are more busy? Not sure. Definitely worth a drive-by, at least! read more

Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my favorite films, so much that I memorized the address of the Hillard home (which is the actual address of this house). Needless to say, I made it a priority to visit the famous house during my time in San Francisco. I was exploring nearby Haight-Ashbury and Alamo Square park and noticed it was about a 30 minute walk to the house, so I decided to get some exercise in and make my way over. The house, located at 2640 Steiner Street, is in the Pacific Heights area of the city. This is one of the wealthiest areas of San Francisco, which I can totally believe because all the houses here are simply magnificent. The house is huge, and besides a slight color change and replacement of the front steps, looks exactly as it did in the film. Beyond the house, it's worth walking around the neighborhood to soak in all the eye candy. I totally had a fanboy moment here, and if you're like me it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Mrs. Doubtfire House - Steiner, oh how lovely - Local Flavor Near Me - San Francisco, California

I live next door to famous houses, famous houses that hit the radar about twelve years ago and tourists began swarming in droves, toting cameras and taking selfies. But I'm glad I don't live in one of those famous houses. People will actually look in windows, ask owners what they paid for their home, all sorts of odd questions. So I understand why the new owners of the Mrs. Doubtfire House put up a stumpy gate at the end of their brick steps. Easy enough to step over, it's a little silly: It's not going to stop folks from leaving flowers to honor actor/comedian Robin Williams whose character "lived" here nor will interest die down anytime soon. It's not going to stop anyone from climbing the brick steps and taking selfies at the front door. (Ask the tech bro who threw up his arms in frustration with the crowds and annoyances and sold his home on Broderick, the Full House house. And yeah, it was purchased by the Full House producer & they might start shooting there, have fun neighbors!) The Mrs. Doubtfire House is newly painted grey and no longer the rich, buttercream color. Maybe they thought they could go incognito? Fat chance. It's a lovely home, if you look at the upper windows you'll see some pretty stenciling (you'll have to go see for yourself, I didn't want to intrusively photograph their charming windows.) Add it to the list of famous movie locations, San Francisco has many along with its stunning natural beauty. read more

Mrs. Doubtfire House - Mrs. Doubtfire - Local Flavor Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Mrs. Doubtfire House is on the corner of Broadway and Steiner in the Pacific Heights neighborhood in The City. In my line of work, I often get asked by tourists if I have been to two iconic houses filmed in San Francisco: The 'Mrs. Doubtfire' house and the 'Full House' house. I've lied in the past and said yes, but I can no longer live with this lie as it's eating me inside filling me with shame and horror that I must rectify at once. So a few weeks ago during my day off, I happened to be in the area and decided to pay a visit so that I can finally lift this burden of shame hanging over me like a dark and gloomy cloud. I parked a block away and walked to the house on an overcast and foggy day - a typical San Francisco weather. Then she appeared before me where she stood like a Grand Dame of old Hollywood standing out within the the other Victorian Houses saying, "Look at me; here I am!" It's also been over a year since Robin Williams passed away and his spirit was felt lingering in the cool and misty air. In front of the house are two trees filled with tributes etched on their bark like a tattoo permanently inked on a skin, and stones filled with messages of love laid on the base of the trees. What a wonderful memorial that organically transpired and fully supported by the house's owners knowing the impact it had to all his fans. For that I commend them. The house itself is beautiful, majestic and charming that is undeniably and uniquely screams San Francisco. As I begin to leave and walk back to my car, it started to sprinkle and felt a little sad and happy at the same time as I recall running into Robin Williams twice in my life - once was inside the elevator of UCSF on Parnassus and the other was at Crissy Field where he was jogging with his then second wife. No, I didn't ask for an autograph or took a selfie with him, but I just nodded each time and gave him a wink. These are memories I will cherish with me as it always gives me a smile whenever I think about them. Thank you, Robin Williams. You have made a lot of people smile, laugh and cry, and I wish you were still here with us. read more

When you look at a map, the distance to this place isn't so bad. And then you see it. The hill. Oy, the hill. But I wasn't going to let this hill defeat me from my objective. And you know what? It was worth it. It's still the same house and you'll recognize it because there are people taking picture of it. I had to wait a bit to get my clear pictures while a woman with the bright red boots got her selfies done and moved along. Not much else here. Do take a moment to look at the stones under the tree in front. What a movie! read more

Mrs doubtfire house is a must see when visiting San Francisco although it's not much to see but the house it self but it's on the corner of Steiner & Broadway streets. just standing around the house taking pictures of it brings me back to when the movie came out. I grew up watching robin Williams play this classic roll as a sweet old house sitter, and I can just see Sally fields opening up the door when mrs doubtfire rings the bell. Such a classic movie, till this day I never get bored of watching this movie, it's sad to see Robin Williams go such a talented actor. The house still looks as it did in the movie, it still has its Gorgeous charm it's big and it's very beautiful. If you plan to visit using mass transit you can take the 22 Filmore bus line or if your traveling by car you can gps 2640 Steiner street. read more

Such a beautiful house. Beautiful memories. It's a quiet area of the city, but it does get busy during tourist season. It's a peaceful looking home...just like the way I hope Robin Williams is at in his state right now (R.I.P.) This is more of a "take a few pictures", give your condolences and then keep exploring the city. read more

Mrs. Doubtfire House - Flowers for the late and great Robin Williams - Local Flavor Near Me - San Francisco, California

I must admit, my childhood was not filled with the constant watching of Mrs. Doubtfire, but I did watch it once or twice so I got an idea of how it's suppose to be. This house is a house. It's nothing more than a house that is located in San Francisco, about 0.6 miles away from the "Full House" house. Parking is all on the streets and since it's residential, there is no need for coins. The house itself is gorgeous. My cousin and I only looked at it from across the street because we didn't want to be creepers right outside of the house. Definitely a nice reminder of your childhood hero, Robin Williams. Come here and just enjoy the beauty that is an expensive San Francisco home. read more

As both a kid of the 90's and a mama of two small kiddos, a quick visit to the "Mrs. Doubtfire House" was on our list of things to do while in San Fran. It goes hand in hand with all of the other similar touristy spots such as the "Full House house" and "The Painted Ladies". This house takes on such a new powerful essence since the tragic passing of the late great Robin Williams. Many have left rocks they with written messages on them, and others have gone as far as actually writing around the tree in front of the house. They are currently doing construction on the house and one of the workers told us a fan left a beautiful sketch of Robin on the steps. This house has become more than just a movie set, but rather a memorial of sorts to fans of hilarious and uber talented Robin. The kiddos immediately asked to watch the movie again after we left. They were excited to see the house again now that they had been here. They got a kick out of it all. I'm definitely glad we visited. Not just to make the kiddos happy but to also pay respect. It doesn't take much time to stop by although parking isn't the easiest. We just parked in front and hopped out really quickly. They ask that you not park illegally or make too much noise. Just be respectful. read more

Reviewer # 39. I am a fan of Sally Field. Her acting is amazing and breathtaking. Robin Williams I would watch on Mork and MIndy in the 80's as a child. I too am a fan of Robin Williams. This house is in a beautiful location overlooking the water in the distance. I kept seeing flashbacks of the Mrs. walking to the bus stop with her falling stockings or looking out the window as Sally kisses Pierce. What I could really feel was walking up to the house and wishing it were the day of the birthday party. I can still see the chaos and love that the Mrs. had for her babies. What a good movie, great acting, and a beautiful home. You aren't able to go up to the door of this home as you are the Full House Home. Someone did, though, because there is a painting of Robin Williams in remembrance of someone who brought so much love, laughter, and joy to peoples life, and ended his with sadness and pain. If you were a fan of the movie, or any of the stars, I think you should stop by here and basque in the ambiance for a few moments in time. read more

I like walking the different neighborhoods in San Francisco. The hills may slow me down, but they don't stop me! That being the case, it's easy to tempt me to go explore. So one day seeing the Mrs Doubtfire house did the trick. It's a nice hike to get there. Once you arrive well it's a house. It's nice and it's big. No sign of Mrs Doubtfire or the kids. Walk around, then I'm off! read more

I'm sure the owner is beyond the point of being annoyed, but that's what happens when you live in the Mrs. Doubtfire House! We came here right after Robin Williams died and it was packed with people and memorials. I'm not even sure how the owner was able to get into and out of his house. That's how packed it was. It's now become a tribute site to Robin Williams where those who wish to pay their respect to the man flock. It's a beautiful home and neighborhood, so I wouldn't advise becoming a local there, but it's nice to visit if you're a true Robin Williams fan. read more

If you're visiting the city you absolutely have to stop by here. It looks exactly like it does in the movie. Fans pay tribute to Robin Williams by leaving sweet messages on rocks outside the home. Not sure if anyone lives here currently but if so, they are very sweet to allow fans to leave flowers and notes. The house is just a short walk from the Full House house and Alamo Square. read more

It's very unassuming! Easy to find (It's right on the corner). If you've never seen Mrs. Doubtfire, then this house will not make sense to you. But...if you did see the movie, then it will all make sense. We stopped by to check it out. There were a few people outside taking pictures and the tree in front of the house has been carved with names and well wishes to Robin Williams. If you have some time to kill, I recommend stoping by this place. What would make it more interesting is if you watch the movie either before you go or after so it will put everything in perspective. read more

Make sure to go down to 2640 Steiner. The house is very underwhelming and the house address is highly invisible read more

I've always been a big fan of the movie, and so on a recent trip to San Francisco, I just HAD to stop by! Things always look smaller in real life than they do on tv. The neighborhood is hilly and gorgeous - classic San Francisco. If I won the lottery, let's just say I'd buy a house in Pacific Heights. RIP Robin Williams. read more

Often a rare occasion where I briefly visit a location and easily give it 5 stars. You only need to see the exterior of the house, from there you are already down memory lane of funny moments, memorable quotes and tear jerks from Mrs. Doubtfire. The nostalgia was worth the visit. read more

I remember being really sad when I heard the news about Robin Williams' death. So, one year later, when I happened to be in SF, I was so glad I could do something about that I had to go see the house for myself. At first I thought about going to see his actual living house, but then I decided it would be very creepy and invasive, so, going to Mrs. Doubtfire house was a little bit lighter. It's just a regular house, but I was happy to see it hadn't the stairs closed as the Full House house. In front of there are rocks and trees full of messages from fans. There's something so positive about these messages that I stayed there for half an hour reading all I could (a lot are vanishing). While I was there, a group of girls showed up with flowers and in a second, a camera man that was around started recording. It was a little weird, but soon the girls were sharing stories about him and it all became very emotional. If you have a chance, include the house in your tour, you'll be filled with peace and good memories of the all the characters he used to play. read more

Stopped by here during my trip to SF. Very nostalgic. There were other fans outside taking pictures, too. We talked for a bit about the house looking different than it did it the movie - the house looks like it has been painted a darker color since the movie, but it is still recognizable. Worth a quick visit, for sure. read more

Very lovely. We visited very briefly because we didn't want to invade the owner of the house, although I'm sure they're quite used to it by now. There were some rocks surrounding the trees and people had written little notes about Robin Williams which I felt was a sweet little tribute to a great man. Honestly, there isn't much to see, but the feeling of nostalgia makes it worthwhile. read more
