Such a cute neighborhood, very walkable, felt very safe. My biggest complaint would be that its not very soundproof and the pillows on the bed were not very comfortable.

Kitchen setup was perfect for snacks and water bottle storage. We mostly ate out or went to the local coffee house for our morning coffee. Parking was excellent, especially for smaller cars. House was extremely clean. We have nothing negative to say.

Charming spot

We loved our stay in Howard’s apartment. The neighborhood is perfect for exploring in all directions—Richmond with all its great restaurants, Golden Gate Park and the de Young museum, the Presidio etc. Nearby Geary street gives you a. Straight shot downtown on the bus. Howard was very helpful and communicative and we particularly appreciated his letting us leave our luggage for a late pick up on our last day. It was a delightful stay.

Great host and location

Sweet comfortable quiet garage level apt in good location. Many local restaurants nearby. Efficiency kitchen. Howard who lives upstairs, is a lovely, accommodating host. Parking is moderately challenging if the driveway is blocked which, during our stay, was the case.

Quiet, perfect location, exceptional host

This flat is perfect for either a couple or a single person, we stayed with our adult child who slept out in the living room. It isn't a full two bedrooms, that's the only thing to consider if your group really does require two separate bedrooms and a living area. The second bed is in the living area which was perfect for us. The area is an ideal location, Howard is a wonderful host, it is a beautiful setting and incredibly quiet! If you are looking for a comfortable, quiet, and convenient place to stay in SF close to parks, cafes, and shops, this place is a winner. We would gladly stay here again.

Howard is a great host. Left us a list of nearby restaurants and services. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. Very walkable. I probably would not say there was a kitchen in the unit. It was more like a kitchenette. But overall we really enjoyed our stay!

This property was located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. It was an easy walk to some awesome restaurants. Howard gave us a great welcome packet with suggestions for neighborhood spots and a map to make it easier. The central location was a great home base for exploring San Francisco.
