Excellent bus connections: Downtown/Beach; Marina/MIssion.

A comfortable stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and the apartment was as described in the advert, with a variety of teas and coffee in the kitchen along with some chocolate! The location was a perfect peaceful haven after the bustle of sight seeing, with easy access to bus routes. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our host, who we met on arrival, was most welcoming, suggesting places to visit as well as providing a locally drawn map with recommendations for eating out. We would be very happy to stay again when we are in the area.

Perfect Downtown Access
Stayed her a full week, comfortable spot for two grandparents and college age granddaughter! Howard is a welcoming host, providing for our needs and very accessible. Granddaughter did daily runs in Golden Gate Park and brought back amazing pastries. We tried and senjoyed several restaurant recommenations, both eating out and bringing in food. Saw all the key sites during the week, including a day in Napa Valley.

Nice garden apartment in great location
Spacious apartment near public transportation and fabulous restaurants. A short walk to a public pool and the Koret pool at USF, the best pool I've ever experienced (though a little expensive for a single day use).

Alot for a little
This ground floor unit provided the ideal means to eat, sleep and act as a base of operations in a very peaceful part of SF. The location provided local access to UCSF gym, Golden Gate Park, Farmers Market and lots of restaurants. Be aware that the kitchen is tiny with half-height refrigerator and a bar sink. Also, the bathroom floor is very cold and does not have a light. All told, this place served out purposes well. Thanks Howard!

Lovely retreat in the city, but away from the hustle and bustle. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and there were plenty of outlets to plug in all of our tech stuff. Would happily stay at Howard's place again on our next visit to San Francisco.

Proximity to USF
Stayed with husband & teen to visit USF. Great location to campus and walks in Golden Gate Park. Walking distance to Haight & Ashbury neighborhood and many restaurants in the area. Easy Uber or bus access to all other sights. Small fridge and kitchen area. Comfortable beds. Owner lives upstairs and responds to messages quickly. We will stay again.

It is a garage apartment on lower level. Nice space and simple needs to make visit pleasant. Easy accessibility to all areas we came to visit. Howard is a pleasure to communicate with and left nice visitor notes to find dining and introduce you to your surroundings.

Another nice stay at Quiet Garden Apt
We have been there numerous times and we always appreciate the clean, quiet and comfortable setting. It is a modest place with a few stairs and may not be for everyone but it always fits our travel needs and feels like a safe place. The pictures are accurate of the layout and what is available within the apt. This was our first time with a car (compact would be best) and Howard let us use his garage. We usually use the public transportation as that is close by and easy. We used the microwave for a few meals but mostly walked to near by restaurants and bakeries, visited the weekend Farmers Market and walked about 15 minutes to the the Golden Gate Park. We hope to return for future trips. Retired Seattle Couple

Lone mountain gem
Howard provided an excellent space in the ♡ of Lone mountain to explore USF and the surrounding area. Upon arrival, Howard greeted us and provided rental details. The rental was clean and perfectly appointed for our weekend in the city. There are many wonderful restaurants within an easy walk and Golden Gate Park is only a few blocks away. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the city.
