Solid Place in a Very Convenient Location

Had a great stay at Howard’s property. It is the lower level of a house, very nice having a garage if renting a vehicle. Very safe area and close access to Golden Gate Park and Muni buses. Howard was accommodating and met upon arrival. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. If looking for a place to stay in the Richmond district or near Golden Gate Park, this is a great option!

Beautiful home in a nice and quiet location. Its not two separate bedrooms, just 1 bedroom with another bed in the living room area but still provided exactly what we needed to be comfortable for out stay and have our privacy. Didn't really utilize the kitchen area as our goal was to explore the city, but location was absolutely wonderful for that! House made old house noises as part of its charm

Rest in the Heart of San Francisco

We had a wonderful time staying in the quiet garden apartment. Everything was perfect. Howard was amazing. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you to Howard for having us and to the city of San Francisco for giving us a break from the craziness of the world.

Cozy apartment on a quiet cul-de-sac

Great neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants, grocery and Golden Gate Park. A nice quiet retreat at the end of our day. We had a garage for our car. Everything felt safe and secure. Howard was very helpful with suggestions for where to eat and what to do.

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.

Host was the best!

We were very fortunate to have found a place in close proximity to the hospital. Howard was very gracious and prompt in his communications with us and we looked forward to our stay. Unfortunately, the surgery that was to take place had been postponed (four times) and we were unable to stay at the Quiet Garden this time. Howard was very understanding and left a great impression on us, we will look forward to coming here under better circumstances and enjoying his hospitality.

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!
