My Rosegarden Guest Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"A private home in the Richmond District, just a stone's throw from the Presidio's southern border. Lovingly maintained. This is a nice place to stay if you're OK with being a bit off the SF tourist track. A sumptuous breakfast every day at 8:00 AM. Loved the fog and the foghorns! You're that close to the ocean and the Golden Gate."

Absolutely Private President's Suite, Computer, Wi-Fi, Laundry, Pub. Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for my wife and me. Beautiful, nicely appointed, and very comfortable place from the interior to the small deck and backyard. We had bicycles, which we were able to store in the garage (although it’s a seriously steep climb on bike from Golden Gate Park).Regarding parking, it is a bit of a challenge to find a spot on the block, but we always relatively easily found one within a block or two (and did find a spot in front of the building) more than once."

Pacific Heights Victorian Garden Studio

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 Excellent — An absolute SF gem! This place is a peaceful, impeccably clean, and private retreat in one of San Francisco's best neighborhoods. Just a short walk to the Presidio with incredible eateries and shops nearby. Springer was a fantastic and responsive host. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the city—we can’t wait to come back!"
