Cozy garage apartment in the perfect location

The apartment is tucked behind the garage with a delightful garden view. Communication and check-in were easy and efficient. The space is as pictured - a little dated but very clean and comfortable. The bathroom and kitchette are small but set-up perfectly and work great! The bed and linens were very comfortable and there were special things like fresh flowers in the bathroom! I appreciated having a table, chairs and living area. The location is an easy walk to many coffee shops, restaurants and the Golden Gate Park!

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.

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.

Well Located Property

We spent 10 days here as we helped our son who was hospitalized locally. Two of the main reasons we selected this property were its location and the availability of a garage because parking is a major issue in San Francisco. We were quite pleased with those aspects of the property.Two issues came up early in our stay and Howard was incredibly responsive. Both issues were resolved within a couple of hours of raising them. Howard treated us well and respected our privacy.The apartment is behind the garage in the main building and it faces the backyard. As a result, it was quiet and we had no trouble sleeping.The apartment is on the dark side with one window in the main living area and two in the bedroom. On a cloudy San Francisco day, this lacks the cheery feeling we needed. The place is comfortable but dark.The bathroom and kitchenette are very small. The kitchen sink sits beneath the counter, making it difficult to clean dishes. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby but eating in is challenging. Rental prices in San Francisco are extremely high. We were glad to find this property at a reasonable rate for our extended stay.

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!

Charming

It was a nice retreat after a busy day in the city. Pretty centrally located but still used an Uber to get around since we are older. Was not as close to some spots as I thought it would be but very well worth it. Felt very safe and was very quiet. A little outdated but was great for us if not looking for high class. The owner was wonderful and helpful.

This is a fabulous neighborhood. Great location. A few blocks from Golden Gate park. Beautiful (Safe) street. Best of all you can park in the garage!! In SF that is amazing!!Lovely 1 bedroom apartment, with large living room which has an extra bed, couch, table perfect for two. "Kitchenette" has sink, small refrigerator/freezer, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, hot water pot, utensils, cutting board etc. Perfect for accommodating snacks and take out meals. You're not going to full on cook here but no need as there are plenty of tasty restaurant/takeaway options nearby and of course all over the city.The owner lives upstairs and is a perfect host. Available and helpful. This is a really nice set up. Highly recommend!
