Simple comforts, sweet stay
Tucked away behind the privacy fence, the entryway leads through an herb garden in BBQ heaven. The space is clean & well lit, inviting with simple comforts. Mini fridge and a quick heating hot pot was all I needed kitchen-wise but if you want to cook a meal, look elsewhere. Great hot shower, comfortable bed and WiFi everywhere. Easy Uber pick up and plenty of dining options two blocks away on Geary. Definitely recommend and will try to stay again in future.

Owner blew me off
I booked an original date to stay and had to change. At the time the owner was more than willing to accommodate my date change when I did this a month in advance of the original date booked. A week prior to my stay he said he had double booked and said he couldn’t allow me to stay anymore. Granted he did refund me in full but acted like this was my fault and put me in quite a tough position as I was meeting friends flying out of state.

Great location
My fiance and I were in town for some concerts and this was a great location/home base. The host was extremely friendly and easy to work with-- including accommodating an earlier check-in. They even ran out for spare toilet paper when the roll ran out! The cottage is less private than we expected. The laundry area is shared with upstairs tenants and they accessed it a few times while we were there -- once we were caught unawares and once they called for permission-- but there is no lock between shared area and unit. You can also hear the upstairs tenants walking about and talking. It's a nice and quirky unit. The bed, shower and amenities were nice but it is musty and there were several spiders, as are to be expected in a ground unit.

Peaceful cozy location
We enjoyed this cozy space to rest and eat between long tourist outings. The bed is warm and so comfy! It’s convenient to a bus line, street parking was easy and the outdoor garden with heater was relaxing at night.

Great location and host
Fantastic location, really convenient corner store right next door. Giuliano responded quickly to our questions, and was very friendly. Make sure you are not planning on cooking, as there is no kitchen besides a mini fridge (but restaurants are plentiful and within walking distance). Also a great outdoor space, but it was unfortunately raining the majority of our trip!

My partner and I rented this space for OSL and it was an absolute dream. Such a great location with a cozy bed and beautiful garden out front. There was one minor hiccup during check in, which Giuliano was more than helpful with. (TIP: confirm the entry codes before check in, as Vrbo sent the old information and was not helpful throughout the process of fixing this.) Highly recommend this absolute gem of a place and host!!!

Location, location, location
My daughter recently graduated from USF and lived 12 blocks from this location. I walked those 12 blocks daily and many more. So much to see and do within walking distance. Ocean Beach, Lands End, the Presidio, Golden Gate Park, Farmer's Market and so many restaurants to choose from all a walk away. The bedroom/bathroom were about all I used during my stay. The courtyard is as shown...very welcoming. I would stay here again. Rick

relaxing getaway
This is a great location. The location is very quiet and relaxing. It is not a busy location. We stayed at the property bc my daughter was participating in a dance summer intensive in San Fransisco. There are 2 bus lines that are very close to the location that gets you into the city. You do not need to transfer to get to market street on either of these 2 lines. Parking is not a struggle at all. You just need to look at the signs. Our stay was very relaxing and pretty seamless. We were able to use the washer and dryer. Guiliano and his partner have great communication and there were no issues there. On the second day, Guiliano provided great places to eat. Our stay overall was pretty comfortable and we would definitely stay here again without thinking twice. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Great weekend location
The owner was incredibly helpful with a small check-in snafu. Despite being out-of-town, he immediately got help and solved the problem. He was very responsive. The apartment is clean and cheerful. The area feels very safe. We loved the location. At night, we could hear the fog horns in the distance. It's a short walk to both the Golden Gate Park with its museums and gardens, and the Presidio with its wonderful trails and views over the bay. There is a basic and friendly neighborhood store next door and many restaurants, coffee shops and bigger food stores a few blocks away. Street parking is easy. We were very happy with our VRBO choice.
