Behind an unassuming green door in Potrero Hill is an amazing garden with several charming guest suites. My husband and I stayed in the Garden Lookout while visiting friends in the neighborhood for a long weekend, and we had a fabulous time.

Kepa is a wonderful host. Friendly, accommodating and she introduced us to a car service called Lyft, which was a terrific way to get around town. She also clearly has a very green thumb because, as I mentioned above, the garden was stunning. It's a great spot to sit with a cup of coffee and a book.

Highly recommended. We'll definitely stay there again the next time we go back to San Francisco.
