A lovely and private spot in the Richmond District of San Francisco. We brought our 4 year-old for a wedding and vacation and rented a car, but we walked enough that I could certainly see staying here for a car-free trip. There are lots of playgrounds, parks, markets, and restaurants around as well as some fun shops on Geary. For the car, street parking in the evenings and on weekends is simple enough. During weekdays (9am-6pm) it's 2-hour parking and every other Wednesday is the street cleaning, but we also found a spot within a block or two. And of course, never keep anything you don't mind losing in the car. (That goes especially for Golden Gate park; don't even lock the car.)
The Garden Suite itself is well appointed and clean (and well lit) just as depicted in the pictures. The bathroom is not massive and uses a pocket door, but we got along quite well. The kitchen, dining set-up, apple tv, and large living room were all key to why we wanted a suite. Room to play and live, and enjoy vacation. The bedroom is roomy as well though it lacks its own TV, we found it easy to have three peoples' worth of luggage and clothing in the bedroom without tripping over anything and letting the rest of the suite be. We would roll out the bottom of the daybed at night for the little one and then tuck it back away in the morning. There were plenty of clean linens and a nice assortment of kitchen essentials. The bedroom bed is very nice looking but could function better. The day bed and couch are very smart. Check-in was a breeze as was the checkout (I always opt to pay for cleaning). We used the washer and dryer (a stackable in a closet outside the suite) a few times during the trip and it makes all the difference to have it. The area around is generally very quiet (no loud people or vehicles that I can recall the whole trip), and the semiprivate path to the suite uses motion activate lighting, which is very useful in the dark.
