Me and my boyfriend stayed at Phil's Garden Studio in San Francisco over christmas and new year. We were expecting a peaceful place close to city with privacy and possibility to cook ourselves. That was all that this place also provided so it was a perfect stay! The place is just next to Golden Gate park and very convenient to access anywhere from SF with busses. Especially as a fan of Mission district, I loved the fact that bus 33 run just next to the apartment and passed the Haight-Ashbury on the way to Mission. And the bus 31 run from front of the flat to the city Center and Powell. Phil gave us very thorough instructions and answered all questions we had during our visit although it was holiday season and I'm sure also he wanted to take it easy with his family. After checkout he was kind to let us to leave our luggages on his place for the day before our flight took off. I can warmly recommend this place and would stay again when in SF! Happy New Year 2014 Phil and the family!
