My crew and I had an amazing time in San Francisco and definitely Garland’s place had everything to do with it. We stayed for five days during the New Years celebration and I describe this apartment as the perfect headquarter.

The place is very cozy, perfect for couples or to get good rest if you are planning to party hard with friends by the bay area.

Everything is very new, modern and clean. Garland told us he just rebuilt the apartment, so the furniture in the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room are in the best conditions. Don’t be surprised when you see all kinds of technological devices such as automatic trash can, soap pump and bathroom lights. In Garland’s place, you definitely have ALL you need and more!! Kitchen utensils, fast internet, cable tv, good central heating, extremely confortable queen-sized beds and all kinds of games (there is an Atari too!).

Garland is a very kind host and easily approachable. He received us very well by showing us how everything works and where we could find each utensil. By the time we arrived he had already provided milk, juice, cereal, bread, butter and other things we could enjoy before doing our own grocery shopping. He is very caring and everyday would come to see if we nedeed anything. (He lives upstairs)

On New Year’s Eve we were pretty loud but Garland didn’t complain at all. He really seems to be a very nice guy. Great host!

The Portola neighborhood is nice and quiet and not far from the main areas of the city. We rarely used our car because finding parking is near impossible and can be quite expensive in the city. We mostly used Lyft or B.A.R.T. (their public train). There is a good place for groceries just across the street and a gas station and a pizza place that stays open late at night.

Well, I don’t know what else to say but thanks Garland for those great days. I would definitely come back!!
