Sara’s garden apartment is only a block and a half from Haight Street, but it was private, peaceful, and totally secure. We felt very safe and comfortable there. Sara is a thoughtful host with bevvies in the fridge ready for our arrival and area guide books. Her home is cozy and adorable. San Francisco evenings can be chilly, so there is a gas-powered fireplace to keep you warm. Although we did visit Muir Woods and Alcatraz on outings, there’s plenty to do just in the neighbourhood. Explore the affordable vintage clothing shops, as well as many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and Gus’s Market on Haight Street. Golden Gate Park is a short walk away with nature trails, world class museums, and a free shuttle bus at the end of Haight Street to take you around the park’s attractions. We loved our stay at Sara’s place and really started to feel like locals instead of tourists. Such a groovy place to stay! Thanks, Sara.
