This cottage was my SF home for over a month and I can't recommend it enough. It is an adorable 2 storey miniature house tucked in a delightful garden with chicken!
Because I stayed there for a while, I think I should write an extended review. Things I love about it:
1 - While small (the base footprint of the house is about 200sqft), it is very well laid out and feels much bigger, with a separate living room and dining room+ kitchen.
2 - It is very bright and you're always right next to window (one of the great benefit of a small house).
3 - It is modern, clean and well furnished. The place is stylish, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen utensils good quality, and the wifi is lightning fast (for the geeks: generally over 100Mbps download, 30Mbps upload, and great wifi signal as there a mesh router in the middle of the house, which means high quality video calls).
4 - The place is very quiet. This is a standalone building in the middle of a garden, away from the street, in a quiet neighborhood. You wake up to the sound of hens doing their thing (these are hens, not roosters - they are quiet, playful and adorable).
5 - The owners live in the main house across the garden. They are wonderful landlords/hosts: friendly, helpful and great conversation, but also very discreet and respectful.
6 - The owners have two small dogs and a cat who come out the garden every once in a while. They, with the 3 chicken, the squirrels on the tree and the occasional raccoons at night makes it feel sometimes like you're living in a children's picture book.
7 - The location, halfway between Castro and Noe Valley, is extremely convenient. Eureka St is the least steep street crossing liberty hill between the two neighborhood, which means you're a relatively easy 10mins walk from the center of either neighborhood, while the house itself is in a quiet mini-neighborhood with a cafe around the corner.
I don't really have anything to complain about, but as a reminder - while this place is wonderful for a solo traveller it probably would be too small for a couple (the bed upstairs is twin size).
