The cozy garden cottage is a perfect bolt hole - charming, comfortable and well appointed with everything you might need from snacks to hair straighteners to extra (very fluffy) towels and facecloths. This listing is great value, very convenient, very safe and friendly residential neighbourhood location, very secure and private and extremely quiet. Perfect for getting a good night’s sleep. Also, it packs character, personality and style over and above. The secret garden ticked away behind a sturdy gate is beautiful, colourful, extremely scented and lit up in the evening with twinkly lights that pick out the calla lillies and geraniums. The house and surrounding streets are archetypal of SF architecture with colourful wooden houses and as a first time visitor to the city I really valued being in a home with a strong sense of place. I would strongly recommend anyone travelling alone or in a couple to stay here and soak up the character and charm.
