Patrick was a gracious and hospitable host and I recommend his studio as an excellent value. He was very easy to reach during the booking process and very accommodating when I met him in person. The studio had more space than I expected- 2 rooms, a twin bed, couch, and even an air mattress available for extra guests.

The studio has 2 entrances that are both separate from the main house so I could come and go without disturbing his family. Light sleepers might take note that some sounds (footsteps) are audible from upstairs, but I only noticed it briefly in the morning.

I was able to easily find a bus stop in the evening and felt safe walking around the residential area at night. In fact, it was really nice to feel like I was in a residential neighborhood after so much traveling through the city. In the morning, I walked 1 block and found myself in Golden Gate Park! The location is really amazing and Patrick’s studio is within walking distance to some great SF attractions.

Patrick was the perfect host- he had even stocked the studio fridge with water, juice, and yogurt for breakfast! He also showed me how to work the heater and provided me with extra Japanese-style blankets in case I got cold. The whole place was very clean, comfortable, and well cared for.
