About this property

Private Garden Room in Victorian Home!

Please read all of the information in this listing before booking.

Beautiful private in-law/studio unit on the ground floor of 130 year old Noe Valley Victorian located between the bustling Mission District, hip Valencia Corridor and quaint Noe Valley. Modern convenience set among old-world charm: private entrance to come and go as you please, private bathroom, efficiency kitchenette, desk/workspace & wifi, alongside a shared deck & shared laundry. We are walking distance to all the fabulous treasures our neighborhood has to offer and to public transit.

The space is an in-law/studio unit below our home (where we live). It is completely private. The only entrance is through our garage.

As we share the garage, please wear a mask at all times when you are in the garage. You can take your mask(s) off when you enter your private room.

It consists of one room with comfy queen size bed, a desk/workspace that doubles as a breakfast table & chairs, a comfy chair, and two closets. An efficiency kitchenette in the room consists of mini-fridge, microwave, electric kettle, coffeemaker, dishes, silverware, corkscrew (**please note this is not a full kitchen but is perfect for reheating leftovers from the many restaurants in our neighborhood**). The private bathroom features Italian marble shower (no tub) and lots of cabinets. Hardwood floors throughout. Hi Speed WiFi, flatscreen TV with DirecTV. French doors provide natural light and lead to a shared backyard & deck with fruit trees (plums are ripe in the summer and can be plentiful- help yourself!). Laundry facilities (washer, dryer, iron) are in the garage and available for your use.

The room is a relaxing retreat from the bustling city, and the deck is a beautiful place to sit and relax in one of the sunniest neighborhoods in San Francisco. The space is ideal for one or two people. We have added a trampoline and chicken coop to the back yard, but it is still quiet and peaceful. Children are welcome and there is a portable crib in the closet. We renovated this unit specifically for guests, and we hope you enjoy it!

Guest access: This is an in-law/studio unit below our home, with its own entry through our garage. You will be provided with a keypad code so you can come and go without worrying about keys or about disturbing us.

You can check in any time after 4 pm, even if it's late. If you want to come earlier, you can check with us and if the room is ready, we'll let you in early. You’re also welcome to leave your bags in the garage until check-in time.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
We welcome Instant Bookings! If your arrival is within two weeks, please let us know to ensure we can schedule a cleaning service for your stay. Thank you.

ENTRANCE:
The only entrance is through our garage.

IMPORTANT REGARDING NOISE: We are a family of four and our kitchen is directly above the guest unit. We have children who can be noisy. We do not wear shoes in our home and make every effort to be considerate but you can still hear our footsteps, voices, and an occasional child yelling or singing loudly when we're in the kitchen (old building, thin walls). Most of our guests are not bothered by this, but it can be an issue especially around mealtimes (early weekday mornings and early evenings - we are rarely in the kitchen late at night), and on weekends. We also share walls with our neighbors, so you may hear sounds coming from the homes on either side of the room as well. You may also hear our garage door open and close.

PARKING: Street parking in our neighborhood is limited to 2 hours, Monday through Friday between 8 am and 6 pm. This means you can park at 4 pm and leave your car overnight until 10 am on weekdays, except on street sweeping days, which are posted by the city. There is no street parking during the day on weekdays. On weekends and holidays parking is usually free and unlimited. Please read and respect all posted parking rules. We are not responsible if you get a ticket.

GARAGE DOOR: When leaving the room, the garage door needs to be closed from the keypad on the outside of the garage door, the same one used to enter the garage from the street. Please DO NOT pull the red emergency cord (unless it is an emergency) as it de-activates all other methods of opening and closing the garage door. Please wait 30 seconds after closing the garage door before you walk away to make sure it closes all the way.

Security Cameras:
There is a garage door keypad camera, two security cameras in the garage and one in the back yard (so that we can watch our chickens). There are no security cameras in the Private Garden Room.

No parties or unregistered guests.

The short and long of it

TLDR: yes, you should stay here. Read more if you want to, but this is a recommendation. The neighbourhood is amazing, to start. Clean, diverse, with great restaurants and a grocery store right down the road. The place itself is small but clean. Little touches, like the binder of suggestions for places to visit and the best (the BEST) pillows I have ever slept on were so appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could keep a place looking that nice in a climate that humid. And that's where the downsides came. It never dried out in there. We had the fan on in the bathroom for hours and our towels never dried. There were also little things like no spare towels and an ironing board but no iron. When we asked for spares, they were supplied in good time, but with no additional communication from the host. That's really where the star was lost. There are very strict rules for staying in the place, with monetary charges if they weren't followed (don't leave any stains on any of the linen and must turn the bathroom fan on or the fire department will show up.) Between that and the complete lack of communication from the host, there was a feeling like they set everything up lovely, but really discouraged hearing from us after that. This went both ways though, in that we didn't hear anything from them. We were warned that there was a family in the house above us, but we barely heard a footstep. Very pleasant neighbours. In summary: visit SF, stay here, ask for more towels early.

We had a great stay at this property! Noah was very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly when they came up. It is a single room/studio arrangement but there is a nice patio with a picnic table which was a nice bonus.

Wonderful neighborhood close to 24th and transportation. Had everything. Closet space is a bit awkward - they could move some stuff to supply closet. But perfect for 1-2 people. Loved the view to the garden. Chickens are quiet. Enjoyable stay. WIsh I could have stayed longer!

Great stay if you are in SF for work

The location is 8 min walk from the BART system. It's a quiet area of SF. The room is clean and you have all what you need. Water pressure is good. Microwave works well. Nice large enough fridge. Abundance of tea choices provided, along with coffee. The room is attached to the garage through which you access. The room is below the owners house. The floors are thin and you will hear them walk and talk. It didn't bother me as I left early in the morning and they seem to go to bed relatively early. But napping during the day may be difficult. Otherwise, it is a great room.

Quintessential San Francisco house

Great location. Great shower and water pressure! The checkin process was easy. A little tricky dragging your luggage through the carport and to the side of the personal vehicle they had in there. You will definitely want to bring earplugs as the family lives upstairs and can easily be heard moving around since it’s an older home. Cute little touches like the dove chocolates left for us next to the coffee pot. Also enjoyed the sounds of the chickens in the backyard but I realize some might not like that. All in all would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

This is our home. We believe that it is on the best corner of the planet perfectly situated between the neighborhoods of the Mission and Noe Valley.
