About this property

Sunny Central Castro Garden Apartment w/ Private Deck

89 reviews with 4.93 Stars on AirBnB! Free parking and no cleaning fee.
A lovely, centrally located 2 bedroom with a private deck overlooking a large garden. 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Twin and 1 foldout Queen sleeps 4 total. The large, open living room overlooks the sunny garden and has a desk for working from home. An additional desk is available for the front bedroom. The back deck comes complete with teak table and chairs for al fresco working and dining. Netflix and Excellent Wifi. My place is good for couples, business travelers, family groups, and families with children 8 years of age or older.

The Space
A private escape for work and play in the heart of SF. This 2BR apartment is in the center of the Castro area, within blocks of both the dining and shopping of Castro St. and the green beauty of Dolores Park.

The apartment has a large, sunny garden with a private back deck overlooking the garden. It's the bottom story of a large Victorian house, and has lovely vintage details – a very San Francisco home. There are 2 bedrooms. The first is the primary bedroom, with a King bed and french doors that open onto a small, private deck. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a desk with comfortable office chair and 27" monitor. This bedroom has a large window facing the street. There is also a pull-out sofa bed in the living room. The primary bedroom and the living room pull-out bed are in the interior of the house and are quiet. The front bedroom window is triple-paned, but you can sometimes hear some noise from the street. Please note that the person making the reservation must be over 25. They can bring guests under that age, of course. A maximum of 8 people allowed on the premises at any given time, and 4 to sleep. This is my home, not a party house.

The kitchen is large, airy and well-stocked, with everything a cook could need, including a gas stove, a dishwasher, high quality pots and pans, and a set of real chef's knives. The bright and open living room has a dining table that can expand to seat 8, bay windows overlooking the garden, a large TV with Netflix and a DVD player tucked away in an antique armoire. The living room has a desk and printer, and a washer and dryer for your convenience. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo.

We take Covid 19 seriously. We keep the apartment empty for at least 24 hours in between guests, and are following the CDC enhanced cleaning guidelines. We also have disinfectant wipes, hand soap and hand sanitizer in the apartment for guests to use. Additional housecleaning is available during your stay.

If you need to cancel your reservation past the refund cut off time, I will refund you if I am able to find another guest who will book your dates.

Wonderful apartment in the heart of the Castro.
We stayed for a month at this property and were sad to leave. Muni station a short walk away, 33 bus stop across the street for direct transport to GGP or to restaurants on Valencia. Very safe neighborhood but I would remind all this is a very ADULT neighborhood. Beds are comfortable, well stocked kitchen, pet friendly yard. Living are is on the small side, but extends to a nice deck area with table and chairs. Bedroom can be noisy at times if people are walking up stairs at a late hour (not often an issue).I would HIGHLY recommend this location and hope to be back soon!

Great place for surgery recovery
The hosts were polite and communicative and helped us get settled. The back yard is beautiful, I wish I had been able to spend more time on the patio. The bed is on the soft side and there are plenty of extra down pillows. There was occasional loud walking upstairs, but nothing unbearable, and little to no street noise. The location is great, near my hospital and doctor, tons of delicious restaurants, a wonderful kitchen with gas range, plenty of fridge and freezer space for a longer stay. The teflon cookware was somewhat scratched from previous guests, but it wasn't a big issue for us. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Perfect apartment with great location
We could have not been happier with our stay three and a half month at Carmen’s apartment. The apartment is ideally located with close walking proximity to the Castro muni station as well as the J church line and the 33 bus line. It is only a five minute walk to Dolores Park and great French bakeries and numerous cafes and restaurants . The location can’t be beat. The apartment is beautifully decorated with a French country feel. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals which was a pleasure as it is an open concept with the living area. The living room looks out on a beautifully landscaped backyard which provided a relaxing retreat area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and our visits with the cutest little dog Emma and her owner who lived upstairs. We would highly recommend Carmen’s place to our friends and family and would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Carmen

Host profile image
I enjoy having people from all different parts of the world visit my city and my home. I frequently stay in vacation rentals myself, because I like to live like the locals and get to know a place in a new way. I love living here, and I look forward to sharing my city with you. My favorite other places are almost anywhere in France, New York, and anywhere my children (and grandchildren) live.

Why they chose this property

This house was built in 1907 by a German carpenter and his wife as a house for their family. Before it was built, the ground it stands held the stable for the horses that pulled the neighborhood firetruck! My family and I bought this place in 2008 and then restored it together. it's been very rewarding work to bring an old Victorian back to life.

What makes this property unique

I'd say the best thing about our house is that it's so centrally located, but this particular block we are on is a specially shaped one - 40% deeper than your standard SF lot, meaning that our backyards are much larger than average. Out front the bustle of the Castro is all around, but you wouldn't know it when you sit on the back deck in the sunshine, enjoying the birdsong.
