Fantastic stay and location to USF. Howard is an amazing host that takes great pride in his property. Great communication. Bed is super comfortable and accurate postings.
The host greeted my family in person and made sure they had everything they needed. When a massive power outage in the city took out most of the surrounding blocks, he made sure we had flashlights and candles, just in case the rental might lose power (it didn't, by some twist of good fortune). It was the perfect location for us, and the stay was seamless.
Great location, comfy accomodations and our host was superb -giving us guides to local food and sights that were absolutely perfect. Highly recommend! Having a garage parking spot was a super bonus.
Wonderful location on a quiet street. Walking distance to several good restaurants. The apartment is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Howard is a great host; easy to reach and very responsive. We loved having the garage /driveway to park in so had no worries about parking.
Such a cute neighborhood, very walkable, felt very safe. My biggest complaint would be that its not very soundproof and the pillows on the bed were not very comfortable.

There are seven pillows available all told, two big and firm, the others smaller and softer; I'm sorry you couldn't find one that worked for you.
By "not very sound proof," I guess you mean that you didn't hear street sounds, or the elevator, or screaming in the corridor, or the neighbor's loud music, but the little sounds of the ceiling of an old house creaking when I walked barefoot on the floor.... Sorry.
Kitchen setup was perfect for snacks and water bottle storage. We mostly ate out or went to the local coffee house for our morning coffee. Parking was excellent, especially for smaller cars. House was extremely clean. We have nothing negative to say.
Had a great stay at Howard’s property. It is the lower level of a house, very nice having a garage if renting a vehicle. Very safe area and close access to Golden Gate Park and Muni buses. Howard was accommodating and met upon arrival. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. If looking for a place to stay in the Richmond district or near Golden Gate Park, this is a great option!
Beautiful home in a nice and quiet location. Its not two separate bedrooms, just 1 bedroom with another bed in the living room area but still provided exactly what we needed to be comfortable for out stay and have our privacy. Didn't really utilize the kitchen area as our goal was to explore the city, but location was absolutely wonderful for that! House made old house noises as part of its charm
