Beautiful Private Garden Apt. Nr. Golden Gate Park
We built this apartment with the thought that someday we would live in it ourselves. Thus, we chose to go "high end" with construction materials, fixtures, linens, and cookware. The apartment opens to our backyard garden, with a patio and bocce court. In the Inner Richmond, two blocks from Golden Gate Park, we are in a safe neighborhood, close to main bus lines, museums, great restaurants, and beautiful hikes. I have consistently been a Superhost since I started hosting, 14 years ago.
