Property worked well for 3 adults travelling together. Quick walk to the BART and easy commute to the downtown area and AT&T stadium. Clean and tidy, looked just like the photos.
We stayed with my daughter while visiting my son. The location is excellent - close to transit (Bart, Muni) and to the highway, with a secure, dedicated place to park on the property. The property is great - 2 large bedrooms, comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen. Theatres, malls, and groceries were a short drive (or Uber) away. Move in instructions were easy. There was also a welcome guide with info about the house, restaurant and tourist suggestions, and a collection of tour books. Kristine emailed the first day to make sure things were going well. Overall a great stay!
Kristine's cottage was a terrific place to stay for our family of two adults and two small kids. She was very responsive through the whole process and even provided us with a car seat, toys, books and crayons for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked, including kids tableware, but could also use some kids cups. The snacks were a nice welcome too :) The cottage is exactly as pictured. As others have mentioned, you can hear the hum of the highway, but it is constant so you get used to it. The location of the cottage is convenient for those not driving as the Muni stops right out in front, and the Bart is not too far to walk. However, there is also a parking spot if you need one which is handy. It's gated in, so we felt pretty safe during our stay. Her gardens are so nice, and you are welcomed with a beautiful smell when you step outside even though the highway is below. The only thing I would suggest for improvement, would be for a more thorough cleaning before the stay but overall the cottage was tidy. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to San Francisco.
This cottage was a perfect place for two couples to spend a week in San Francisco. It was well furnished, the TV had some great channels, and there were plenty of supplies for cooking and doing laundry. The owner also provided some nice snacks and travel books with great suggestions for things to do. The neighborhood around the cottage is not very attractive but the cottage is very secure and it's located very close to public transportation: metro and BART. We were quite happy with our stay.
It was great being there. We enjoyed ourselves, particularly as we had our son and his wife with us during that 6 day period.
Kristine's Garden Cottage worked out very well for our family for our extended stay in San Francisco. Having on-site parking was very important. Since we were there for an extended stay, the washer, dryer and kitchen was very helpful. Greatly appreciated Kristine's quick responses to any of our inquiries. Thanks again!
Kristine's garden cottage was the perfect place for my family. My husband, daughter and baby granddaughter stayed in the cottage while we visited our other daughter in the Outer Mission. It was just a 10 minute walk to her house, and a very short walk to the Balboa Park Station. The cottage is well equipped and spotless, with very good kitchen appliances. It also has a washer and dryer, which was priceless for us with a little one. The gated yard allowed us privacy, a view of the hillsides, and a very convenient place to park. Kristine's family had orchids and plants in the yard, and it is a peaceful setting. Kristine left welcome snacks, some basics like soaps, coffee, some spices, tea, etc. She was immediately responsive when I contacted her before and during the trip. I'm sure we will book this property when we visit again in a couple of months.
Great location, Muni right out front that takes you everywhere.
Kristine's place is nicely updated. The place was clean and had a very nice feel to it. It has a great kitchen if you like to cook. It also has off street parking. It has very convenient walking access to Balboa Park BART. It was a great place to stay. Would definitely come back. The only downside is that the neighborhood is only ok and the place is right overlooking the highway and you can hear the constant hum of traffic.
Everything was there starting from the usual like dishes, pots and pans over tissues in every room(!), soap for the washing machine up to tupperware-like boxes to our some stuff in the fridge. As we had record-breaking temperatures we found an additional fan at the front door, and Kristines husband within minutes when we had issues with the TV.. The only thing which was not perfect was a bit of noise from the motorway next to the location, but it was not that bad. Overall we had a very pleasant stay. Thanks a lot Kristine!
