Parking: The Garden Suite doesn't have an assigned parking space, there is a driveway available for loading/unloading. San Francisco is, in general, not an easy-parking city. However, by SF standards, our neighborhood is considered to be a relatively easy neighborhood for parking, which means that guests can typically find a space within a block from the unit. But if you would like to park next to the building we can buy Visitor Parking Permit for you from the city of San Francisco. Please ask me about the arrangement.

The Unique Benefits at this Castle
We love how it is so close to the Golden Gate Park attractions, horse riding and more. Renting the paddle boat on the beautiful lake, bike riding, going to the breathtaking waterfall and being close to nature while being in the middle of everything San Francisco has to offer.

Apartment clean and extraordinarily comfortable. We will be back for sure.

This place is just as it is advertised. It is a wonderful place. The property is in a great location, close to UCSF, Golden State Park, and public transportation. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. The suite is clean and well equipped. Michael is a gracious and accommodating host. Should the need arise that we need a place to stay in San Francisco, we will definitely contact Michael first.

Michael was helpful and efficent and very prompt. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner in the flat and found the kitchen to be well stocked. My husband was a patient at UCSF and the walk was refreshing after long days in the hospital. I would recommend this flat to another small family as it was spacious and in a safe neighborhood.

Wonderful Stay at The Castle Garden Suite, although too short....
Guest: Michelle M.
Date of Stay: 10/23/11
Review Submitted: 10/26/11
My stay was a quick three-days, but delightful, I must say. I was greeted by the owner, Michael, who clearly has put his 110% into his well and thoroughly appointed in-law unit. The space was equipped with absolutely everything, with frozen snacks for the tired traveler to boot. The photographs don't do it enough justice. Not to mention that it was immaculate and the garden is absoIutley stunning. I most especially liked Mike though, for his open-mindedness and welcoming my assistance-dog (11 month old). I really thought he would send us away, but he held confidence to the end and maintained a positive attitude. This is unprecedented for a homeowner of such a flawless space, in my opinion! 5 stars to the quality of the space, decor, neighborhood, and 10 stars to Mike. Bravo!

My wife and I just had a wonderful weekend staying in the Castle 1st floor apartment. Michael was a wonderful host who walked us through the whole place with great detail and showed us everything we needed to know about his place and the neighborhood. Public transportation is just blocks away and the apartment is clean with everything you need. There was no issue with parking or getting good sleep at night, not a noisy city-like neighborhood. I would absoutely reccomend staying here. Thank you Michael, you were a great host!!

Review Submitted: 10/11/11
We stayed at Michael's apartment for a few nights this fall. It was exactly as advertised. Michael greeted us and got us familiar with everything: TV, computer, washer/dryer, etc. It is an easy walk to a vibrant neighborhood and Golden Gate Park. We have stayed at over 20 VRBO properties over the years. This unit is well appointed, clean, and a very fair price. We highly recommend it.
Owner response:We await for new good Guests. 310-345-7375 Thank you, Michael

Comfortable and Cozy Place
Guest: N
(Seattle, WA)
Date of Stay: 08/20/11
Review Submitted: 09/10/11
To start with, the listing is quite accurate and the pictures accurately describe the place. The apartment is also nicely located, with a ton of restaurants and grocery stores in close proximity. It also happens to be very close to the Golden Gate Bridge and other downtown locations. When we arrived, Michael was very welcoming. The apartment had a nicely stocked kitchen, a nice wall-mounted television set in the living room and another TV in the bedroom, a phone, laptop and a nice patio. On reaching, Michael patiently went throught all the details of the apartment, showed us around and took us through the details of parking and going around. Michael was also accomodating, The dryer broke when we were there and Michael was nice enough to let us use the drier which was in the garage. We found it very easy to get to anywhere from there and enjoyed our stay there. The only downside is that parking is a little difficult, but then where in downtown SFO would you get parking easily. You can usually find some parking up the street from the apartment. Overall we would certainly recommend it to anybody.

Neat little spot

Date of Stay: 08/25/11
Review Submitted: 09/02/11
As mentioned the location is a very good one, close enough to the city center but just outside enough that you don't hear the big city bustle in the background. Felt really safe walking the neighborhood late at night. Micheal is very nice and accommodating; for example the dryer broke and he let us use his dryer in his suite. Suite is nicely stocked as well. Only downside was there was scratching & rustling in the bedroom wall at night, which made sleeping at night difficult at times - not necessarily the owners fault.

August 15th - 18th at the Golden Gate Castle

Review Submitted: 08/26/11
After a long flight it was great to be greeted by Michael and welcomed to the GCC. The apartment is very spacious and clean and worked great for our party of four - two adults & two kids. Michael provided plenty of information, including maps and a computer so we could plan out our days in SF. The N Judah is very close by providing easy access to Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. Golden Gate park is withing walking distance and is very big. If you are planning on going there, allow plenty of time. we shopped at Roxy's, and ate at Milano's & Pacific Catch, all withing walking distance of GCC. The house had a great backyard and was very relaxing, our kids loved it! Of all of our hosts on our California trip, Michael was our favorite. Would highly recommend!
