Overview
Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-3 adults or 1-2
A newly constructed, bright and modern apartment located in the heart of the trendy, sunny Mission District. The 500 square foot one-bedroom apartment is located on a quiet alley above a garage with a private entrance. A super quiet peaceful oasis after exploring the greatest neighborhood in SF.
The bedroom has a queen size bed and ample closet space. The living room/kitchen contains a sofa-bed and a flat screen TV. The eat-in kitchen is fully equipped with new modern appliances; refrigerator/freezer, convection stove, dishwasher, microwave/oven combo, cookware, utensils and tableware. The apartment has beautiful reclaimed wood floors, large windows and a modern full bathroom with a bathtub/shower and a washer/dryer.
The bedroom is private with a door. But whoever is on the pull-out couch needs to walk through the bedroom to use the bathroom. Therefore it's not really practical for more than 3 adults. It could work for 2 adults and 2 kids, but the kids would have to be small and have to share the pull-out. Please note that while kids are welcome, the apartment is not child proof and with it's modernist stylings you'll need to keep an eye on them a bit.
The Mission district is famous for having the best restaurants and nightlife in the city. Many cafes, restaurants, shops, clubs and parks are within easy walking distance. Destination restaurants nearby include flour+water, Heirloom Cafe, Schmidt's, Beretta, Local: Mission Eatery, Limon, Range and Spork, Mission Chinese Food and Foreign Cinema. Cafes include Mission Pie, Philz, Sugar Lump and Dynamo. Humphry Slocomb's famous ice cream is just a few blocks away. Enjoy a short hike up Bernal Hill or a stroll along Valencia Street or 24th Street and enjoy some shopping.
The 24th BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station is 5 minute walk (four blocks away) providing easy access to downtown, the airport and the East and South Bay.

About David Forer
We bought the main home on the property aver 15 years ago - it was a beautiful old 1870s San Francisco Victorian. About 6 years ago we decided to satisfy our modernist cravings by designing and building an apartment on top of the garage at the back of the property. Since then it's been used for friends, family, and guests like you!
David Forer purchased this apartment in 2011
Why David Forer chose San Francisco
San Francisco, like any other big city, can be frenetic, and that is doubly true for the Mission District! But this apartment is quiet and peaceful, tucked into a laneway in the middle of all the action. A true urban oasis!

Perfect place
Great location and amenities. Spotless, great host, wonderful binder full of information and recommendations.
Great location in heart of city. Feel like a resident not a tourist
So if you are looking for a traditional tourist experience, this is probably not the place for you. But if you want to feel like you are a local, then stay here. It's in the heart of the mission district and a cheap uber ride anywhere. I had a rental car and was always able to find a spot one street over on Shotwell. There are great local restaurants around and plenty of dive bars. These are neighborhood hangouts not tourist traps. If that's what you want hit up Pier 39. I did that as well as Alcatraz and both have amazing views but they are the traditional tourist things. It's nice to do all that during the day then come back to evenings off the beaten path. Definitely check out The Spice Jar which was some of the best Asian fusion I've ever had. Zoe's is a cool hip dive bar and Big Rec Taproom has amazing burgers and craft beer. I had Italian downtown at Quince and it's not in Little Italy but it was still incredible. But back to the apartment. It's over a garage and if you are not used to city noises bring earplugs, but I slept well. It's somewhat on a dark street but there is a light overhead which is more than I can say for most of the mission. The streets are dark. If I were a single female I would probably stay more in the downtown area. Even though I had several run ins with the local homeless and early 7am drinkers close by they were pretty harmless. The Aptmt has key code entry so it's quick to get in and out. I was cautious but it's big city life so just be aware of your surroundings and you should be fine. No complaints at all about the accommodations. Comfy bed. Huge shower. Brand new remodeled abode and 100 year old plank flooring. Best of both worlds. The hosts were awesome, checking in several times and offering suggestions on things to do when local events were happening. David was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I've tried to give an honest review but I'd gladly come stay again. Enjoy the city.
The perfect place!
Our active family of four (kids 10&12) loved staying at this apartment. It is stylish, clean, comfortable and a great location. We like staying in neighborhoods to get a sense of city living. Taking BART into town is super easy and quick. We had a car and never had a problem with parking. The guest book by the owners is super helpful (and well-written) and gives suggestions for restaurants and activities. I really recommend staying here!
Great apartment!
This apartment is really beautiful. The design is great. It was clean and near a lot of coffee/food options.
Excellent Stay
This is a really lovely bright clean apartment set above the garage of Melinda and David's house. Although they live just across the garden, we never saw them (I always find this odd with these type of rentals that you rarely meet the landlord/lady) but knew that they were there if needed. The reservation process was so easy with very good email contact and the security deposit was returned very quickly.
The bedroom had lots of storage space and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great bathroom with an excellent shower in the very large bath. Enough crockery and cutlery for cooking but have to admit we ate out every night - it's holiday time, right? Lots of choice to eat in and around the district and obviously further afield. Locally, Rosamunde's Grill does some very nice German sausages with a number of beers from around the world. We especially liked Scoma's at Fisherman's Wharf although the rest of that area is rather tacky. Dorian's over in the Marina district was also extremely good. Close by is Mission Pie - we frequented it either on the way out... or the way back......
We purchased the 7 day MUNI ticket for $35 each and used it on all the buses, trams, cable cars - it was a steal, really, and a great way to get around SF – and we did!! It doesn't cover the BART, though. Bus stop (12) stops right outside the front of Melinda's house - in case you don't know (and we didn't to start with) some of the bus stops are just yellow paint on a lamp post. This is one of them!!
We would definitely recommend this excellent apartment.
Hidden Comfort
After a taxi drove us down a dark back lane where every wall and door was covered with complex graffiti, our expectations for this flat had come to be pretty low. But once we unlocked what seemed to be the only door on the lane that was graffiti-less and climbed a flight of stairs, we found herself in a tastefully decorated sunny apartment equipped with comfortable furniture and top-of-the-line appliances--not what you'd expect to find atop a garage. The apartment was almost always quiet (the only exception being the occasional opening of the garage door down below, which could then be heard sliding up pretty dramatically just about a foot under the bed). But despite the general calm, it's only about a five minute walk to a BART station, and not much further to a number of excellent restaurants on Valencia. After reading frightening reports from other freaked-out SF visitors online about the army of homeless people in San Francisco, I expected the Mission district to be more unsettling that we might have preferred. But this apartment, and the lane it's on, and the streets around it, seemed to be very peaceful--albeit with a lot of interesting and unthreatening street life nearer the BART station. Of the ten or so flats we've rented in the US and various places in Europe, this one turned out to be one of the better experiences. I recommend it.
