Potrero Hill Garden Getaway

Kepa and the Garden Getaway were an incredible AirBnb experience. Everything was clearly labeled, instructions were easy to navigate and Kepa was a wonderful host. I plan to stay here during my regular business trips to San Francisco in the future.

I always stay there when in San Francisco, like staying with a friend, but with privacy for each. And each unit has a different sensibility so I move around. Everything there set out from the guest's perspective--you will find the wifi password in all the places you would logically expect to find it, you don't need help to turn anything on (like cable), there are ample towels, and tissue--have just never found I was without anything that I needed, or forgot. Great neighborhood also. My 21 year old even fell in love with Kepa!

Great stay in a clean bright 1-bedroom. Kepa happened to be coming home right when I arrived and we had a lovely conversation. She gave me the tips on the local restaurants which are a quick 1 1/2 blocks away. Portrero is the sunniest part of the city and a quick 5 minute walk to my office, so it's the perfect place to stay for me. I'll be back!

Kepa was extremely nice and informative! She even met up with us when we initially arrived and that made us feel even more welcome. Her place is great and very convenient to go around the whole city. Thanks again Kepa!

I cannot recommend Kepa's getaway highly enough. It manages to strike the perfect balance between being quintessentially san franciscan (the bay windows and classic bathroom style) while still providing some unique touches that are hard to find in the city (the outdoor shower and immaculate garden). Kepa was an incredible host, quick with an excellent recommendation and truly interested in her Guests' experiences. I spent most of my time there sending messages to my wife about how excited I was to come back and share with her this wonderful place.

Kepa is just so efficient and the place is lovely --- easy parking and v close to Dogpatch and the coolest parts of SF

The Garden Getaway was really lovely -- a true oasis in the city! The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. And it came with great internet. The spare toiletries in the bathroom were a nice, homey touch. The garden itself was tranquil and lovely. I hope to come back when it's not so rainy and enjoy that and the outdoor shower more.

Kepa was great as well -- immediately available when I had trouble with the lock box and very helpful in recommending restaurants and taxi services.

Would not hesitate to recommend or stay again!

My parents stayed at Kepa's while they were visiting and had a fantastic time. This is what they had to say:

"We just arrived home in Wisconsin from a fantastic AirB&B run by Kepa on 157th Missouri Ave. San Francisco. I definitely would recommend this charming home away from home. We had very clean accommodations, beautiful outdoor gardens, and an extremely friendly host. I would stay here again, it was very easy location to our daughter and we felt that all the things that were offered went beyond the normal expectations of a 5 star hotel. We had a super comfortable bed, small kitchen to make coffee in the morning with snacks provided. Also the AirB&B offered maps and recommendations of restaurants in the area. I was very, very pleased."

A great studio at the base of Potrero Hill. Kepa's architectural background is evident from the moment you walk in the door. The layout of the complex is beautiful, and this studio is bright, immaculately clean, very well furnished and extremely comfortable. I immediately felt at home, and Kepa's attention to detail and care for her guests is evident.

The Garden Getaway was the perfect landing spot for my work trip. It was homey while also being immaculately clean and stylishly furnished — a restive retreat within walking distance of our Portrero offices, and many great bars and restaurants. Kepa was immediately responsive and helpful throughout my stay from booking to check-out. I find myself coming up with reasons to visit our SF offices just to stay here again!

Kepa has a fantastic little City Oasis going! Really nice place, well supplied and set up nicely. She was very cool, and had no problems with my ever-changing schedule, etc. Very accommodating and super friendly. I will likely stay there again.
Thanks, Kepa for making my first AirBnB experience so great!

We stayed at the Garden Cabana! It was all that we had hoped for. The place was beautiful! It was such a nice escape from the city and traditional hotels. When we first arrived, Kepa was there to greet us and had local brews ready for us in the fridge. We enjoyed sitting in the garden, which is full of plants and comfortable places to sit. The room itself was cozy and comfortable. We were only able to stay one night and wished we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. It's gorgeous, comfortable, and Kepa is such an excellent host!

We stayed in The Garden Lookout for a quick overnight date. The only thing that would have improved it would have been staying longer and having time to sit in the gardens. Kepa was an amazing hostess. Our unit was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The location was great; we could walk to things in several directions. And we even got gardening tips. We will SO be back.

I stayed at the cabana for one night while I had a wedding in San Francisco. Parking was easy, the location was close to the wedding and the place itself was adorable. Kepa made it very easy to feel at home. Kepa tells you where everything is located and even provided nice items like a hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner and toothbrushes (in case you forget yours, which I did.) I would stay here again and again and will tell all of my friends about this place.

Kepa was a wonderful host. She went beyond the usual and left little things [like a bottle of anchor steam beer] to help you feel welcome. Her garden is a piece of peace in a big city. We look forward to staying with her again.

The first time we stayed with Kepa, it was because of the lovely photos and great location. The second time we stayed, it was because we really enjoyed staying at Kepa's place! From the time you open the door to the private garden you're transported to another place. The garden is lush and overflowing with beautiful succulents, palms, and flowering plants. At night, it's all aglow with tiny cafe lights strung overhead.

The rooms are nicely appointed and provide a relaxing atmosphere. The room is stocked with toiletries, coffee, a selection of tea, and there was even soda and beer in the fridge!

Kepa provides free WiFi access and lots of information for places to visit in the neighborhood and throughout San Francisco.

Thanks again!

Absolutely loved staying in Kepa's little urban oasis. She was a great host and we had a very relaxing time. Will be back!

The unit was very clean, pleasant, and quiet, and in a great location for me. the backyard garden is a nice oasis, a little secret getaway in the heart of the city.

What an exceptional place! Enjoy the style and tranquility of the Cabana - nestled in a beautiful private garden in the hip Potrero Hill area. Equipped with everything you need during your stay - including well chosen amenities and tips for the neighborhood and San Francisco. Kepa is a wonderful host: well organized, super welcoming and full of ideas which she happily shared with me. I stayed for six nights and couldn't have asked for a better first airbnb experience. Thank you, Kepa. I will for sure come again.

Kepa is a great Airbnb host and is very focused on maximizing the experience for her guests. She welcomes feedback and is always looking for ways to improve her properties and amenities. I really enjoy staying with her and will be back in the upcoming weeks. The Suite is nicely sized and meets my needs perfectly. The grounds are spectacular and inviting. I look forward to relaxing outside on future visits once (if?) the weather gets warmer....

My stay at Kepa's was my first airbnb experience and if the rest are half as good I'll be doing pretty well! The location is great, an easy walk to good restaurants, cafe's and Wholefoods market (which is fantastic) as well as to public transport that's easy to figure out if you're not familiar with the area. Kepa's garden is a beautiful oasis and the apartment is very comfortable and cosy (with a great tea selection!) Most importantly Kepa is a brilliant host! She's very helpful with lots of great advice, not to mention a lovely and interesting person. We even had a night out together involving art, japanese and quite a bit of sake! Would definitely recommend a stay here!!
