Our stay at Jana’s garden suite was lovely. There is a beautiful garden outside the living room and bedroom, and the location was perfect for us. It is in a quiet convenient location in Noe Valley, and we were able to walk to stores and restaurants during our stay. Jana is a very responsive host! We will definitely look to stay here on our future trips.

We stayed at Jana's lovely place for a week and it was perfect in every way for our needs. It was located in a great part of the city and easy accessible to eateries, groceries and other amenities. We loved the view of the amazing garden area, and enjoyed sitting on the back porch (when the weather allowed) to take it all in. Very peaceful. The only drawback for us was the limited parking spots. But this seems to be a challenge in most of the city! I hope to return and stay with Jana in the future.

Jana's place was an absolute gem. Very clean, very private, beautiful gardens just outside the set of double doors in the living space and the bedroom. A very peaceful and relaxing space with some really cool decor. Jana herself was excellent at communication and I had the chance to meet and talk with her and we had a really great conversation - a really cool person, super interesting. You can't beat the neighborhood either, tons of cafes and shops within walking distance and The Mission is just down the road. I'll definitely be booking Jana's place next time I'm in SF!

Staying at Jana's place was great. I got accommodated with a last minute booking, and the place had everything I needed. Bathroom was probably the coziest I ever had, and I travel a lot. Location is great - streetcar stop is right next street, it's close to Noe Valley village on 24th, and it's easy to walk to/back from Mission. Recommended!

Enjoyed morning coffee and birdsong on the sunny Mediterranean terrace of this tropical paradise. The space is very thoughtfully curated. Had everything I needed, with flair to spare. Jana was delightful, and immediately responsive. Looking to rebook. Margaret, Ridgefield Garden Club, CT
