We are a young couple in town for the Outside Lands Festival. My b/f and I were trying to decide btwn the Mariott, a hostel, or a B&B; ultimately deciding to go for what looked like the more "unique" experience :) We found the Inn on Castro and booked the double-bed room on the 2nd floor. The room had an amazing view, the carpets were soooo plush, our pillows were super soft, everything was spotless clean, AND there was a flask of brandy in our room! The host, Jan, went above and beyond w/ his friendly smile, assistance in navigating and picking out places to see/eat/etc, and especially his breakfasts. Jan serves the best breakfast in San Fran!!! He boasts a state-of-the-art espresso machine, makes home-made breads/muffins every morning, serves a huge bowl of fresh fruits, organic granolas, various egg dishes whipped up from scratch, and amazing pancakes/waffles/french toast..... WOW, what a place. We absolutely loved it there and will definitely return again!

With only 5 rooms in a Victorian house, it really did feel like I was staying someone's home. Jan the landlord was very helpful and sociable. Literally one minute's walk from Castro! My room was spacious and light with great views. Thank you, will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here in January 2011, and will definitely stay here again. The place was clean and charming and well-located. The proprietor, Jan, could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were over-the-top, and served family-style so you could chat with other guests if you wanted to do so. This is a wonderful place, which we hope stays in business a long, long time.

We stayed in the Patio suite and the Red room. The rooms were fitted out to the highest standard and the detail was great. From tissues to Brandy and the mini bar soft drinks were all included. Breakfast in the breakfast room was the best ever. A full breakfast was provided with all food home cooked. The location is great for the Castro and easy connections into Downtown. I've stayed in many hotels and Inns , this by far was the most comfortable and really was home from home. Will always want to stay there and defintely recommend this Inn too all my friends and family.

The owner and staff offer a level of service rarely seen in a gay owned bed and breakfast and we cannot wait to return again.

Our third visit. we would not go anywhere else. The owner had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The details made all the difference. Breakfasts were memorable with a variety of home cooked dishes served at a communal table, surrounded by orchids. We travel a great deal and it is rare to find such a gem.

Had a lovely stay in this beautifully pre-owned B&B guesthouse. Rooms comfortable and homey and nice touches, such as ipod player, chilled water and soft linens. On Castro St, but quiet and peaceful, but still near everything. Right on the car route into town, good location for local cafes. and the breakfast was superb!

We stayed in one of the houses (88 Caselli St) and this was a return visit. Good stuff - great location and fun to live on a street and have our own front door! Very peaceful, spacious living room with a well equipped kitchen. Not so good - poorly furnished with a bed that was only accessible on one side, and small uncomfortable sofa. No handles or latches on the bathroom door, so the spare toilet roll was pressed into use as a door stop, non-working phone, etc. We remembered from the last visit how thoughtful it was to put some basics in the fridge, so disappointed it didn't happen this time, and the heating wasn't switched on till the following day. Also - some of the details on this site are wrong (like the discount offer) and though the owners said they would rectify these they haven't some 3m later. All-in-all a good venue for a break away from it all, but the property could do with a little attention.

I come up to San Francisco about twice a month and have been staying here almost every time I am in town for the last year. The staff is incredible and you can't beat the location and value. I find it very hard to believe that anyone would have something bad to say about any of the staff. I have dealt with them all and they make me and the other guests feel like this is our home away from home. Breakfast is always fresh and delightful and the proximity to nightlife and great restaurants is unbeatable. I am always excited to come "home" to the Inn.

My partner and I had a very disappointing experience at this B&B. We faced the following problems: 1. The advertised prices on their web site are very misleading – and despite bringing this to their attention, they remain on the website. 2. Breakfast is served around one table with other guests. This is ok if you don't mind, but I think that you should be informed about being expected to eat with another 10 people prior your booking. There is no privacy at breakfast. 3. Never book rooms that have no photo on the website as there is a reason for this! The yellow room is incredibly dark, small and claustrophobic. The so-called 'Hideaway' doesn't even have a window!! 4. We were overcharged by over $500. The Innkeeper apparently did not realise that we had paid a large deposit prior our arrival. He also charged us a random price that did not even fit the bill. However, when we raised this issue, the innkeeper took 3 days to sort this out and was incredibly rude and hostile towards us, never apologising and implying that it was our fault for not realising. He stayed this way with us for the rest of our stay. 5. If you are booking for more than three days, expect to be served the same breakfast every day. Some days we were not even offered a proper hot breakfast. 6. After spending $1880 at the Inn on Castro, the Innkeeper did not even bother to say goodbye to us. 7. This was not a personal clash; we noticed that Innkeeper David is incredibly rude to other people too.

My wife and I stayed Dec 26-27, 2007, in the room called "Bibliotheque," included a king bed, bay window, and private bath (see plaid bed picture to the right). The room was well appointed with the ceiling decorated in inverted straw hats. My wife was the only women during our stay, yet we both felt comfortable. The conversation was lively around the breakfast table talking with people from around the world about The City, the museums, and the arts. The service was much more than expected; my wife felt it was the nicest place we have ever stayed. And we would stay there again.
