Our Home

Quest House is more than just a place to stay – it’s a communal family home for healing and connection. Our spacious property offers peace and privacy inside and out, along with ample opportunities for socializing and support. Surgical guests and caregivers alike will find community with other folks who understand their experiences.

Guest Feedback

QUEST GUEST

A Magical Place

"Quest house is a magical place. Going through phalloplasty is one of the most exciting, scary, and beautiful things I’ve ever done, and having a space and people that understand it allowed me to process such a drastic transformation."

QUEST GUEST

The space is like a little family

“Each person that passes through Quest House’s doors feels how special it is. The space is like a little family where everyone gets really close, really fast, because you’re experiencing one of the most meaningful and intense times of your lives together.”

QUEST GUEST

Comfortable, Beautiful, Supportive

“When I began preparing myself for surgery, I envisioned the first month of recovery to be one of the most difficult experiences in my life. It is true, surgery is very challenging. However, what I learned is that being in a comfortable, beautiful and supportive space can transform the experience from one of mere pain to a beautiful, but very challenging personal journey."

QUEST GUEST

10,000/10

“Staying at Quest House while recovering from bottom surgery is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I made the reservations hoping for a safe space to recover in peace. What I found was far better. I cannot recommend Quest House highly enough. 10000/10."

QUEST GUEST

New friendships

“I came to stay at Quest House for my second stage in my phalloplasty journey. I was a little bit anxious about being alone in another country and undergoing surgery without the support of family members, so I thought that Quest House would be the best fit for my needs since I would be staying with others. I am so happy that I made the decision to stay here! I really can't recommend this space enough to those of you who are looking for accommodations in the San Francisco area. Surgery is never a fun experience, but I had such a positive time here full of support, understanding, and lots of laughs. I can say without a doubt that you will feel comfortable here, and you will make new friendships with people who truly understand the hardships of this process.”

QUEST GUEST

I've made friends for life here

“I've stayed at Quest House three times, once for my phalloplasty and twice again for glansplasty and repairs. I honestly don't know how I would have managed all of this without this incredible space. The actual physical space is thoughtfully planned for the best recovery experience. There are intangible benefits to this space, too. The sense of humor, community, compassion and care are worth four times as much as the going rate of rental. I've made friends for life here, and it feels like Quest House is as much a part of my transition as anything else has been.”
