What used to be a tiny basement next to a mound of hillside dirt is now a spacious studio on the lower floor. Bursting with amenities, this studio begs to pamper the independent traveler or couple. With a plush queen-size bed and separate sleeper sofa, the studio sleeps up to 3.

Bay windows give both plenty of natural light and privacy while overlooking a small front garden. In addition to a spacious and luxurious bathroom with classic clawfoot tub, the studio is fully loaded with a new washer, dryer, dishwasher, toaster, microwave and satellite television. Internet access via wireless or Ethernet is also included. The unit may be shared with the flat upstairs – via an interior stairway – and also has a private exterior entrance. The studio may be isolated from the flat simply be locking the interior stairway door.

Ideal for gourmands, the kitchen is fully loaded with a six-burner gas range & stove, a temperature-controlled wine cooler, and a new refrigerator. Bring back fresh produce from any of the many local farmers' markets, and share a meal with friends to experience another of San Francisco's treasures – its palette.

The downstairs studio is perfect for a quick getaway to the city. Affordably-priced, it is located within walking distance of the Castro District’s restaurants, shopping and rich cultural experiences.
