You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

West Portal Studio, Ocean View and Convenient!

NO HIDDEN FEES for this high-end, sunny and comfortable bedroom that sleeps two people, with private bath and kitchenette (full size fridge, microwave, toaster oven, two electric burners perfect for boiling), an electric kettle, toaster, blender, and coffee pot), all thoughtfully laid out within 350 square feet. Peet's coffee, Ghiradelli cocoa, Bigelow teas, and flavored carbonated waters all included.

Enter through our very clean garage and then see the ocean (and spectacular sunset colors) in the distance from the expansive windows. Free wifi, TV with multiple channels. AMPLE STREET PARKING right outside (weeknights and weekends) or just a block away (weekdays).

We recently updated our backyard landscaping with a sunny artisanal stone seating area, water feature, loads of flowers and greenery, with gas BBQ - bring your grillables and help yourself! And we just opened a FITNESS CENTER in the cottage above the garden!

SUSTAINABILITY: Being in California we try to conserve water but if you're staying five nights or more, use our energy-efficient, greywater-producing washing machine, and dryer - no charge. Our washing machine waters our front yard! Electricity is courtesy of our solar panels. We have a low-flush toilet in the studio.

A seven-minute picturesque stroll to quaint but active West Portal with multiple eateries and eclectic shopping, with MUNI train lines for a 4-minute ride to the Castro, 11 minute ride to Powell (downtown SF). Or transfer after 6 minutes at Civic Center for BART for regional destinations, e.g. San Francisco Airport, 29 minutes. A cab from the airport costs about $60. We're about 2 miles from the UCSF Parnassus campus.

West Portal features numerous opportunities to hike through off-the-beaten-path, non-touristy neighborhoods in Forest Hill, Saint Francis Wood, and also Mount Davidson for stellar views of the entire bay. Easy ride (or 45-minute walk) to the San Francisco Zoo and the Pacific Ocean.

Perfect San Francisco Stay
Our stay was perfect. The studio had everything we needed and more. It was the perfect base for our adventures as first timers to San Francisco. The location was convenient, safe and quiet. Parking was easy. Stuart and family were wonderful hosts. We actually added a night to our original stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect!
I booked three nights here for a work trip and will definitely be back to this beautiful neighborhood. The small apartment was very spacious and well equipped. All the linens and furnishings were comfortable and made my stay very relaxing. Being able to safely walk five minutes to so many amazing restaurants was an added bonus. I think my favorite part, though was when I realized I had an amazing ocean view from the bedroom window!

Home Away from the Hospital
My wife was in UCSF and this home was where I spent time when I was not with her. It's ideally located within 10-12 minutes of the medical center. Stuart was a wonderful, helpful host who went out of his way to make sure that my stay was comfortable and uneventful. If you're looking for a quiet piet de terre close to Golden Gate Park, it's perfect.

Great clean studio with wonderful host!
This studio was so nice and clean. The host was super helpful - even did our laundry! The neighborhood was beautiful and close to transportation. The hardest part was walking home op the hill after a full day of walking. The local restauranta were fabulous as well especially the Italian place!

Great location & host!
Stayed here while in town for the week for a work conference. The location is fantastic if you want to be just outside of the downtown area but have easy access via the train. The house is located in a great neighborhood that completely embodied what I picture with a San Francisco hillside neighborhood. An easy downhill walk to the train station and restaurants, and Stuart provided great dining recommendations. The suite is perfect. Full kitchen, nice bathroom and shower, comfortable bed... it was spot on. I'll be looking for this property again next year!

Wonderful studio in the perfect neighborhood to explore San Francisco
We were fortunate to find and stay at this property. The space was clean and set up well for our needs. The muni line is only 3 blocks away which made it easy to get to many areas of San Francisco we wanted to explore. Stuart was very helpful in answering our questions, as well as welcoming. Thanks for the great time!

Wonderful location & super easy host to work with
Very lovely neighborhood in the West Portal area. Close to a muni station & $25 Uber to wharf. Need to enjoy & be able to walk unless you want to pay for Ubering. The host is great. Super responsive & easy check in/check out. He’s also flexible with you getting in early or staying late.
