About this property
Central Castro 2BR w/ Private Deck, Garden and Laundry- NO STAIRS!
89 reviews with 4.9 Stars on AirBnB! Free parking and no cleaning fee. A centrally located 2 BR, 1 BA with a private deck overlooking a huge backyard with garden. The large, open living room overlooks the bright garden and has a desk for working from home. Plus theres an additional desk with monitor in the front bedroom. The back deck comes complete with teak table and chairs for al fresco working and dining. 1 King, 1 Queen, and 1 foldout Queen sleeps 4 total. Netflix and Excellent Wifi. Parking permit included. My place is good for couples, business travelers, surgery patients, theatergoers, and families with children 8 years of age or older.
The Space A private escape for work, play and relaxation in the heart of SF. This 2BR apartment is in the center of the Castro area, within blocks of both the dining and shopping of Castro St. and the green beauty of Dolores Park. <1 mile from CPMC Davies Hospital. The theater district is just a few stops away on the Muni train.
The apartment has a large, sunny garden with a private back deck. It's the bottom story of a large Victorian house-NO STAIRS!, and has lovely vintage details – a very San Francisco home. There are 2 bedrooms. The first is the primary bedroom, with a King bed and french doors that open onto a small, private deck. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a desk with comfortable office chair and 27" monitor. This bedroom has a large window facing the street. There is also a pull-out sofa bed in the living room. The primary bedroom and the living room pull-out bed are in the interior of the house and are quiet. The front bedroom window is triple-paned, but you can sometimes hear some noise from the street. Please note that the person making the reservation must be over 25. They can bring guests under that age, of course. A maximum of 8 people allowed on the premises at any given time, and 4 to sleep. This is my home, not a party house.
The kitchen is large, airy and well-stocked, with everything a cook could need, including a gas stove, a dishwasher, high quality pots and pans, and a set of real chef's knives. The bright and open living room has a dining table that can expand to seat 8, bay windows overlooking the garden, a large TV with Netflix and a DVD player tucked away in an antique armoire. The living room has a desk and printer, and a washer and dryer for your convenience. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo.
If you need to cancel your reservation past the refund cut off time, I will refund you if I am able to find another guest who will book your dates.

About the host
Hosted by Carmen
I enjoy having people from all different parts of the world visit my city and my home. I frequently stay in vacation rentals myself, because I like to live like the locals and get to know a place in a new way. I love living here, and I look forward to sharing my city with you. My favorite other places are almost anywhere in France, New York, and anywhere my children (and grandchildren) live.
Why they chose this property
This house was built in 1907 by a German carpenter and his wife as a house for their family. Before it was built, the ground it stands held the stable for the horses that pulled the neighborhood firetruck! My family and I bought this place in 2008 and then restored it together. it's been very rewarding work to bring a classic San Francisco Victorian back to life.
What makes this property unique
I'd say the best thing about our house is that it's so centrally located, but this particular block we are on is a specially shaped one - 40% deeper than your standard SF lot, meaning that our backyards are much larger than average. Out front the bustle of the Castro is all around, but you wouldn't know it when you sit on the back deck in the sunshine, enjoying the birdsong.
