About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Stuart
We're a married couple with 33 years of combined experience living in the bay area. He speaks English and conversational French and Spanish. She speaks English and Mandarin.
Why they chose this property
We like this house a lot because it's in a quiet and beautiful but very convenient part of San Francisco with public transportation to most places, and convenient driving as well to almost everywhere in San Francisco, to Marin via the Golden Gate Bridge, the East Bay (Berkeley, Oakland and beyond), and down the peninsula to Stanford and San Jose.
What makes this property unique
Our newly updated, landscaped garden is the best treat of all. Bask in the midday sun in the glory of nature, or refresh yourself in the evening fog while gazing up at Edgehill Mountain Open Space right behind our home.
