Neighborhood: Dolores Heights is centrally located between the Castro, Noe Valley and the Mission. It includes Mission Dolores -- the oldest building in San Francisco, and Dolores Park -- one of the most popular parks in the city. As you may know, the Castro (centered 4 blocks west) is the historic gay center of San Francisco -- it features restaurants, bars, the Castro Theater, shopping, and an ever-increasing number of coffee shops and day spas. The Mission (centered 3 blocks east) is a historically Latino neighborhood. It, too, features restaurants, bars, the Roxie Theater, shopping and an ever-increasing number of coffee shops and boutiques.
Access: Private entrance to your own efficiency studio (including bathroom) - this is not just a room in a house! You will be assigned a unique code that you can use to access the unit at any time during your stay: no keys needed.
Transit: San Francisco has excellent public transportation, and all of it is easily accessible from here. The Muni J-Church line is two blocks away and will take you downtown; it also connects with other lines that can take you to virtually any part of SF. The Castro and Church stations are four blocks away.
The 22, 24, 33, and F all stop within 2-4 blocks of the apartment and will take you to various parts of the city.
BART is also nearby -- the 16th & Mission station is only five blocks away.
There is a bike share station 18th and Dolores street 3 blocks away. In fact, everything you need is easily walkable, so you don't need a car.
If you do have a car, free on-street parking is available. Parking spots are typically ample, and with notice you can use the private spot in front of the driveway. However, there is a 2-hour parking limit for non-resident vehicles from 8am to 9pm Monday through Friday. That means you need to move your car every two hours during the day. Nights are easier -- if you park your car after 7pm you can leave it there until 10am the next morning.
All that being said, temporary parking permits are available. They eliminate the 2-hour restriction so that you can park all day. Please contact us for availability and pricing.
Notes: You can stay up to 28 days with us, and we will provide you with fresh towels and bedding, soap, coffee, etc. as often as you request it ;)
Please feel free to consult the house manual (click on 'itinerary'), which can be accessed through the AirBnB website as soon as you book the studio.
For your information: there are two apartments above the studio; you may intersect with the neighbors living above in the stairs area. The neighbors are respectful and quiet. The unit is mostly soundproof, but you may occasionally hear people walking upstairs (as is usually the case in apartments)

Russ’s place was perfect for our seven-night stay. It was cozy and comfortable, with a great bed and an excellent shower. Russ was very responsive to our questions and needs, making our time in San Francisco easy and enjoyable. We would definitely stay there again.
This is a wonderful spot, as described. Bright, well furnished, comfortable. And Dolores Park at the doorstep. Russ communicated well, and his suggestions for food nearby were spot on. A real treat to stay here!
Very comfortable place to stay. The host has thought of everything. Comfy bed, thick and thirsty towels, good shower. Location was very convenient to what I needed. The host was very communicative and helpful. Check in and out was super easy. VRBO asked me to rate the winery experience but there wasn’t a winery as part of the property.
Perfect studio for our stay in San Fransisco. Clean, comfortable bed. We enjoyed walking to Delores Park and around the Mission & Castero neighborhoods. Great places to eat and cute shops. Felt safe.
We had such an amazing time in San Francisco. The condo had everything we needed and was as described in the listing, communication was effortless and we even got to check in early! Will stay again!
Very comfortable stay in one of my favorite parts of the city! Highly recommend for any single or couple wanting to enjoy a few days living in a great location.
We chose the perfect spot in an ideal location for our trip. The accommodations were perfect!The peacefulness of the area and the accessibility to the attractions were fantastic!Russ was so helpful, answering questions and providing suggestions. I would highly recommend this location!
While small, the place was perfect for my partner and I. Set in a quiet neighborhood, and within walking distance to public transportation. Parking can be tricky, but that's the city.
This room was perfect for the solo or pair of travelers. Comfortable and in a great area! Russ was a great host and very responsive, the place itself is very clean and secure.
We stayed here for two nights. Very quiet street, a super comfy bed and thoughtful touches throughout the studio. Simple walk to the lovely Dolores Park and many great restaurants and cafes, as well as public transpo. Host was very considerate.
Loved our stay. The place is everything it says it is. Very clean and nice location. It's a perfect place for 2. Russ was very responsive. I'd definitely stay again
