This is a lovely place to stay for a short trip or an extended one. Stephen and his family were extremely welcoming and very kind every time we ran into each other. The studio was roomy and functional. As described it does not have a full kitchen but I brought a small hot plate and it worked out great. The private backyard is beautiful and a great place to relax. The location is great and is only about a 10 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk to the beach. Parking is on the street but the week that I had a car there I did not have any trouble finding a space close by. I would highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a relaxing, welcoming stay in San Francisco.
