Vanick's very cozy, quaint, and exceedingly pleasant basement studio was beyond expectation. I was in town for a film festival at the Castro Theater, and the location could not have been more fantastic. The location is cozy and quiet, but is very close to the bustling Castro and all its vast Market Street central public transit options. The property is also steps away from one of the best vistas in the city on a clear day (Corona Heights park); and most importantly for some of us driving visitors, there is an inclusive parking space for a modestly compact automobile.
Vanick's studio and pre-instructions are excellently prepared for an easy check-in. There are well-prepared user guides with plenty of thoughtful local recommendations, and the space includes multiple amenities like a bountiful supply of Keurig coffee, creamers, a bottle of wine, chocolates/granola bars, etc. A few nights were very cold, but the central air heating system quickly made the space warm and cozy in a matter of minutes. The internet was a bit slow while I was visiting, but Vanick was very quick to respond to my concerns. I very much look forward to returning. Highly recommended!
