This small studio is a 5 minute walk from the corner of Castro and Market so perfect for folks who want to be in the "gayborhood." The hosts are very responsive to questions and provide a welcoming bottle of wine and chocolates. It's on the first floor with no view, though very quiet which is great for sleeping. A few caveats - the walk up from Castro St. is a fairly steep hill, the apartment itself has a number of levels/steps (which you need to remember if you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom), and the apartment is small and not really the kind of place suited for hanging out (which was fine by us since we were into seeing the sights).
