Vlad and Ira sent me two numerical codes exactly at check in time. One code was to access the side yard and the other to access the studio. The use of both the codes to access the area left me feeling very safe and secure. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly. Parking close to the residence was easy. Public transit, grocery stores, and restaurants were all within walking distance. The first evening we walked to the beach, a mile away. Vlad and Ira responded to all questions in a timely manner. The studio was small but very clean and provided all needed amenities. The next time I'm in SF I would love to stay here again. By the way the 16th Street tile steps are within walking distance from the house and they are beautiful leading to a spectacular view of San Francisco.
