The studio sits on top of a STEEP hill. Climbing it from the bus stop wore me out. There is no air conditioning. I never thought to look at that since I live in the south and every place is air conditioned. We would leave the back door open while we were there with the small fan running that came with the studio. I was under the impression that the back door opened up right into the backyard but there are two sets of steps to descend. The towels are rough and scratchy like the ones from a cheap motel. The studio was clean and exactly like the pictures. Other than the steep hill it is a good location. Bus stop for the 6 and 43 routes are at the foot of the hill. Golden Gate Park and Haight St are both a short walk away. There is a Walgreens also very close by.
