This place turned out great for our stay. It was perfectly located for us as we tended to spend most of our time in the Castro area and walked market street often. The studio had just enough room for two people and we didn't ever feel cramped. Vanick and Deborah were very welcoming and considerate. They do live upstairs but the noise was never an issue. The place worked well for us since we were primarily only there when we were sleeping or getting ready to go somewhere. If we were looking to relax at the studio or spend more time there, then it might have been more difficult without much sitting room to stretch out. But overall it was a great stay and ideal for travelers like ourselves who were keeping busy exploring the city.
