I was in town for a work conference being held at the Palace of Fine Arts and you'll notice that while there are plenty of hotels in the area, they're all pretty seedy. So after discovering Denise's place and seeing that it's a five minute walk away from the Palace of Fine Arts (and plenty of great restaurants AND a Smitten Ice Cream), it was the perfect place. Once you arrive, you'll find light switches and drawers with labels reading "shower light" and "extra towels." Let that be an indication for how much care Denise takes in being a great and thoughtful hostess. The studio feels incredibly private, is very comfortable, and cheerfully appointed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for an out-of-town traveler on vacation or a business traveler who wants to avoid downtown!
