We had a truly lovely stay at Suzanne’s studio. Having lived in SF for many years before, we specifically choose the inner sunset because we love this district- a great location for restaurants, cafés, and very close to Golden Gate park including the botanical gardens.
About the studio itself:
Although it’s self check-in, Suzanne was available to assist us just in case. Otherwise, we used a code on the front door knob for the entirety of our stay, which made the process seamless. Once inside, you remain on the first floor and have a private entrance with a key if you would like to lock the door.
The studio is the most efficient use of space we have seen. We were so impressed! Everything in the space is designed more maximizing the space, so you feel that the studio is light and airy. I have nothing but great things to say about Suzanne’s studio.
The bed was large and comfortable and underneath, a beautiful, large, wooden structure with drawers that’s attached to a book shelf, which then attaches to a couch/living room space -all of which were comfortable.
The other side has more storage space and a TV with Chromecast and also some boardgames. Then you have a kitchenette with bowls, silverware, plates, etc. and everything you need for coffee or tea including a kettle and a pour over coffee filter. You also have a small fridge and microwave hidden away behind the cupboards. There is a small table attached to the wall with with three stools.
The bathroom was spacious with a large standing shower. Suzanne has everything you need inside- body wash, shampoo, conditioner, Q-Tips, tampons, etc. Haha. She thought of everything.
There is a also a closet for your clothes at the entrance of the studio. Finally, one of my favorite parts was the private backyard accessible from the studio directly. It’s very beautifully arranged with lots of seating. There is even a friendly neighborhood cat who likes to come say hello.
Great place and great hosts. Highly recommend.
One note: keep in mind that there is only street parking if you are driving. We were used to this in SF, but important to know. You have a lot of things that are walking distance including Andronico’s, which is a supermarket.
