We enjoyed our short stay in Maria's backyard studio. Located in Cole Valley, near the Panhandle, Golden Gate Park, and Haight-Ashbury, the studio lends itself as a simple and functional base from which to explore many of the city's gorgeous districts. Maria did a great job preparing everything for us and gave us clear and explicit check-in instructions upon our arrival. She was also responsive to our texts throughout the trip. Overall, we had a great time!
