Vanick's studio is perfectly situated within walking distance of the Castro district and a short drive to just about all San Francisco's other local attractions. On most days, we left our full-size sedan parked in the driveway, and explored the neighborhood on foot. The studio feels incredibly private, complete with an outdoor patio where we had coffee every morning. To top it off, the studio is also well stocked with dishes and small appliances, so we picked up groceries around the corner and were able to do a little home cooking. Overall, convenient and comfortable, and Vanick's a wonderfully helpful host.
