The Castro studio was lovely. The perfect place to stay in a FABULOUS town. We thoroughly enjoyed the quaint environment of the studio and we really had everything we needed. The construction going on next door was minimal - they started after 9:30am and the three gentlemen working on the place were very respectful of their surroundings. I would suggest that anyone particular about their sleep bring their own pillows, but the bed was super comfy overall. There are a few little quirks about the studio but Vanick and Deborah are very efficient in labeling directions for everything. Water pressure in the shower is very light but manageable. The neighborhood is very quiet and eclectic. Vanick and Deborah were out of town during my stay so they suggested I contact his father in the event any issue arise. Our plan wasn't leaving until 8:30pm and I called Vanick's father to request permission to leave our bags for the afternoon and he was gracious enough to extend the approval. We were very fortunate to have a safe place for our bags as the Castro district is very 'up and down' hills and such. We will definitely be coming back to the Castro.
