Vanick and Deborah are two of the most wonderful, diverse, kind people you will ever meet. Their Castro Studio is a cozy spot that is extremely convenient in its location. If you are attempting to see the city without the use of a rental car then this is a great spot for you. The bus stop is right down the street and from there you can easily travel the city. The neighborhood itself is very quiet and beautiful with great grocery/markets, delicious restaurants and cafes, cool bars and a small park with a spectacular overlook of the city. My wife and I had the opportunity to spend time with Vanick and Deborah and if you are looking for the chance to learn more about the city, gain some great recommendations for travel or improve your world view in general you couldn't find better hosts. Absolutely would recommend this spot to anyone!
