My wife and I stayed at Massimo’s and Mary’s place for 10 days at the end of September 2014. It was a wonderful experience: The studio is a cozy home away from home and Mary and Massimo are extremely kind hosts. They were available for all kinds of questions and we also had nice talks just about everything. :) They provided helpful tipps on restaurants and cafés in the neighborhood and let us use one of their bikes which was really great. If you don’t mind a steep hill once in a while cycling is perfect to explore San Francisco. And especially in the area around this studio there are many places to go to by bike: We went through Presidio to Baker’s Beach and across Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and then took the ferry back to San Francisco. Golden Gate Park is very close and on the other side of it the Sunset district or Haight Ashbury are nice to cycle around, too. What we liked best about the studio itself was the little kitchen where we prepared breakfast regularly with a nice French Press coffee or Espresso, toast and scrambled eggs. A French Press and tiny Espresso maker as well as a toaster oven, electric kettle are provided. On the two burner cooktop you could also make some pasta and sauce - there are some pots and pans there. You can use the nice little yard/garden, too, and we had breakfast there once. Everything was neat and clean. When we brought in a little sand from the beach that we wanted to clean up it was no problem to borrow Mary’s vacuum cleaner. Sheets and towels were changed once upon request (that’s what we agreed upon moving in). The bed is comfortable, too, and there are extra blankets in the closet if you need them. Speaking of closets: There’s a lot of closet and drawer space to stow away your things. We would recommend staying here, especially if you’re looking for a safe and quite neighborhood with a lot of options for going out and doing stuff just around the corner.
