Beautiful Cottage, hot tub, in great neighborhood

Fantastic, quiet, remodeled private cottage, with large deck off living room and bedroom, and roof deck with city views, shared hot tub, a beautiful wet bar with induction burner, huge heated-floor bathroom, in-unit laundry, dishwasher, 77" 4K home theater with thousands of free movies, many streaming services, 1000Mbps internet, both WiFi and Ethernet and a dedicated work-from-home desk space, a large bedroom with reclaimed wood wall, and closet. One block from historic Castro district.

The space:
There are a number of stairs to get into the unit. If you have difficulty navigating stairs, this may not be the right place for you. i get it professionally cleaned after each reservation. i’ve tailored it to my own personal tastes, from the reclaimed redwood wall to the heated bathroom floor. i built the entire apartment from the ground up, floors and all, choosing each detail as it was built. There's a lot of love in this place. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do. :)

Outdoor hot tub is shared, and always on, though it rarely gets used. Quite time is 10pm for the hot tub.

i do not have cable/network TV. i do have an AppleTV with lots of streaming services, which you are welcome to use. :)

Street parking is free, with a weekday 9am-9pm 2-hours time limit, no limit on weekends, cars need to be moved Fridays from 8am-10am for weekly street cleaning. If you need a parking permit (which lets you ignore the 2-hour but not street cleaning), please message me at least three weeks prior to your reservation, so the city can have time to mail it to me. The cost will be determined by the length of your stay, but it's roughly $62/week.

Guest access:
Entire house, rooftop deck, courtyard, entire deck off living room and bedroom. Hot tub is rarely used but is shared.

There are 15 stairs to get to the house. The rooftop deck is two stories up, all stairs. The house is halfway up the block on a steep hill.

Other things to note:
This is not a party house. Please, no parties. i've worked hard to make this a beautiful place and want to keep it in great condition.

Also, please read the House Guidelines, posted on the wall by the door, and Check-In instructions.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe. Housekeeping is available on request.

Perfect Castro retreat

We loved this apartment. The unit is beautiful and stylish and very quiet. The bathroom especially is full of luxurious high end touches (like double shower heads and heated floors). The porch features gorgeous flowers and lovely resident hummingbirds. The location is ideal: great coffee at Spike’s and markets for essentials right around the corner; everything the Castro has to offer nearby; easy access to Muni at Castro Station; a short lovely walk to Dolores Park and the Mission. We lived in SF for several years and staying here felt like coming home!

Comfy Cozy and Fun!

Clean, stylish and comfortable! Cory, our host, was friendly and helpful. The neighborhood was a blast, with great shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. Mission Dolores Park is also an easy walk, with a breathtaking view of the city. We'd stay there again any time!
