About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

West Portal Studio, Ocean View and Convenient!

NO HIDDEN FEES for this high-end, sunny and comfortable bedroom that sleeps two people, with private bath and kitchenette (full size fridge, microwave, toaster oven, two electric burners perfect for boiling), an electric kettle, toaster, blender, and coffee pot), all thoughtfully laid out within 350 square feet. Peet's coffee, Ghiradelli cocoa, Bigelow teas, and flavored carbonated waters all included.

Enter through our very clean garage and then see the ocean (and spectacular sunset colors) in the distance from the expansive windows. Free wifi, TV with multiple channels. AMPLE STREET PARKING right outside (weeknights and weekends) or just a block away (weekdays).

We recently updated our backyard landscaping with a sunny artisanal stone seating area, water feature, loads of flowers and greenery, with gas BBQ - bring your grillables and help yourself! And we just opened a FITNESS CENTER in the cottage above the garden!

SUSTAINABILITY: Being in California we try to conserve water but if you're staying five nights or more, use our energy-efficient, greywater-producing washing machine, and dryer - no charge. Our washing machine waters our front yard! Electricity is courtesy of our solar panels. We have a low-flush toilet in the studio.

A seven-minute picturesque stroll to quaint but active West Portal with multiple eateries and eclectic shopping, with MUNI train lines for a 4-minute ride to the Castro, 11 minute ride to Powell (downtown SF). Or transfer after 6 minutes at Civic Center for BART for regional destinations, e.g. San Francisco Airport, 29 minutes. A cab from the airport costs about $60. We're about 2 miles from the UCSF Parnassus campus.

West Portal features numerous opportunities to hike through off-the-beaten-path, non-touristy neighborhoods in Forest Hill, Saint Francis Wood, and also Mount Davidson for stellar views of the entire bay. Easy ride (or 45-minute walk) to the San Francisco Zoo and the Pacific Ocean.

Comfortable and quiet stay

We loved the location of this property. The owner Stuart was very friendly and was very helpful with getting us settled. The bed was very comfortable, and the little studio had everything you need for your stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans, plates, cups, utensils, etc. The location is great I'm West Portal. Just a short walk to tons of restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

A Gem in West Portal

Stuart and family are the sort of hosts who make the VRBO experience satisfying and worthwhile…helpful, personable, and engaging but never intrusive. The studio is spacious, comfortable, and quiet, with easy access and thoughtful amenities. Surrounding neighborhoods, off the tourist map, are safe and walkable, and in an area of The City very much worth exploring. Nearby West Portal village offers a wealth of very good restaurants with varied cuisine and average pricing catering mostly to locals. The West Portal Metro station has regular train service every few minutes for easy transportation to and from downtown San Francisco and then to just about any place beyond. This is truly a wonderful place to temporarily call home.

Great location and very clean!!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this well-situated, very clean property in a safe neighborhood. It had easy parking on the street directly in front of the home, with a separate, off the street entrance. The host was responsive to the few questions we had, and went out of the way to find a restaurant open when we arrived on Thanksgiving day. Everything needed was in the unit, including a toothbrush my husband forgot to pack! Definitely recommend. It's an easy walk into West Portal with dining options, including an excellent bakery that should not be missed: Noe Valley Bakery!

Perfect!

I booked three nights here for a work trip and will definitely be back to this beautiful neighborhood. The small apartment was very spacious and well equipped. All the linens and furnishings were comfortable and made my stay very relaxing. Being able to safely walk five minutes to so many amazing restaurants was an added bonus. I think my favorite part, though was when I realized I had an amazing ocean view from the bedroom window!

Home Away from the Hospital

My wife was in UCSF and this home was where I spent time when I was not with her. It's ideally located within 10-12 minutes of the medical center. Stuart was a wonderful, helpful host who went out of his way to make sure that my stay was comfortable and uneventful. If you're looking for a quiet piet de terre close to Golden Gate Park, it's perfect.
