Neighborhood:

Dolores Heights is centrally located between the Castro, Noe Valley and the Mission. It includes Mission Dolores -- the oldest building in San Francisco, and Dolores Park -- one of the most popular parks in the city. As you may know, the Castro (centered 4 blocks west) is the historic gay center of San Francisco -- it features restaurants, bars, the Castro Theater, shopping, and an ever-increasing number of coffee shops and day spas. The Mission (centered 3 blocks east) is a historically Latino neighborhood. It, too, features restaurants, bars, the Roxie Theater, shopping and an ever-increasing number of coffee shops and boutiques.

Access:

Private entrance to your own efficiency studio (including bathroom) - this is not just a room in a house! You will be assigned a unique code that you can use to access the unit at any time during your stay: no keys needed.

Transit:

San Francisco has excellent public transportation, and all of it is easily accessible from here.

The Muni J-Church line is two blocks away and will take you downtown; it also connects with other lines that can take you to virtually any part of SF. The Castro and Church stations are four blocks away.

The 22, 24, 33, and F all stop within 2-4 blocks of the apartment and will take you to various parts of the city.

BART is also nearby -- the 16th & Mission station is only five blocks away.

There is a bike share station 18th and Dolores street 3 blocks away. In fact, everything you need is easily walkable, so you don't need a car.

If you do have a car, free on-street parking is available. Parking spots are typically ample, and with notice you can use the private spot in front of the driveway. However, there is a 2-hour parking limit for non-resident vehicles from 8am to 9pm Monday through Friday. That means you need to move your car every two hours during the day. Nights are easier -- if you park your car after 7pm you can leave it there until 10am the next morning.

All that being said, temporary parking permits are available. They eliminate the 2-hour restriction so that you can park all day. Please contact us for availability and pricing.

Notes:

You can stay up to 28 days with us, and we will provide you with fresh towels and bedding, soap, coffee, etc. as often as you request it ;)

Please feel free to consult the house manual (click on 'itinerary'), which can be accessed through the website as soon as you book the studio.

For your information: there are two apartments above the studio; you may intersect with the neighbors living above in the stairs area. The neighbors are respectful and quiet. The unit is mostly soundproof, but you may occasionally hear people walking upstairs (as is usually the case in apartments)

I'm a third generation San Franciscian who returned to SF in 2016 and moved to Dolores Heights in 2018. Our home is central to the Valencia Corridor, The Castro, and 18th street, all great venues for strolling, shopping, dining, and experiencing the vibrant San Francisco lifestyle. If you just want to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather, we are 1/2 block from the newly renovated Dolores Park one of the best outdoor attractions in the city, Hope that you enjoy your visit.
