I stayed one week and I enjoyed a lot.
It was very easy to reach - mostly with F-line - all the main attractions though the best thing in loved in San Fran is to sense the feeling all over the city. Castro is fantastic neighbourhood with e.g. gay bars even you might not be gay. I went to Castro Theater to see fantastic documentary We Were Here. It was very touching because it told about Castro´s sad history during 80-90´s (good sense of humor was not forgotten). It was so-so authentic! The thaeter itself is fantastic inside, so I recommend to see what-so-ever.
I have been five times in NYC, but nowhere else in USA, so I can compare the people only with newyorkers (<-sorry), I found SanFrans are much more approachable, real and kind.
There are tons of nice cheap or moderate priced fancy restaurants all over Castro and you always will get newest tips from your landlords.
To get from and to airport was good deal to take shared van, only $16 each way.
I certainly will come back and stay at Nick and Laurence´s!
Thank You!

My partner and I stayed at this conveniently located studio for a week. The price is very reasonable compared to any hotel in the heart of downtown. The location is prime. Almost any mode of transport is within a few blocks away, even the famous F-line. We even took a bus that stops just outside the apartment to see the "painted ladies". The studio has a cozy feel, packed with amenities, clean and well maintained. Laurence was very helpful in checking us in and out. Any questions we had was a simple ring or e-mail away. The studio is located just a few blocks from the Castro, a very colorful neighborhood. TONS of places to shop and dine. We definitely enjoyed our stay. Such a great place and did I already mention the location?

This studio is thoughtfully furnished and very comfortable. The owners are great hosts and are very helpful. It's the location that makes this a great choice if you are flying in to San Francisco and don't want to hassle with a car. (Parking is challenging to find and if you don't know how to turn the front wheels when parking on a hill, you're in trouble.) It was so easy to take BART from the airport to the MUNI and the Castro stop is just down the hill from the studio. Before boarding BART just pick up a MUNI pass at the airport information desk and you can ride any bus, trolley and the MUNI all over the city. The transportation system is very well organized and wonderfully convenient. (Hint, if you just can't face the hill, just hop on the 24 bus that comes up Castro and the stop is right in front of the studio.) From the studio it's downhill to Market Street and you can easily get downtown, to Golden Gate Park, to the Ferry Building, to Fisherman's Wharf, to China Town, and anywhere else. Enjoy!

My husband and I recently stayed at this property during our trip to San Francisco. The apartment was like a home away from home. It was beautifully decorated and very cozy. Nick and Laurence provided TONS of helpful information for us during our trip and even put together a handbook of things to know about the area. The location couldn't have been better for us. We spent a lot of time in the Haight Ashbury area, and it was just a short walk from the apartment. The apartment is also within walking distance of Golden Gate park. The MUNI line was only 2 blocks away from the apartment for easy travel throughout the rest of the city. We could not have been happier with this property! We highly recommend this place to anyone who would like the comforts of home, while on vacation.

The apartment was exactly what we were looking for - a comfortable, cozy place for two that felt like home. Everything was modern, super clean and well-appointed, we had everything we needed, and Nick and Laurence were sweet, so thoughtful and kind. The location is great, because it was very close to all public transit including the F, Muni, and buses (no car needed) and we were able to do all of the touristy things very easily. The Castro area itself is fun, really unique and we enjoyed walking around to visit shops and view the houses. We also ate at quite a few restaurants in the neighborhood, all of which were outstanding. The only negative is that the area was hilly, but that seems to be the entire city to someone from the midwest.
We really hope that we can go back to the city sometime soon, and we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.

My friend and I have really felt at home in this beautiful apartment in central San Francisco. The metro was in a walking distance so we could reach every corner of this wonderful town just in a few minutes and once we arrived home exhausted from the visit at the end of the day, we found a peaceful neighborhood welcoming us and the perfect privacy to rest. Nick and Lawrence were very kind and provided us with all the information we needed...The perfect spot for a perfect holiday!!!

My son and I certainly enjoyed our stay in San Francisco. This appartment is conveniently located in the center of The Castro. Althought I've been to San Francisco before, it was a first for me to live in that part of the city. Not only it's near the subway, but it's also right on the corner of the first stop of The F Street Car which took us directly to almost all of the places we wanted to visit. The Castro is a great neighbourhood to live in. It's tranquille and full of good restaurants. The apartment itself was very comfortable, clean and decorated with taste. Our host were very helpful with suggestions. Thanks also to their homemade guide to the neighnourhood and the city. I recommand it to all. I certainly will rent this apartment again next time I visit San Francisco.

The Castro studio is a wonderful place to stay while visiting the Bay area. The studio is beautiful, clean, and just a couple blocks from many good restaurants, markets, stores, and the muni. The studio owners were lovely people and helpful in answering any questions. I highly recommend staying at this property in Castro to anyone who is visiting the Bay area. We loved staying here!
