The challenge: Find the perfect San Francisco location for a film shoot.
It had to:
Be reasonably priced.
Be close to public transportation -- for our green cast and crew.
Have easy parking -- for our truck with all the gear.
Have the exterior of grand Victorian lady with an elegant gate and lovely garden in bloom.
Have a interior room with a fireplace that could also double as a dressing room.
Have a comfortable bed, a kitchenette and a hot shower for that precious after-the-shoot down time.
Have fabulous owners who would welcome us without hesitation and with open arms.
Impossible, right? Not here!
Our hosts could simply not have been more hospitable. They were professional, ethical and accommodating, greeting us warmly at the onset and bidding us farewell and do-return-soon at the conclusion. We got the footage we needed with no more than polite smiles from the neighbors who acted as though film crews with dolly tracks and lights were an every day occurrence. It was fabulous.
My one regret: Since I live in San Francisco, I won't have the joy of staying here myself and perhaps discovering what is to be a part of a real SF neighborhood, instead of being just another tourist marooned at a generic over-priced hotel in Fisherman's Wharf. This is the real deal.

We chose this particular property because of location and close proximity to family, the Muni/Street Cars (can walk to many locations without need of a car) restaurants and grocery stores. Our studio apartment was very welcoming, comfortable and tastefully furnished. From the get go our hosts were quick to respond to all our questions and needs and a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely stay here again when in town visiting family.

What a great place to stay during my San Francisco visit. Quiet, yet located just up the street from ground zero at Castro and 17th. Also right up the street from public transit (i.e., MUNI underground). Clean, quiet... pretty ideal. The owner is attentive and easily reached with questions or issues. Such a great place for the price!
I will definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

My husband and I came up for a romantic Valentine's day weekend and were so lucky to find this gem of a place to stay. Cozy and private room, friendly owners and fantastic location! We parked our car and never used it all weekend! Close to stores, restaurants, bars, parks and footsteps from the Castro Theater. And the best part was we could bring our beloved pooch! We have a film screening at the Castro for the upcoming Frameline 34 and were so happy we could book the apartment again. In all our years of visiting SF, this is a true find. We are already thinking about our next visit.
