Location: Castro, San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA (Easy public transportation to downtown or anywhere in SF)
Accommodations: Garden Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
The Castro Garden Apartment is a quiet oasis in the heart of one of San Francisco's most desirable, vibrant, and centrally located neighborhoods -- the Castro/Upper Market. Situated in a fully renovated 1890's house, with its own private entrance on a magnolia tree-lined residential street, the apartment is just steps away from Upper Market Street restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as all modes of public transportation, including the Historic F-Street Car line to Fisherman's Wharf and the MUNI underground subway to downtown.
The Castro Garden Apartment is newly remodeled and furnished with a mid-century modern design aesthetic. There are new hardwood floors throughout, with carpeting in both bedrooms. The living room opens onto a sky-lighted sun-filled dining room with table seating for six; french doors open out to a private deck with a tropical garden and fountain, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing. The main bedroom, with a queen size quilt-covered bed and high-quality linens, overlooks the deck, garden, and fountain. It has a 26" wall-mounted flatscreen television. (The second bedroom/den is furnished with a double futon sofa-bed and has a 23" flatscreen television and DVD player.) The apartment is stocked with a vast DVD movie collection as well as San Francisco guide books.
There is a small office with an architecturally designed built-in desk/cabinets overlooking the deck and garden. Wireless DSL is free as well as a land phone line. A walk-in self-catering kitchen, with counter seating for two, is fully equipped and well appointed. The bathroom is white tiled with a marble vanity, hand-blown Italian glass light fixtures, a tub with shower, and plenty of cabinet space. If you need to do laundry during your stay, there is a full-service laundry directly across the street.
The apartment is in a prime, safe residential location just steps away from a variety of restaurants, shops, bars, and just about everything else you could possibly think of, including the famous Castro Theater (a landmark movie palace with a nightly live organ performance).
San Francisco is a cosmopolitan city and the Castro/Upper Market Street area is one of its most interesting, lively, safest and diverse neighborhoods. The Mission neighborhood with its popular Valencia Street are accessible by foot or via a short bus ride, as are other interesting neighborhoods such as Haight/Asbury, Noe Valley, the very hip shops of Hayes Valley, and downtown. Public transportation to anywhere in town is immediately accessible, including the street car trolley which goes right to through downtown, the Embarcadero, and to Fisherman's Wharf.
On-street-parking is very easy and available (neighborhood residential sticker acquireable for longer term stays). Alternatively a dedicated parking garage space is available across the street.
