About this property
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.
GUEST SERVICES: We (owners) live onsite upstairs. We respect your need for quiet and privacy but are always available to help with anything you need.
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.
Possession of a San Francisco Short-Term Rental Registration Certificate certifies that the registration certificate holder has agreed to comply with the terms of the San Francisco Short-Term Rental Ordinance (San Francisco Administrative Code Section 41A). This ordinance does not require an inspection of the unit by the City for potential Building, Housing, Fire, or other Code violations, though we obtained and passed many of these inspections.
