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.
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 Host as soon as you book the suite.

The host was very responsive, the space was very clean and lovely, the bathroom was amazing, and the location was excellent. Great stay in a wonderful area of SF
Russ was an excellent host. The suite was beautiful, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The bathroom is stunning, with impressive architecture and great technology. It’s also very close to Castro Street/theater (we came for a concert) about 5 minute walk, so I didn’t need to rent a car or even uber. There is also a beautiful, lively park 1 min away. A big shoutout to Peanut, the sweetest and most affectionate dog! We loved her.
Highly recommend staying here. Thank you again, Russ!
We enjoyed our 3-night stay in this quiet and comfortable studio. The ideal location allowed us to easily explore the city on foot or by trolley. Dolores Park, with its stunning views, is just a half-block away. The studio features a comfortable bed and a beautiful bathroom. Russ thought of everything, including visits from his sweet dog Peanut. Highly recommend this stay.
Really comfortable spot with a very nice shower! Fellow work travelers know how clutch that is. Pleasant backyard for a little nature time and very close to Dolores Park and all the good food SF has to offer. Friendly host, too!
This room was super cozy when returning from the days adventurers.absolutely the proximity of it to the Castro. Property owner check in from time to time to see what could they do to enhance our stay as well as giving their favorites on local restaurants. Over all amazing city and property.
Location, location, location with a helpful and friendly host
This place is a diamond when it comes to location in San Francisco. The host is extremely helpful and communicative which made everything super easy.
Side note: the bed is incredibly comfortable & the washroom is fantastic and fully stocked with almost all toiletries one might need
Russ is a phenomenal host. Everything from quick, available communication, to the home being immaculate. Incredible location and lovely home. The shower was unforgettable! Thank you!
The steps to get up to this sweet hideaway were a little more exercise than was ideal for two "late70 year old"
Otherwise, a lovely and peaceful little hideaway
I really like the location. the property is as described. The host is great. Read the other reviews. I thought they represented it well too. I hope to stay here again. Short walk to the Mission, Castro and Noe Valley. Muni access right there. Dolores Park is great.
We stayed for a week and found this to be the perfect location for the goals of our vacation (relaxing, walking around, eating great food). The host was extremely responsive and helpful. The space is small if you’re wanting to do things like work (just a bed and bathroom), but we loved the outside patio area and also just walked down to a little cafe on a day it was raining to hang for a bit. We also slept great - comfy bed and nice pillows. Our friends were staying in other parts of the city and always wanted to come our way to meet up, so I think that’s a great endorsement of the location!
Russ and his four-legged friend peanut were exceptional hosts. Russ helped with my luggage on arrival day one as well as stopping his day to make sure that he could help me with the luggage down on my departure. He was responsive and quick with recommendations for where I could eat even late at night, peanut was always there with a big smile. Whenever I was down to let me give her pets and cuddles and treats, of course. The bed was comfortable. The accommodations were sufficient, and the location was safe and private.
We were in town to see a concert in the Mission District and this was a perfect location. We had some very nice meals at Poesia, Tartine and Le Marais, all in easy walking distance. Check in and out was simple with great communication from our host. The room was well appointed and comfortable (super nice shower pressure too!).
Definitely would stay again
