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.

Cute studio suite...precious pup peanut!
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.

Excellent location and very helpful host
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!

Quiet room in SF
Small, cute, and quiet space in a great location. Be prepared for climbing as this is near the top of a hill. Delores Park is good for people watching (and an awesome view of the city). Lots of nearby options for tasty food. La Maison Bleue (Maxime Le Forestier) is a block away.

Super Cute Dolores Heights Getaway
My husband and I loved being immersed in this amazing neighborhood. It’s super walkable (the host provides a perfect walking map along with great area recommendations) and being in the row houses on a beautiful hill overlooking the park gives you the perfect San Fran vibes. To access the suite you climb several sets of stairs, go through secure gates and down a quaint hallway. This opens up to a back courtyard that feels like an extension of your room. The suite itself is a bedroom plus bathroom and although small had absolutely everything we needed (including Keurig!). Russ was very accommodating and there for anything we needed- we highly recommend his property. Thanks for a great stay!

In the heart of it all! Mattress was stellar! Loved having a bidet just like home. Lots to love, but be aware there is no place to put your stuff. No drawers, no dressers, just 4 hangers on hooks. The space is smaller than it appears from the photos. Scrupulously clean and so beautifully located.

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
