Home in San Francisco

Beautiful period-decorated room + shared bath in a well maintained 1890 Victorian home. Walk to the Mission, BART, Muni, Dolores Park. You have a beautiful, newly remodeled bath shared with one other room. Please forget your past experience of shared baths. Here, all shower shelves, towel bars and cabinets are labeled by room number, creating clear boundaries. Cleaning is regular and you'll likely never find other guests' mess in your way. It's highly organized - just see my reviews. The space The space itself is about 13 x 17 with huge bay windows and 10 foot ceilings. The window coverings are highly light blocking. The bed is a Queen size with very comfortable mattress. My guests frequently remark on the comfort of my mattresses. There is a very comfortable reading nook with a Howard Elliot chair that cradles you for the perfect meditation or reading session. You can also work or have coffee or meals by the window at the bistro table set up. Should you need faster speed than WiFi, there is also a gigabit speed Ethernet port and cable to connect to. While I do not have any televisions in the house, this should provide you with incredible streaming access on your laptop and your zoom meetings will be free of stutter and freeze up. The cable also reaches the bistro table so you can sit by the window and enjoy watching the street life while you Zoom. The (faux but original) fireplace is backlit through stained glass I added to produce a wonderful nightlight ambiance. The double wide antique armoire offers ample drawer and hanging space for most guests, and for those staying longer, closet space across the hall may be available as well. This has been my own room for many years but I have recently moved upstairs to a new room I just updated. Two items to consider are the fact that this room is in the front of the house and also not far from the kitchen. If you are bothered by the moderate noise of life it may not be a good fit. I always found the close access to the kitchen very convenient while working from home! Guest access You have a designated bath, which is very new and of hotel quality, shared with only one other room, If it is occupied when you need it in a hurry, you may use either of the two other baths on the next floor, though if possible, please try to use your designated bathroom for longer activities such as showering. My excellent reviews (see my other listings by clicking on my profile picture) reflect the fact that you will almost always find the baths sparkling clean despite their shared status. I do a lot of work from home and make it a point to check in on all bathrooms at various times during the day and touch them up as needed. Importantly, they are organized to show room numbers on towel bars, shelves, drawers, etc. so as to maintain clear boundaries with the other room using the bath. The automated vent fans are also very strong, with over-sized ducts to keep the air clean at all times. I aim to provide you a near hotel quality stay - the shared bath should feel almost like your own. You also have access to the kitchen which houses your own designated refrigerator (identified by a room number is on the front of each refrigerator) and cabinet space for dry goods, similarly numbered. The kitchen has counter seats for eating or hanging out and talking to people while they cook. There is also a laundry room off the kitchen with detergent available. No coins are necessary; it is no extra charge. Feel free to ask about how to use the machines. Detergent, an iron and ironing board and water spray bottle are also found there. All necessary information to access any of this as well as the house itself will be sent in a message after you book. My reviews also frequently mention the value and clarity of the information you'll receive to enjoy the house. Finally, for guests who are arriving in the city well before check-in time, or departing the city significantly after check-out time, I have a closet to hold your bags while you savor a few bonus hours in my fair city. During your stay While I am around the house most of the time, I will send you very explicit instructions for unassisted check in at whatever hour you arrive. Doubtless, we will pass in the hall or in the kitchen but you needn't feel compelled to interact with me unless you have questions or want to know more about the house's history, etc. I do adore talking to my guests when they are open to it. I work from home most of the time, so I am mostly available for instant answers or fixes if something is malfunctioning. (I have a complete wood shop/tool shop in the basement for almost any kind of repairs) Other things to note If you are bringing a car, let me know if you plan to leave the car parked without moving it for more than half a day at a time. Parking is free but can be time limited without a residential permit. I can have such temporary permits available at the cost charged by the city. I usually have some in inventory of day permits but the more I know about your plans, the better choices I can offer you, which can SOMETIMES include my saving a street parking space nearby for you that might allow for multiple days of continuous free parking.
