Neighborhoods
Just arrived and looking for something easy to do or a local meal? Not only does our house provide you easy access to downtown via the train system, but there’s also plenty to do right here in Glen Park. Turn left out of our house and it’s a 3 minute walk to enter Glen Park Canyon, a 70 acre nature preserve with hiking trails and stunning natural views. Turn right out of our house and it’s a 5 minute walk to the quaint village of Glen Park. All of our restaurants are family owned and operated.
If you have limited time and could only do a few things we’d recommend first checking out the park. It is an incredible canyon with unbeatable views, you won't believe you’re still in the city! Then walk to the village and get a sandwich from Cheese Boutique and head across the street to check out the books piled to the ceiling at Bird & Beckett Books

If you’re going downtown we HIGHLY recommend you take BART.
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
If you make a right out of the house, it is a 5 minute walk to BART (San Francisco’s major subway network.)
You can buy tickets right there are the station using cash or credit card.
For BART you pay based on how far you travel, it is approximately $2 to get downtown.
Our stop is called Glen Park stop and every different line runs through our stop. That means if you’re going downtown you can get on any train going inbound. (Richmond, Antioch, Dublin/Pleasanton, Warm Springs/South Fremont.)

Glen Park Canyon
Glen Canyon Park Trail is a 70-acre park and trail across the street from your studio! It features beautiful wildflowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Plus it's super dog-friendly!
We have some sports equipment, like a volleyball net and spike ball that you're welcome to borrow and take to the park.
Definitely don't miss the surreal feeling of being out on a wilderness hike while also being in the midst of San Francisco!
