Available Room for Rent

Large Bedroom Available in Inner Richmond Flat Located Between Golden Gate and Presidio Parks

The flat is located on Clement Street in the Inner Richmond neighborhood between Golden Gate Park and Presidio Park, with easy commutes to four nearby hospitals. The flat is secure and well provisioned, and the neighborhood safe, convenient, and interesting, populated with stores to meet almost any need.

Known for its many restaurants, Clement Street is a fairly quiet residential neighborhood made of ground-floor storefronts with residential flats above. Among the many eateries are the Michelin Star sushi restaurant next door and the French bakery Arsicaut with its award-winning croissants.

The start of Clement Street is populated with some higher-end boutiques but transforms over the blocks westward to small restaurants and Chinese grocery stores, including the best Asian grocery store in the city. Within a block of the flat are a pizza place, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, French, Burmese, and sushi restaurants, a superfoods cafe, a children's store, a couple of cafes, and a laundromat. A Smart & Final grocery store is just a few blocks away, and Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Safeway are all within a 12-block radius, and several small corner grocery stores are close by.

Golden Gate Park is just five blocks to the south, and the entrance to the Presidio is about an equal distance to the north, while Ocean Beach is due west 40 blocks. The Golden Gate Bridge is just five minutes away by car or an hour's hike through Presidio Park!

The Flat
This second-story flat sits atop a hair and nail salon with equally quiet and considerate neighbors above and below. The living room overlooks the neighboring sushi restaurant giving the space an urban vibe.

This three-bedroom flat is 1,400 square feet space has either wood or tile floor. The kitchen has 11.5 ft. ceilings and is otherwise spacious and well-light. The stove is gas, the dishwasher brand new, and the fridge nice and big. The living room is a super comfy place to watch a movie or unwind, while the neat bathroom is equipped with a shower and bathtub.

The flat does not have a washing machine or dryer, but there are several laundry mats in the neighborhood, including one across the street, and a laundry service that will pick up, clean, and deliver your laundry Soap Box Cleaners.

Front Room
The front room that faces north is large, approximately 12 by 14 feet, with an 11.5-foot ceiling, and a large walk in closet

The room is furnished with a nearly new, queen-sized Tempur-Peidic mattress, a pair of antique chest drawers, a small desk, and bookshelves. The blinds can either filter light or block out light entirely. While not a busy thoroughfare, street sounds can be heard from about 6:00 am when the streets are cleaned until about 10:00 pm in the evening when most of the restaurants close. On Sundays, the farmers market that runs from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm often features a live music. These musicians run the gamut from acoustic guitar to amplified bands; the music never starts before 10:00 am.

Heat & Cooling
The flat is heated by electric wall heaters in all of the rooms except for the kitchen. Each wall unit is controlled manually. There is no central heat or air conditioning, but the latter isn't generally needed since the Inner Richmond benefits from the cool ocean breezes coming from the west.

The Backyard
The backyard is shared with the upstairs and downstairs neighbors but rarely used by either. It's quiet but otherwise unremarkable apart from a quasi greenhouse that can be used for storage.

Security
In the 14 years that I have lived in the flat, there have been no attempted break-ins or theft of any kind in the building. I have security cameras placed in the exterior and interior of the flat, the latter of which are covered to ensure privacy, and a video doorbell. The front door is a keypad entry that is always locked.
