House Rules

Bali Hai Castro is a unique property and you will have a very memorable stay.

98% of my guests are wonderful and I always recommend them to other hosts. In order to provide this experience to guests throughout the year, here are some basic rules for everyone who stays:

NO PARTIES - STRICTLY ENFORCED: As Bali Hai Castro is located in a residential neighborhood, and to respect all the neighbors, no parties or events are allowed. If you want to invite friends or family over during the daytime/evening, that is fine as long as the maximum number of guests in the house is no more than 8 -- including those staying here.

NOISE LEVEL: Please keep noise to a reasonable level during the daytime. Between the hours of 10 PM and 8 AM, the garden/hot tub is off-limits and music/noise needs to be kept to no more than a regular conversation level. There are NoiseAware decibel monitoring devices in the house and backyard, and guests will be notified if the noise level exceeds acceptable levels.

HOT TUB: For noise and liability reasons, access to the hot tub is limited exclusively to registered guests — no outside visitors are allowed.

NO SHOE POLICY: Please note that since this is an Asian-inspired house -- and in order to keep the home as clean as possible for your stay, there is a no-shoe policy inside the house. House slippers are provided for all guests.

Congratulations!

Your payment was successful and the reservation is confirmed!

Guest access
Enjoy exclusive access to the home and garden of Bali Hai Castro (excluding the downstairs suite accessed from an outside staircase). A keyless electronic lock ensures convenient entry, and you'll receive the entry code upon check-in.
Additional notes
- San Francisco Short-Term Rental Permit: Filed with the city.
- Please treat my home with respect and keep noise levels reasonable.
- There are decibel monitoring devices inside the living room and dining room of the house to adhere to the city noise restrictions between 10PM and 8AM. These ONLY monitor noise levels and will send guests an automated text if levels are exceeded.
- Note that the house is on a hill and there are a few steps up to the front door.
- Per San Francisco regulations, the owner stays in a separate unit on the property (accessed from the street) and does not share any access to guest space except for the washer/dryer.
- Enjoy the proximity to everything the city offers from my convenient location.
Guest interaction
I love learning all about my guests and welcome company. I usually try to be here when my guests arrive to show them the highlights of Bali Hai Castro and provide recommendations for their stay. After that, I am available for any advice or questions by text, phone, or in person.

I stay in a separate lower-level suite (with direct street access) along with Dexter, my medium-sized, well-behaved, hypoallergenic, and quiet dog (trust me, you will fall in love!).

I am a long-time San Francisco resident and can give you great advice about sight-seeing spots and restaurants -- or answer other questions that you may have.

Let me know if you have any questions or go ahead and book your stay at Bali Hai Castro -- this is a property you will put at the top of your list for many years to come!
Neighborhood overview
Bali Hai Castro is a short walk from the vibrant Castro District’s restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets, and multiple public transport options. It is also convenient for Corona Heights Park’s tennis and basketball courts, plus a hiking trail with stunning city views.
Getting around
The house comes with a driveway parking spot, so if you bring your car or rent one, you don’t have to worry about street parking!

The MUNI underground is only a 5-minute walk, which will take you to the downtown shopping district in only 6 minutes. In the same spot, you can find above-ground busses and street cars.

Apart from driving and public transport, San Francisco has literally thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers and it is never more than about a 5-minute wait to have a car pull up at the front door.

Walking in the area is safe and provides a great way to see the area — in addition to being good exercise!
