Ghirardelli Square Studio Flooded with Natural Light & Sweeping Views of the Bay, Easy Load in/Load out; Includes: full kitchen, movable wall partition, private bathroom & movable furniture

Free street parking, Metered street parking, Nearby parking lot

Our studio is accessible from the street level with free street parking down the street by the Maritime Museum and metered street parking right outside. We also have Ghirardelli Parking Garage directly next door for your convenience! You can check out parking garage here: https://www.ghirardellisq.com/visit.

The entire front wall of our studio is floor-to-ceiling window facing the bay, Alcatraz, and the Aquatic Park. The front lounge near the front windows is bathed in natural sunlight throughout the entire day, and as you walk further into the space, the light diminishes slightly. We offer overhead lighting throughout the entire space as well. The "golden hour" right before sunset offers beautiful lighting throughout the day as well. The space does not have blinds, so natural light can solely be controlled by moving further back in the space away from the windows.

You cannot hear neighbors. We are on Beach Street (on the street-level of Ghirardelli Square) so you can hear the bus passing by on occasion if you are near the windows. The space has an industrial sized refrigerator and freezer which makes noise regularly. The space also has a heater and fan which can be turned off as needed.

Ground Floor

We are on the street-level of Ghirardelli Square directly next to a parking garage with metered parking right out front. We have a wagon you can use to haul equipment as well. Entrance does not require a ramp. While there is no dedicated loading zone, we often double park to unload, then move the car to a metered spot or parking garage.

The studio has a movable wall partition that can be divided in half as needed. We also have a private bathroom for wardrobe.

Back storage closet.

There are numerous outlets throughout the space, including hanging extension cords on either side of the ceiling to be used anywhere in the space. All outlets have the voltage maximums written above. The circuit breaker can be found in the back storage room. We are a working kitchen, so our outlets can accommodate a good amount of power.
