We've resigned ourselves to the fact that a cute, dog-friendly apartment in San Francisco just might be an urban legend. For some reason landlords equate a dog's destructive tendencies to something on par with housing a wild grizzly bear or pack of weasels. That said, somehow there are dogs everywhere in the city, which begs the question, where do they all live? Our quest for finding decent housing for a human and a dog (at a deal) at first seemed like attempting to locate El Dorado, but we soon stumbled upon this little gem in Cole Valley. It's a studio (hence the low, low price) but french doors off of the kitchen open up to a private deck and large yard, perfect for your little doggie to run free. It also has hardwood floors, a dishwasher, and is located right by the N for easy transportation downtown. No word on if your bear can stay, but if they allow dogs perhaps anything is possible. $1375 Cole Valley Garden Apartment
