If you're looking for a home away from home, Alexandra's place is it. Conveniently located walking distance to anything you may want or need. Should you have a car, there is a parking spot, though, it is a little tight so you definitely need something compact. I had a rental (Toyota 4wr) did not fit but when I got my car back (BMW coupe) it was not a problem. Though, you're central to many activities you can walk anywhere or uber. The neighborhood is amazing. You have coffee shops, book stores, Fresh Brothers (delicious Pizza) and UCB (Comedy club) within walking distance. The AC was perfect and much appreciated because we managed to stay cool inside. There is washer and dryer in the property but do require quarters :) The only downside: There was some folks/person puffing Marry Jane downstairs and every now and then and the smell crept into our apartment (windows were closed) and well, ya know, created a natural home incense, though, with most Californians partaking in such vices, one can hardly complain about that, so it may really not be a con and an opportunity to spark up a conversation. To be fair, I could hardly smell it but my significant otter ;) has a delicate nose and if you're one of those, maybe, just maybe get a candle to help and voila! problem averted :) I had to put in a con because usually when things are too good to be true, they aren't but seriously Alexandra's place is! She is quick to reply and would recommend anyone to stay here.
I travel a lot for work (almost Ambassador again with Marriott - look that up) and rarely find an Airbnb that makes me feel like home, Alexandra's place did just that. I would have stayed longer but future dates were already booked :/
If you're having to look for a place long-term, this is it. Do yourself a favor and hit the book button. You won't regret it.
Cheers mates,
