Leon's place offers excellent value for the money spent! His flat is stylish and equipped like in a five-star hotel, at the same time you get the space equivalent to three hotel rooms. It is also sparkling clean!!!! Bus #14 stops right in front of Leon's house and takes you to the BART station West Oakland, making downtown San Francisco reachable within 20-30 minutes. That way, I commuted daily to the Moscone conference center without any problems. The neighborhood is historically industrial, but now fledgling with new developments. Anyways, I felt safe at all times. I can highly recommend this place both for a single traveler and a couple.
