Jose & Julia have done a wonderful job of creating a secure place in a marginal neighborhood. They keep the spacious interior clean, and have sensibly laid out the space for travelers: a fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, utensils and plates, nice linens, and two-sink bath were all great. Easy access to BART transportation makes this a great spot to visit San Francisco from. The off-street parking, locking gates, and security of the apartment are comforting. Julia communicated extremely well with us, with perfect details about check-in and check-out. We'd recommend Jose & Julia's place with the caveat that the surrounding neighborhood made us a little nervous.
