I couldn't find a better host if I was paid to! My girlfriend and I loved our stay at Hicham's. Granted, this area may get a bad rep, but we never felt unsafe at any point in time and we both took the bus and bart to commute at all hours.

Hicham is incredibly nice, helpful and fun to be around. I hope to continue to see him after our stay as we are in the process of moving to the bay area.
