I stayed at Alicia's studio for 10 weeks and it was a great experience. The apartment is cozy and private as the entrance is through the backyard. Alicia and family were very welcoming and helpful with whatever I needed. The neighborhood was nice with a couple good little downtown areas nearby and close proximity to all of the rest of the city a few exits away. There's also Joaquin Miller Park a short walk away which has some nice redwood hikes, and the 33 bus is a pretty quick way to get to the 12th street BART. Parking was plentiful and easy, but the streets are pretty narrow so I'd suggest parking very close to the curb and not on the corner. My girlfriend's car actually got sideswiped by a school bus from parking in a tight spot. Otherwise, a highly recommended stay!
