This is a nice downstairs unit, with a private entrance separate from the host's home. It was very clean and comfortably furnished with an excellent bed, good shower and just enough kitchen equipment. Good, safe street parking. Alex and Liliya were just upstairs and while I didn't meet Liliya, Alex did greet me and I felt that he would have fixed anything that wasn't right.

The location--edge of the St. Francis Woods neighborhood, on the southwest side of San Francisco--is interesting, kind of an architectural history lesson. The view from the apartment is nice, overlooking a valley (full of houses) and with the ocean in the distance.

All-in-all, a good value and an excellent base for exploring a great city.
