A home away from home is definitely what I thought of when I stayed in Bassel's adorable place. You can't beat the location. I enjoyed walking along the streets full of beautiful houses to get to the Muni Station (about five short blocks). Bassel left a binder full of suggestions for stores and restaurants in the area. Squat and Cobble's breakfast menu is a must as well as the dinner menu at Roti's Indian Bistro. I was in the city to visit my niece, who attends SFSU (about 5 Muni stops away). We considered Bassel's place our central meeting location before heading into the city. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. And, I would definitely stay here again. :)
