Alex's place matched my expectation from the listing and I would not hesitate to stay at Alex's again. We booked our lodging a bit last minute for San Francisco standards and a lot of other bookings were priced very high. Alex's home was the only lodging that was priced well for location and a clean room. We felt safe walking around the area both at night and during the day.
The check in and out process was easy and we had no problem getting there late in the evening. There was plenty of provided bottles of water, toilet paper, and extra pillows available in the room closet.
The location while not close to the busy or late night downtown areas was never a problem and worked out well thanks to transit options, and it was nice to be on a quieter residential street. One block north you could easily catch a single bus (the #1 bus) that takes you into downtown. Transit was never a problem and never more than 2 buses from where we wanted to go. We also used ride share services which had no problem navigating to Alex's from the airport of from other parts of San Francisco. It was easy to find food during the day going one or two blocks in either direction from Alex's.
We spent some time exploring the Outer Richmond and Richmond area near Alex's home and found some great spots to eat, drink and get caffeine. I'll definitely return.
We found some evidence that past guest at Alex's home didn't treat the properly respectfully and cleaned up the sneaky areas past guest didn't treat nicely. I like to try to leave a place better than I arrived. I do not blame or fault Alex for this.
Thank you Alex. Would be happy to stay at your place again.
