Alex's place is great! We stayed here for 3 weeks and it was terrific for a long-term stay. Accommodations are very well thought out - Alex's place had almost everything we needed. Alex was very responsive when I had a question or issue. We really enjoyed the location. Portrero Hill area feels safe and there were some great restaurants within walkable distance (we loved the Plow and Farley's). Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Safeway are all easily accessible within a 5-10 minute car ride. There is also ample parking on the street abutting the house or the street above. For laundry services I recommend Laundre (cleanest I found and good machines).
