Great place and highly recommend. Bassel’s place is clean and quiet. It has lots of space. The bed was so comfy! Also I liked that Bassel had a whole bunch of tourist books - it helped us picked some spots. He also has a binder with menus of the local restaurants. Nice touch! It’s so close to transit. We used the bus and the train and it took us like 10 min to get to. Great communication with Bassel. The neighborhood has some cute shops - we liked the bakery and the Italian restaurants. It’s nice staying in West Portal because you feel more like a local. Great pick. The only thing I would recommend is that the place gets an Amazon fire stick - it has an Apple TV and it was hard for me coming from Canada to access the tv. But we weren’t there too much so it’s not too big of a deal.
