I stayed a total of 5 months in Bayview at Jackie's place. Her and Jorge were offered stellar hospitality. The place is exactly as described in hostil style. In 5 months I always had hot water and never waited once for the shower with 3 total in the building. The kitchen was big and I was provided my own private locker in the kitchen. Jorge and his young family were so happy and helpful I loved seeing them. My apartment was extremely comfortable. I had my own closet, desk and two windows facing the street. My last month there were many home improvements taking place to improve the already very good overall experience. I feel like for the price of what is out there it was an incredible value. I felt fairly treated and that the place was advertised exactly as it is. The muni train was just a 5 minute walk down McKinnon. If you have a car I do recommend paying for covered parking somewhere. I wish I would have spent the extra even three hundred a month anywhere just to keep the car safe. It would have saved me double that. If you are new to San Francisco and you think your going to save money by parking on the street, well that was me and I learned the hard way. (This is of no reflection to the 5 stars of Jackie’s place at all the place) in 5 months I had the car window smashed, the car keyed, nails put in the tires and the car towed for parking too close to a driveway (not in the driveway). San Francisco is not a car friendly city.
I looked at the bright side and made videos about my experiences. Even on my birthday when I walked out to find the Car Window smashed in I wanted to cry, but I made a video about it and promised myself that something good would come of it. And something far greater did come of it. Over the 5 month period I made over 100 highly inspired you tube videos for my channel many of which were on location or walking off location. Hundreds of thousands, even millions of people have seen some of these videos and many lives have been inspired and will continue to. I owe a big thank you to Jackie and Jorge for the opportunity. They worked hard to get my 5 star review and deserve all the fruits of their labor. If you are on a budget with no car and want some privacy, this place is hard to beat. 5 stars.
