My husband and I spent four nights at Alex's place. The apartment is located a few blocks away from the 24th and Mission BART station, which was extremely convenient for our arrival from SFO (we could have taken a Lyft, but chose the public transportation). For the rest of our stay, we used a combination of Lyft drivers and the bus located just a few feet from Alex's stoop.
The first thing you should be aware of is the apartment is located at the top floor of the building. There are no elevators, so you will be walking up and down steps for the duration of your visit. Once inside, you are treated to a commanding view of Twin Peaks from the living room window. We found the view inspiring every morning: the famous fog blanked the slopes as my husband sipped his coffee.
Alex's kitchen is spacious with a small table seating three for meals and a long wooden topped island for prep. Alex left a few items for us to use (cereal, tea, etc.), which we thought was very accommodating. The stove-top and appliances were clean, functional, and more than enough for the light meal prep typical of a vacation. Truthfully, we found nothing lacking in the kitchen, and we probably could have used it more had we not eaten out.
The bathroom featured a handsome claw-footed tub equipped with a shower, which gave great hot water! Clean and well-maintained, it was nice to use a facility as functional as this.
The bedroom looks over the street with morning sun warming the room early. Even though my husband and I pack light for most trips, this room would have been spacious enough for for a more luggage. We found the bed comfortable enough to push our important plans back an hour or two as we lay snug and warm.
Clean and well-maintained, we would definitely stay with Alex again on our next trip to the bay.
