I could never have imagined a better place and host for my arrival at SF. The place is extremely beautiful, decorated with taste and offering a mind blowing view over the city. It is perfectly located at the top of Noe Valley and close to 24th street which offers all kind of shops and restaurants. Above all, Alex was the most wonderful host - he really is a very kind, welcoming, and interesting san franciscan! Upon my arrival and throughout the two weeks where I stayed at his place, he constantly provided me with numerous tips and his help on many things was key in enabling me to settle down happily in the city. Alex is also very cautious about his guests' comfort and extremely respectful. Beyond being the perfect flatmate, he is a great person and I definitely hope to stay in touch. The place and host were beyond my expectations. For all of these reasons I strongly recommend staying at Alex's place !
