My friend and I stayed at Alek's place for a month while visiting San Francisco. It's about a 10 minute walk to food / public transit, but there is plenty of street parking if you have a car and it's one of the quietest, safest neighborhoods I've lived in in the city. Every space in the house is clean and well-maintained -- we couldn't believe that we essentially had five rooms to ourselves! Alek is friendly and responsive. Could not have asked for a better host or a better stay.
