We arrived early, and Alan was accommodating with this, and ready for our arrival. There is a lock box outside to access the studio apartment; we never had direct interaction with Alan. He prefers communication to occur through the Airbnb app. The studio apartment is private, has a private entrance, and is very clean. There is a small refrigerator. We used public transportation while there. The BART station is about 1 mile down 24th street, and is easily walkable. We used the number 10 bus to get from around Chinatown back to our studio apartment, and it dropped us off nearly at the doorstep. There is a little store right next door to purchase beverages, etc. Many restaurants are nearby and within walking distance. I loved the neighborhood and its urban feel, but may have felt unsafe without my husband.
