Jamal's place is wonderful! I stayed here with my girlfriend for a month while she visited. The location was ideal, as I'm currently working in the area. Piazza Carmel (Vons, restaurants, etc.) is within walking distance. The place is exactly the same as the pictures provided and was already fully stocked with plenty of amenities. Jamal even graciously helped us resolve an unexpected situation towards the end of our stay.
I would highly recommend Jamal's place to anyone looking to stay in the area. Thank you, Jamal!
