This apartment is well appointed with good amenities. However, it is located in a flight path of a number of planes taking off from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) every day, so be prepared for some noise, i.e., bring your earplugs! The hosts, Lena, Marina, and Leo, are very kind and helpful. The apartment is private and secure. The water pressure in the shower is average and the apartment was very clean (other than a bit of mildew along the sill of the window located in the shower stall, but that is common with so much moisture coming from the shower). I did not need anything from the hosts during my visit and they were very respectful of my space and privacy. If you have business or pleasure meetings in the SF Bay Area and wish to be centrally located, this is a good place to stay--just bring your earplugs and you'll be fine. After awhile, one tends to get used to the sound of the planes anyway. Overall, it was a good experience.
