Xander and Spike shared an apartment, rented at the same building and floor as Buffy, Willow, and Dawn's apartment and Giles's apartment, in Tenderloin, San Francisco.[1] Other residents included Ghost Anya and six cats.[2]

History[]

After the Scoobies returned from the assistance in Santa Rosita's zompire crisis,[3] they faced dissatisfaction with their living conditions and rent prices. Spike had been sleeping at Andrew's in a futon, and Xander didn't want to continue living with Dawn while they were on a break from their relationship.[4]

Robert Dowling handled them a case of a supposedly haunted building, which was instead infested by a Hamelin demon. The demon trapped the Scoobies in its reality, but they were able to free themselves and the missing children who had previously lived in the building.[4]

Prominent events[]

Game night

Despite initially fighting about their differences while moving in, bickering about Xander's maquettes and Spike's soap opera digests, they quickly found a common ground in their shared apartment's coexistence.[1]

After Willow set security spells in the apartment, it became a temporary safeguard for the Vampyr book whenever it was needed. However, Andrew and Harmony were able to take it from the apartment in two occasions.[1][5]

When Buffy and Spike got together, they took down various of Xander's figurines from the shelves. Xander was able to listen to the destruction from Buffy, Willow, and Dawn's apartment.[6]

Ghost Anya also resided in the apartment as she haunted Xander. She spent most of her time in his bedroom, but she could phase through the wall and see Buffy and Spike's discussions.[7]

When Spike rescued six cats from a game of kitten poker, he gave them to Xander and promised to find them a home in the following day.[8] Instead, some of the kittens grew into adults cats still under their care.[9]

After Anya's death, her funerary urn was placed in the apartment's living room.[10]

At the apartment, while researching about the Shenlong dragon, the Scoobies said goodbye to Andrew before he went to Italy. Soon after, they first heard about the Safe Zone implementation by watching the live broadcast pronunciation of Press Secretary Joanna Wise and Secretary of Supernatural Ophelia Reyes.[11]
