We loved the location of this place. It is in a residential neighborhood so you have neighborhood restaurants and markets within walking distance. The Alameda metro station is only a 10 minute walk. The photos of the apartment are very accurate. There is street noise at night until midnight or so, and then again by 8am. For those used to city sounds, it is fine. For others, it may be a distraction. While the kitchen is well stocked with dishware and cooking pots, there are no other amenities such as cooking oil, herbs, spices, etc. This apartment is great if you do not want to really cook and if you are not looking for “homey” touches.
