This is a good location in a "gritty but hip" part of Oakland. There is great eating on the doorstep, and the neighborhood is good for walking if you go in the right directions. House gets hot on a summer day and it's hard to cool it down so you have to crank the fans or sit on the stoop to cool down if you're not out exploring. House is on a nice block and is one of a bunch of cute craftsman bungalows on the street. Front yard could use a bit of TLC but overall it's a decent base for exploring.
