Very convenient place for a San Francisco trip! You can pass easily to SF for $5 except Bay Bridge traffic. Also, it is very close to Oakland airport. Marlene lives upstairs but the place is totally private. She is very responsive. I talked about the rust in tea pot and she said she would change it. Very clean, comfortable and practical apartment. The door was not so much strong but it opens to the backyard which has another locked door. Neighborhood was silent and safe.There was enough parking space in front of the door. I would stay again.
