The location is excellent - 9 minutes walk to Macarthur BART, 40 minutes door to door to the centre, and the walk feels safe, past some terrific, excellent restaurants (try the Korean BBQ). The apartment itself is secure and very quiet. I'm told there are geese in the garden, but I did not hear them. This is not an operating theatre - it is cosy and comfortable. The amenities are as you'd expect, and the bathroom - which is a critical factor for me - is excellent. I didn't use the kitchen, but it looked good. Some people might find the ceilings low and the rooms smallish, but I did not at all. Ann will communicate with you a lot during the booking and checkin process, and I wish I'd had more time to hear her genuinely fascinating life stories. Great location, great value, good shower - I recommend.
