The location is close to the UC Berkeley campus and it was overall quiet. It's up on a hill so there's a beautiful view of the bay area. The apartment is small but definitely enough room for two people. When I got there, Nhu wasn't home and the directions to get to the apartment were confusing, but once we figured it out it was easy to access. The only problems that we had with the apartment were that it was rather dusty and there wasn't (or we couldn't find) any sort of central heating so it got cold at night (the weather was in the 40s at night).
