First of all, we liked the location and we were out of the house for most of our stay. It is convenient for BART to SF or Berkeley and there are some nice restaurants close by. There is parking on site, too. This is a neighborhood in transition so some people might not feel comfortable in it. We felt safe.
Ann recently upgraded this small, rather dark 3 bedroom. We aired out the place because the smell of new carpet and paint was strong. There are new appliances.
The place was uneven in terms of upgrades. There was some very old furniture and fixtures and one of the beds gave no support. That bedroom also had a light on outside the window over night so it was hard to sleep there. The neighborhood is noisy so we had to close the windows at night. There is also major construction (just starting) right next door so after 8 am during the week it is tough to sleep.
I feel badly for giving it such a luke warm review - I know Ann did put money and effort into the improvements and she cares a lot about her property - but I would say it's an inexpensive place for this area and you get what you pay for.
Ann herself was hospitable and even called to make sure we took extra care en route when she found out we were driving on a road that has had lots of accidents lately.
