The location was truly ideal -close to Trader Joe's, markets, restaurants, Bart, bus lines. As described, the unit was in an older building but it was very comfortable and very quiet at night. The kitchen was missing some things that are usually found but was otherwise very easy to use. The only real problem was the daytime noise due to remodeling going on in the building - lots of loud pounding, banging, drilling, etc. which made staying there in the daytime rather unpleasant.
