This is a ground/basement level property that seems used only as a short term rental. I'd call it "no frills, comfy zen". At it's price point it's far better than other options - mainly competing with vacant cluttered collegic housing, or just a room versus a whole apartment. Fulltime tenants live above, I expected more noise but was delighted how quiet things were and shared friendly smiles when we crossed paths.
Not only was it sparkling clean with fresh bright paint and newly grouted tiles in the bathroom, but there were artful touches here and there including a lovely selection of books.
Arriving after a workday, being met with a warmly lit and heated space felt very relaxing and more chill than my typical hotel experiences. The short walk over to the Marketplace, across from Rockridge Bart, was felt safe and I was able to enough a European grocery experience.
There was an issue that arose with the apt. during my stay but Jeri was very responsive, communicative and had everything resolved by the time I returned from work. And the owner fairly compensated for the issue. What more can you ask for when life happens?
