Fabulous location near Lake Merritt, which has a 3.25 walking/running trail around it, a wildlife refuge, many different birds, and lots of activity (and everchanging scene of music, dance, tai chi, vendors, picnickers, runners, walkers, etc.). The best laundromat ever is just around the corner, along with a great neighborhood café and the Leaning Tower of Pizza. It's just a few minutes walk to a bus and about 20-30 to the nearest BART stations. Trader Joe's, drugstores, restaurants, and a spice shop are all within a walkable distance. The apartment is quiet and breezy with great light. The bathroom is newly renovated, bed is very comfortable, everything is clean and welcoming. Recommended!
