The location of Ariel’s place is great! It is close to the BART and the bus stop. Ariel was always quick to respond to messages. I do wish some information about the apartment and the area and been left by the host. Also, if you are staying for any length of time, or like to unpack your suitcases, this may not be the listing for you. The only clothing storage available is in the night stand. I would probably stay here again, but there was a horrible Jack-hammer like noise that sometimes came from the air vent- it was loud enough to wake me from a sound sleep. This was not the AC unit, and when I enquired, Ariel indicated that it was part of the building’s ventilation. Sometimes, turning the AC on drowned out the sound. Sometimes not.
