We chose this apartment as our crash pad while we were touring San Francisco. It is immediately off the freeway and just outside the entrance of the Oakland Zoo. There is some road noise because it is next to the freeway, but we were so tired from our long days out that we didn't mind. The check in process was fine, but we arrived earlier than expected and Angelo needed to repair a few small things. The apartment has new carpet, paint and furniture. It had everything we needed. Angelo is a wonderful host and very responsive! He definitely wants your stay be as comfortable as possible!
