This place is in a safe and quiet location, but still walking distance to lots of shops, Lake Merritt, and a nice farmers market on the weekends. The neighborhood is hilly, but lovely to walk around in the evenings. The furnishings are basic, but otherwise functional and clean. The bedroom is a good size. The main cons were that I was not able to close one of the windows all the way and there is no on premises parking. The street parking was not too bad, but it is hilly around, so would be more challenging if you have mobility issues. All up, I'd stay here again.
