This is a lovely little spot in the heart of a great East Bay neighbourhood: clean, comfortable, convenient and affordable. The apartment is a very short walk to BART and a nice meander to the Berkeley campus down College Avenue. Safeway is right across the street, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I didn't really hear noise from downstairs at all. My stay coincided with a heatwave, and unfortunately there was no AC or fan — but for a majority of the year this wouldn't be a problem. Hope I can stay again!
