The apartment was as described. It was very quiet and I slept well. At first I thought the lack of a window was weird but it contributed it to the quiet. The only issue with the apartment was that the wifi did not work on the second night. The immediate area was sketchy because it was fairly desolate with only homeless people out and about. Just a weird and vulnerable feeling I'm not used to and that seemed to permeate much of the city, including the nicer hotels in the city center, not just the apartment location. Just one block behind the apartment is Old Oakland, which was a nice area with restaurants, and the apartment was also convenient to the downtown area. I was there for work, so I was between the apartment and the Telegraph Building primarily. The apartment is convenient to BART and it took me less than 20 mins to get to San Francisco.
