You can't really find a better location and the apartment worked out fantastically well for my stay. Maybe I'm partial since I lived in the neighborhood when I was doing my graduate work, but Rockridge has just about everything you could want within a short walk -- access to BART, a Trader Joe's, a ton of restaurants. The apartment was comfortable and perfect for my needs on a work trip. Amy was a fantastic host and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again next time I'm in the area.
