The apartment overall was great - such a homely feel and so many beautiful and thoughtful touches that some Airbnb’s can often lack.
The area for us did feel a little unsafe, but I’m not sure if this was because of being aware of some of the recent crime in the area - however I’m sure this passes through most neighbourhoods and we were just there at a unfortunate time. I know the neighbours are keeping an eye on things until this passes.
I have to be honest for the purpose of the review - and that if I were a female travelling alone I would feel a little uneasy. However if you’re in a couple it should be fine.
As mentioned I’m sure this is a short term thing only.
This does not reflect on the apartments fantastic amenities and touches. Our hosts were really lovely and made us feel very welcome. Thank you so much for the bits left in the fridge for us! The herbal teas were also a god send as I was full of cold.
Location wise you have a superb whole foods market that has everything and more plus great take out food. The BART is easily walkable. The ferry is a nice ride too which I believe has a free shuttle if you walk around 10-15 to the high street (however this does not run on the weekend).
Thank you again to you both for having us!!
