Location is amazing and super close to BART for my commute into the city.
The apartment is very clean and functional. Host’s communication was great. The bedroom is a bit small but I was by myself so it didn’t really matter that the bed was pushed up against the wall. There were so many good restaurants nearby that I barely used the kitchen but it did look well stocked. There is no TV but I didn’t mind that as the description did mention it didn’t have one and it was kind of nice without.
The neighborhood is fairly quiet except for the delivery trucks that back up (Beep! Beep! Beep!) and loudly unload their items for the store & bakery next door at about 5:30 in the morning each day. Ear plugs didn’t help unfortunately so when the trucks started coming, that was my alarm clock each day.
The early morning noise next door is obviously not the host’s fault. The apartment is pretty old so the windows aren’t insulated and given that this particular apartment is on the back corner of the building, it was about as close as you could be to the noise. I would think that other apartments in this building are probably a tad bit quieter.
My stay was fine but I probably wouldn’t stay here again because of the noise. I would consider another one of the apartments in the building if they were quieter. The location is fantastic and again, the hosts were great.
