First thing's first: this is Oakland. It's generally not safe to walk around at night (in some parts during the day, too). While Jeffrey's place looks like it's in a rough neighborhood, it's actually relatively safe. The doors have solid locks, and it's off a busy street so there's less chance of shady stuff going on.

Each room has it's own lock, and things in the house are relatively quiet (no parties, no loud guests). The only thing is it can get a little humid in the room if you've been out all day. The main selling point is being close to the airport and the Oracle Arena. Can't really beat the price for the location and amenities.
