If you value privacy and don’t need prompt or any communication with owner, then this is an absolutely lovely private apartment. I was disappointed that 2 messages sent via Abnb went unanswered. After arriving in the Bay Area, when asking locals about the area, they said we “should” be ok leaving our car on the street there, but recommended we return to the apartment before dark. With that being said, we did return about 9pm one night, the outside light was bright for our entrance and our car was safe and sound. This apartment is below main house and you will definitely hear normal foot noise from above, but really no big deal with it being pretty quiet by 10pm and early morning. On positive, the pictures really don’t do it justice, very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated place.
