What a great deal! The apartment is very clean and well-decorated, and has everything you need during your stay. Fast internet, two large TVs, gas stove and microwave, washer & dryer, outside picnic area, etc. You're a couple blocks from city-center which is full of cafes and restaurants. You're a 15-20 minute walk to Lake Merritt or Jack London Square. And you're just a few blocks from the Uptown area, which is where all the nightlife is. The BART train stops 2 blocks away, and there are rental scooters everywhere, so you really don't need a car at all. The neighbors are friendly as well. I've seen other reviews complain about noise, but I didn't experience that. There are some kids up the block that listen to music outside, but they are several houses away, nowhere near the apartment. There is also construction nearby but it is only during the day and not bad at all. I had video conference calls everyday without any noise issue, and I slept like a baby at night. If you're super-sensitive then maybe bring some earplugs? If not, then don't worry about it. Thank you Brittney!
