The location of the apartment is perfect - right in the center of a vibrant urban community. You can easily walk to everything - bookstores, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. It's a wonderful walk of about 30-40 minutes to UC Berkeley or you can easily catch a bus. The BART station to go into San Francisco or other places is only a few blocks away. The bed is super comfy and everything is tidy and clean. You have a full kitchen if you desire to use it. The check-in process was very easy. During the day there is music playing at a restaurant downstairs that you can hear in the bedroom and there is a good amount of street noise most of the day and evening, but that is to be expected considering the location.
