We had a pleasant stay in the apartment. It’s centrally located to a lot of Berkeley and to northern Oakland. As some of the reviews mentioned, the ceilings are a bit low. It might be an issue for anyone over 6’2”, I would say. The apartment overall has a bit of wear and tear to it, noticeable in some of the wall scuffs (careful of the refrigerator door, it bangs into the wall every time it’s opened). The appliances work well, and the hot water is plentiful. There is no garbage disposal, which we found a little odd while cooking, but worked around it. We were happy to find plenty of pots and pans to cook with. Outside, we found street parking easily every night. Overall I would recommend.
