good value. newly updated. location is on a pleasant residential street. the exterior and interior of home welcoming, tidy and well cared for. easy walk to sweet adeleine bakery - great latte and even better selection of sweet/savory pastries. the immediate area is "urban" residential. it's relatively close to freeway, temescal and Emeryville. apartment is small - but clean, nicely renovated and organized with essentials. grounds are well kept. a pretty fence encloses property, making it feel secluded and private. plenty of parking.
