Our small family had a memorable 3-day Bay Area trip staying in Susan's place! Pretty much exactly as described, a clean, nicely furnished apartment with all the essentials. The freeway is very close, so you'll always hear it, but it's also very convenient to get around the Bay Area. Having a parking spot was lovely, although it's a bit of a tight parking area. The outside is a little run-down looking, that's just the building, nothing to do with Susan. We did wake up early to a man yelling for help from somewhere close by until emergency services arrived. Probably not a frequent occurrence, but it's in an apartment complex so sometimes stuff happens.
Overall, the location is convenient to getting around but not the nicest neighborhood in the area. The apartment itself is lovely, it's clean, it's convenient, and getting in and out was super easy. Susan gave us all the info we needed.
