We enjoyed the laidback feel of the neighborhood. The corner grocery was well stocked & there was a convenient coffee shops & several restaurants nearby. The neighborhood felt very safe. BART was a doable walk or a short cab ride. Our hosts were genial & available. Plenty of elbow room in the apartment. Dollar wise the space was a good value.
Note: there is no balcony & the mattresses need upgraded. Also, do not expect high end furnishings.
