Karen’s place was great. I stayed for 2 weeks while working at UC Berkeley and I plan to come back next time. The furniture was great, the kitchen was great (and had everything I needed to cook myself meals, including Tupperware, some spices, olive oil, etc.), the bed was really comfortable, and the bathroom was great. It’s a very attractive apartment and I was really comfortable there. The WiFi worked well for zoom calls and streaming. There was usually street parking right outside the apartment and Karen knew where to find it when there wasn’t. I never had to walk far to get to my car. Karen was great with communicating throughout my stay and was very helpful. As a young female, the area felt completely fine during the day and I was able to walk my dog at night but I stuck close to the apartment. I plan to come back in a couple months so the area wasn’t a significant problem, but definitely not somewhere I felt completely comfortable walking around alone at night. The apartment itself (and the apartment building area in general) felt perfectly safe and I was comfortable there.
