Amazing place! I mean, just crazy and incredible! First and most important - We got in late after a full day of driving, this was the biggest mistake! We wanted to just crash and go straight to bed when we got in and this is not a place you can just walk into and go straight to bed! It's like going in to an art museum, you have to allow yourself some time to walk around and observe! It was incredible, even after a few days in the space, we kept pointing out things to each other that seemed to appear out of nowhere, there's just so much to take in! So allow yourself time to really get in and appreciate the space before you have to do anything! The location - Okay, this was a major thing in the other reviews, so I'm just going to address it. I'm from Chicago area and spent plenty of time in good and bad parts a like. Even in a really great, rich north shore area around there, you have homeless people wandering and such, so I feel this does color my perspective. My partner grew up in SF area but moved away to the country in IL when he was young, and I feel like that colored his perspective as well. In the small town we live now we literally just got our first few panhandlers in the last few years. So for me, the city in general was a little bit shocking to see the homeless camps, if you will, all over the place. However, that said, I didn't see as many wandering, sketchy people as you do in Chicagoland, so that was nice. The area the airbnb in does feel on the edge, but to me, it wasn't that bad. It was what you get for any big city, cars with loud speakers and general city noise. You do have to know how to hold yourself and how to move throughout the city, so I would've (30's female) walked around by myself with no real issues. However, my partner was on pretty high alert. So I think how you feel about the area will be colored by your own perspective -- I think city people will feel like whatever, and rural people will be pretty scared. HOWEVER, that said, the actual building and parking is completely safe and secure. Inside the space, you feel safe. And to me, that's what really matters. Getting around - Another issue in other reviews, getting around. We took the bridge over to SF a few times and we took the BART to a game. The driving across the bridge was a bit of traffic, what you would expect again for busy cities. The BART was amazing. We drove and parked at the West Oakland stop since we were coming back late at night, and took the one stop to Embarcadero, which is pretty much access to either game or any of the downtown...
