Richard’s place is super accurate to the photos. It’s a cute and well kept one bedroom one bathroom apartment. It was already super well equipped with pots , pans, dishes, trash bags, etc. and it was super easy to fall into a rhythm here. I loved the high quality amenities like the in unit washer/dryer and the TV. The couch is also super comfortable, a lot of people that I had throughout the day to come and visit adored the couch. The apartment is so lovely and would definitely stay here again.
The area this airbnb is in can get a little shady at times. If you go towards sixth street it can get a little sketch but on the fifth street side it’s a little better. I definitely would recommend if you are a woman living alone in this apartment to be careful here or carry around pepper spray and things. I had friends walk me home at night which was enough. Regardless of the locational issues, it’s a great location easily located near convenient bus stops, BART stations, and general interesting locations.
As for the apartment complex itself, the building is fine. There’s lots of dogs which is nice! But also sometimes the dogs pee in the hallways and it gets a little stinky.
Overall highly recommend Richards place! Had a great stay.
