I stayed here for two and a half months after relocating from London.
The location is amazing. Lovely street. No homeless in the street. Really close to coffee shops, supermarket, gym, restaurants and bars, the muni metro and the BART. I loved it around here so much I just got a permanent place nearby.
Regarding noise, if you stay in a house converted to apartments, you are going to hear through the walls and floors. No escaping it. I am a very light sleeper and had no problems with noise from other apartments. I had earplugs just in case which I only used if the birds were singing early and I had the window open.
The kitchen is well stocked with lots of equipment. There was tons of fresh thick towels too.
Check in was super easy and got lots of local tips. If you stay here, make sure you visit corona heights nearby for some great views.
