The location is very quiet. It's a bit of a hike to the nearest BART station, but the shopping on 24th is fun: lots of coffee shops, places to eat, and fun shops for the grandkids, not to mention a Whole Foods.
The apartment is small and the only 'hanging out' space is the backyard (nice!) or the kitchen (tiny). Plenty of hot water and the water pressure in the shower will knock your socks off. : )
