okay, after reading the reviews, then staying at yoni’s place; i have to say that some people are a bit dramatic! or maybe they just don’t get out of their element often? either way, the neighborhood is actually super quiet with average income homes with lots of diversity (just like the bay area!) so i loved it! the house next door is boarded up, but there’s no squatters, the property is clean & i even smoked outside on the boarded up houses steps, late at night, & had NO issues! i felt safe the entire time i was there & never had the slightest ‘off feeling’; then again, i travel often & have seen real ‘ghetto’ lol
as for inside, the wifi is execellenr! the tv has netflix but no regular cable (or at least i didn’t really try to find cable?) the place is well stocked wit kitchen essentials, just bring your own toiletries! there is shower gel, but no toothpaste or things like that. killer water pressure! major plus. the beds are decent, the front bedroom being more comfortable (yes. i slept in both lol)
& holy wow is the train LOUD! i admit, i am a rather light sleeper, so that’s my own fault. it goes thru honking for at least 10-15secs throughout the day AND night, so be fair-warned! idk how i missed that note in previous reviews! anyway, yoni is super accommodating, responds quickly, & is more than willing to help! & his place is more than fairly priced for the location! thanks again, yoni!!
