Relaxed and Spacious 2 BR Apartment with a Patio

It was nice, but until the creepy parts of different sounds and hearing gunshots.But overall it was good

Perfect

First floor apartment in a house slept four people comfortably. Stairs to entrance. Interior layout of rooms is quirky, as one might expect in a conversion. Heat varied widely from room to room and we could not figure out how to adjust it. Nearest BART station is MacArthur, 1/2 mile walk. Street parking was not hard to find. Neighborhood is urban. Shops and restaurants are walkable. Owner very responsive. We were satisfied with our stay.

The apartment itself was clean, but that was about the only positive aspect of our stay. The surrounding neighborhood felt unsafe, especially at night. When we arrived late to check in, there was a memorial with many used candles set up right in front of the apartment, which was unsettling. Nearby buildings showed graffiti and vandalism, adding to the concern. There is no designated parking for the unit, so we had to park across the street. Fortunately, our car was not damaged, but we felt anxious the entire time. On the positive side, the host was kind and communicated well. However, several basic amenities were lacking. The TV remote did not work, and even simple items like kitchen towels were not provided. The location is close to Berkeley, which is convenient, but due to safety concerns, especially at night, I did not feel comfortable staying here. Traveling with women and children, I would not recommend this property.
