I would not recommend renting here, and here’s why:
Very disappointing experience living here. The apartment is much darker than promised — we stressed the need for sunlight during tours, but the unit barely gets any. Management refused to let us transfer, even though other tenants were allowed.
The courtyard is open during the day, which we were never told. Unhoused individuals often enter, make noise, and leave trash. At night, the building sits right above a BART ventilation shaft that produces a loud humming noise from 2:30–5:00 a.m., making... it impossible to sleep. Management admits the issue but says it’s not their responsibility.
With windows closed there’s no air, with windows open there’s noise. The AC doesn’t work properly, and maintenance is poor: broken gates slam loudly, the coffee machine is often out of service, and delivery drivers constantly get confused because there are no clear instructions.
Overall, what looked fine during the tours turned out to be a stressful and disappointing place to live.

Dear Resident,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met expectations. We understand how important natural light and comfort are, and we apologize for any miscommunication surrounding your move-in. The courtyard gate repair is already... scheduled for November 10, and the temporary BART ventilation work is required by BART but not expected to be ongoing.
Our team is always happy to discuss options that might better suit your needs and to help make your living experience as positive as possible. We truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.
Best Regards,
