Great for students, quiet but central
I really like this apartment! The residence is quite old (it used to be a Victorian mansion, but it was converted into ~9 apartments), but it is fairly well maintained and updated. The kitchen is quite small, but a good enough size for students who prefer to cook at home instead of eating out a lot. The bedrooms are medium-to-large sized. The location is ideal, since it's close to the UC Berkeley campus, Downtown Berkeley, and the Bart station. Despite being on Durant Ave, it is quite quiet. If you're in the downstairs unit, you might hear sounds of the front door shutting and people coming in/out of the apartment building. However, the sounds aren't too loud. Management is very responsive. Packages are generally safe to be delivered to our apartment, but there have been a few instances of package theft. It's best to deliver your Amazon purchases to the Amazon lockers nearby. We had a history of a few homeless people sleeping on the front porch of our apartment, but after a few reports to the landlord, they were able to put a stop to this in a sensitive and respectful way to those unhoused.

It has a decent amount of space, however, the kitchen is small, and the apartment is dated and could use some new carpet and renovations.

Pretty good!
Very responsive landlord! Very convenient to school/Minor Hall, about 15 min walk. There is a $25 flat rate for water per tenant per month. Rent includes garbages. The only downside for this place is that it can be a bit older building. Due to that, heat does not retain very well. But it does not interfere with daily living and it has been really safe.

Pretty decent for an older apartment on the Southside
Very convenient location, and not too loud! It's close to both Minor Hall (15 min walk) and downtown Berkeley and the BART station. It's 5 minutes away from the RSF, and very close to a major bus stop. It's far enough away from the Stadium and frat row that you won't hear a lot of sounds at night, but at the beginning of the year you might still be able to hear students having fun of Thursday-Sat nights.
The apartment looks very old from the outside, but it's better on the inside. The apartment certainly is older, so don't expect the newest appliances (the stove is pretty old). My only major complaint is that the kitchen is REALLY small. However, my roommates and I have made it work.
