    Overall, we’ve had a good experience. The maintenance service is good, and the location is very convenient for access to BART. However, it can be very noisy on weekend nights. Last weekend, my family couldn’t sleep well because people were talking loudly, playing music, and arguing outside until midnight or even later. I hope the management can help address the nighttime noise issue
