I lived a block away from that apartment. Note 2 things - theres only 2 or 3 of those available in the entire city (and you have to compete for them), you will have a slumlord-style landlord who won't tolerate any noise or usually a single guest, your fixtures won't work, there will be stabbings and shootings within a block of you (not west/east oakland, but enough to have to be careful at night).
