Moving to the bay area in three weeks and we have questions!

Hello Reddit,

My girlfriend and I have been planning a move for the last few months, and it is finally getting to be that time! We will be staying temporarily in Berkeley with a friend while we find an apartment and I look for a new job. Based on a few different factors - girl's job location, and us just wanting to try the downtown style of living - we want to live in the city, but we don't really know the best options that combine safety, accessibility and a nearby park. We're looking for a one bedroom apartment. We know of Mission, which seems kind of like what we are after, but if you have other ideas, we are all ears.

If you have any questions for us, we're all ears!

Thanks, Reddit!
