It's not impossible, but nights can be really bad. You will also need to move several times a week (street cleaning), sometimes day (traffic lane).

I'm a block from there and I like it a lot. I'm pretty comfortable with the neighborhood and I used to live very close by before moving into my current place. I see a lot of people walking on Fell which is a good sign.

Parking can be challenging at night unless you leave early in the morning. Oak has street cleaning from 7am-9am, so it always has spaces open in the evening (and days too). I do the street parking shuffle and it isn't too bad. I like it because most of it is from noon to 2pm (except for Fell). I see parking spaces for rent on CL, but I always balk at the last moment.
