Albany is within walking distance of the El Cerrito Plaza and North Berkeley BART stations, although Solano Avenue itself might be too far for some.
Driving here flat out sucks. The streets are extremely narrow, parking anywhere near Solano Ave is almost non-existant, and traffic on Solano Ave is sloooowwwww. Avoid bringing your car if possible.
WALK! This place is so tiny that, unless you can't walk far, you don't really need any other form of transportation. Not to mention the fact that driving and parking is a real pain in the ass. Those little fold-out scooters seem to be more popular in Albany than other places.
