Helpfulness
Several AC Transit bus lines go to Albany, the two main ones are the 43, which runs up and down Solano Ave from Berkeley, and the 72/73, which runs the length of San Pablo Ave.
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.

Albany is really more of a neighborhood than a city. The town was built almost entirely between 1909 and 1930, so it's filled with stucco bungalows and tiny period-revival houses.
