Here is one of our previous guest's review:

I had a wonderful experience during the couple of months I spent in Ellen's cottage. Let me tell you why:
First, the cottage is nicely arranged and composed; fully equipped and with a very comfortable bed!
Then, the neighborhood is peaceful and the proximity to campus without being in the crowd, plus public transports and stores is enjoyable.
Finally, not only Ellen has a great experience of life and sense of humor to share but she can also speak many languages and will be delighted to help you.

Nice little studio

Good apartment in a good neighborhood, expensive of course, but neat, well-maintained houses. Studio is very clean and cheerful. The bed takes a little getting used to, since it's a Murphy bed, so you're oriented sideways. The only real complaint would be the lukewarm shower. Otherwise, very nice.

Cold cold cold

Overall, this rental is in a pretty neighborhood at a wonderful location near BART, a Safeway and lots of coffee shops and restaurants. However, hot water, heat, nice pillows, a functioning toilet and doors that lock are pretty essential items. None of those things were present during my stay. In fact, one night it was so cold that I checked into a hotel so I could take a shower and get a good night's sleep. I hope that the owner is able to do some repairs and upgrades. Otherwise, I would not stay there again and would recommend that others "pass" on this place.

Monteiro stay

We loved the property. Beautiful and peaceful. Great place for short stay like a weekend or couple of days. However we were there in two weeks! The bed is not what I expected. My husband and I are tall and the Murphy bed is short. Overall our stay was good.

Super cute place, host went above and beyond

I booked this place for my parents and it was perfect. The place was super cute (as advertised), the coffee was great. They really enjoyed the little outside seating area for reading and/or snoozing. Both the host and the owner went above and beyond helping my mom locate her lost purse, which was a huge help and greatly appreciated. My parents report that they would love to come back.

Great place for a getaway weekend in Berkeley area!

Great location enabled us to get to Berkeley quickly and easily. Smaller unit worked well given we were out and about for most of our weekend. Side entrance made it easy-in, easy-out as well. Would stay here again.
