Beautiful neighborhood and we easily walked to local shops and cafes. Riding the BART and making our way to Fisherman’s Wharf went smoothly and we enjoyed a day in nearby Muir Woods. Our accommodations were terrific: spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, fantastic shower, nicely appointed kitchen and lovely decor! Hope to be back again soon!

What a delicious place to stay. Warm, easy host. The pictures don’t do it justice. Highlights for me lounging on the back porch swing, a deep sleep at night in the quiet neighborhood and oh… The shower!

Great stay!

We were in the Bay Area for a wedding in Berkeley. This VRBO was the perfect location for us. The unit has all the essentials--nice bed, nice coffee maker, nice shower, nice living room--but is also very artfully decorated. And Kensington is a beautiful area. We would stay here again!
