Great Process and Outcome

The communication I had before coming to California was both prompt and comprehensive. His availability while we were at this property were exactly the same--he was available and answered my questions clearly.So ... both the process and outcome were excellent.

Feb. 13 - Feb. 22 2025

It was a central location for us to visit San Francisco, Moraga, Milpitas, Bodega Bay, Santa Rosa, El Cerrito, etc.The owners put a lot of care and thought in the quality of materials and design of the space used in remodeling it for a VRBO. Plenty of street parking, great binder of info/instructions.It is close to shops, grocery stores and restaurants.The owners had a wonderful, tasty apple dessert and shared the recipe. They also provided a lovely bottle of wine.Quick response to questions by email and text.We enjoyed our stay so much, we were able to book the place for another stay.If you are a senior with limited mobility, be aware there are stairs you'll need to climb to get to the VRBO unit.We highly recommend - quiet/ peaceful respite.

Great location great hosts

I rated this property good rather than great because it lacked light and while it advertised a view of the bay that was limited to a small window. However the hosts were gracious and helpful. The location was excellent and the property well equipped and maintained. The price was very fair.

Small and efficient spot in a great location

This place is small, space for no more than two people. The Hosts were communicating well and the space is well equipped for light cooking, but you are walking distance from the best restaurants in Berkeley.

Pleasant little studio

The studio apartment is very clean, comfortable and pretty well laid out. It's on a fairly busy street but we didn't notice an abundance of noise. I heard a garbage truck, but not really anything else. Two things to take note of: 1. If you want to do laundry, it's a combination washer and dryer. It doesn't have a lot of capacity and it takes quite a while to do a cycle2. There are several stairs from the street up to the apartment. If you have trouble with stairs, you may want to look elsewhere. Those things noted, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here next time I'm in the area.

Enjoyed ourselves, but we are seniors so the stairs were a bit much and a king size bed would be better. Overall, it was good and the goodies on arrival were great!

Perfect stay to visit daughter at Cal!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The view from the kitchen window is beautiful overlooking the bay. We even found a bottle of wine and homemade apple cake waiting for us. Cute and clean just as advertised. Minor suggestion would be to provide a lighter weight blanket for the bed. The down comforter in the closet is too heavy for fall nights. Highly recommend this charming place!
