Charming, comfortable, well-equipped, great location.

Three adults visiting family in Berkeley and SF had a very comfortable, convenient one-week stay at this rental. The host was a great communicator. The location is a short walk to BART and many good restaurants. Nice neighborhood. We would happily return.

nice neighborhood, manager

Not maintained. The place has construction scaffolding, unkempt yard, unsightly overgrowth, paint peeling everywhere. So much junk on drainboards there's hardly room to cook. Extremely dangerous driveway. We didn't invite family members over. Pretty bad.

It was fine and met our needs

Andreas' house was fine for our needs. The location was excellent and why we picked that house. It fit our needs. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked.On unexpected issue was that the water pressure in the kitchen sink was so low that any dish cleaning was challenging. We alerted Andreas and hopefully that will get fixed.

Shabby Craftsman Cottage

Everything was there as listed in the description; for example a dishwasher that sits on the counter and must be manually filled, but the place is right out of the 1950’s. And cold. Portable heaters located in the living room and hallway but no heating vents in the bedrooms or bathroom. If the price was reduced by 1/3, it would be okay but as offered, it’s no bargain.

Great Stay

The house was very clean and neat; the beds were comfortable. Andreas was responsive to our questions and even allowed us to check in early. The neighborhood seems safe and everything we wanted to do was about a 30 minute walk. I would recommend staying at this home. The only things I would say to prospective guests are: 1) if you are sensitive to scents, the owner had a scented plug in device which I reacted to (I forgot to ask him about scented products in the house). We just unplugged it during our stay and the scent lessened as the days went on; and 2) if you want coffee or tea in the morning, make sure you pick some up with whatever you like in it (cream, sugar etc.) Those are not provided. There is an excellent coffee maker in the house.

Somewhat diappointing

House was organized badly. Dining room area has useless couch instead of table. House needs deep cleaning. Backyard needs much help. Inadequate supplies. No trash bags. No laundry detergent. Water from kitchen faucet very slow. Smell from heater. Bedroom needs nightstand. Positive. Beds comfortable. Shower good.

Comfortable, great location, good communication with host. If guests are looking for a place to have breakfast or lunch, we highly recommend Leila’s Cafe, just a five minute walk.

Clean, comfortable and convenient

My old college roommates and I were looking for a place that was more comfortable than a hotel but close to public transportation such as the Bart and Bus lines. This place was it. Our host was friendly and responsive in our communication. It has everything we needed such as plates and utensils for our takeout and clean fridge for our fruit and milk. The location is ideal as we were close to a lot of cades, bakeries, restaurants and even Target.We hope to book this place again when we are in Berkeley. I highly recommend.

Charming vintage house in Berkeley

A step back in time to a stay in an older home in Berkeley. It is just a few blocks from where we lived in the 1970's when we were students at CAL and we felt very at home. Beds are very comfortable, the small kitchen very workable and well equipped (we use it for breakfasts and dinners). Would definitely stay here again.

Fine for a quick visit with grandson at Cal

House was well-suited for our party of 3, with a separate bedroom for our high school aged grandson. Coffee shops on nearby San Pablo were convenient. The house obviously needs many improvements but it's fine for a short stay. And the neighborhood is very quiet. Don't park on the street under the neighbor's tree to avoid a heavy dusting of very sticky sap.

Quaint

The home is really charming, vintage and simple. Photos depict the space accurately. When the backyard gets done, it will be nice to really enjoy. I hope to stay next time I'm in town as it was a perfect location to get to the university, marina, transit and amenities. Parking on street was no problem. Thank you, Andreas, for sharing the home.
