Quirky layout but nice place

The layout of the apartment is like having two side by side areas, both with living rooms and bedrooms. They both feed back to the kitchen and bathroom. While quite comfortable, the heat was only on one side with made half the apartment too hot and the other too cold. Lots of room though. Nice big kitchen. Bathroom amenities were of low quality. Plenty of towels. Nice huge washing machine and dryer.

Cosy but insect problem

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's a nice sized, cosy space with enough beds for 3-4 people but it also has insect problem that the hosts need to look into. I left cereal out for a day and it was covered in ants, there were also spiders everywhere. Probably needs an exterminator visit before the next rental.

Emeryville stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very conveniently located for trips to and from SFO, San Jose and Davis. The place is not its heyday but was very adequate for our stay. It would be helpful to know the lockbox with the key is on the side of the house - not the one on the stairway railing.
