About this property

A Spacious Home with a Great View of San Francisco Bay and Mt Tamalpais

Enjoy a California sunset on the deck and watch its amber against Mount Tamalpais, or relax in the private front yard or barbecue in a quiet upscale neighborhood. Fully furnished spacious home. Ideal for a large family of up to six. Here are a few of its features and location:
A 3 BR 2 BA (2200 sq. ft./204 m sq.) home. Two rooms have queen bed and the third has California King bed. Close to BART (train to SF and Bay Area) (1 mi), Berkeley (8 mi), San Francisco (18 mi), and Napa (30 mi). Spacious, clean and family friendly. Close to great restaurants and family-friendly activities including free access to multiple tennis courts. My place is great for couples, and families (with kids). Close to Wild Cat Canyon Park (1mi) and Tilden Park (1 1/2 mi). Natural Grocery Store and Food Annex is just 3 miles away. A food super store (Safeway) is within a mile. This home has all the basic amenities you will need for cooking and wifi internet access. Plenty of hotel-standard linens and towels.

Very Happy With This VRBO

We would definitely stay here again. It was quiet, convenient and clean. Close to BART, the Berkeley campus and multiple hiking trails in a wonderful park. The hosts provided a lot of useful information and were very responsive.

Perfect for us!

It was everything we needed and more. The courtyard and deck gave us options to enjoy the sunshine and incredible views and the spacious and comfy configuration allowed us to both catch up and find time and space for occasional calls that required time away from the group. The hosts were quick to answer questions and provide details we missed.

What a view in a family ready house

The view is spectacular and the home has plenty of room for family gatherings. The kitchen is well appointed and worked perfectly for our thanksgiving dinner for our family of 8. The dining room sat our entire family perfectly. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood is upscale and quiet at night. The host was very responsive to any and all questions and concerns. The only drawbacks are the water pressure and the lack of much hot water in the showers. The showering was a challenge to say the least. If this issue is addressed we would return again and again.

Fantastic Condo/Home

The Condo was Beautiful with 2 gorgeous super comfortable living rooms, 3 bedrooms with windows that could open, 2 bathrooms and a wonderful spacious kitchen and 2 eating areas. We loved the super comfortable sofas and the large screen T.V. The Deck overlooked the Bay, Mt. Tam and San Francisco and the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge It was Stunning! There was a lovely patio with a grill in the front and the living room doors opened to it. We felt like we were in someone's beautiful home. El Cerrito was a beautiful and safe area with lovely homes everywhere.There were security cameras on the condo and house lights popped on as we entered the driveway. Fassil was a wonderful host who answered our questions immediately. We can't wait to return the next time we visit our daughter who is Veterinarian in Berkeley. This is truly a Home away from Home! Thank You! Thank You! for a Marvelous Stay!!

Family time

The views were great and we enjoyed this lovely home which accommodated all our needs. We were there for a family reunion and this home was located in between two family member's homes making it a great location betweem Albany and El Sobrante. We would definitely seek out this home again when visiting the bay area.

SFO gataway

Everything fine. Very clean. Quote neighborhood. Water pressure low as pretty much on top of the hills but a spectacular view from master bedroom and balcony. This rental is for the top floor of the building, there is someone living in the lower floor but as build on a hill you still have a yard to the front side and a spectacular balcony view from the backside (SFO skyline and golden gate bridge).

El Cerrito Stay

The house was great, a good location and wonderful location to all things the Bay area has to offer. The bedrooms were good size as were all the rooms. It was nice to be up in the hills and have great views of the Bay & city. Fassil was a wonderful host, he brought us a rolling pin as we wanted to make Xmas cookies and a CD player! We cooked a lot and the kitchen was very well equipped. The Grocery Outlet store had great prices and was nearby. We would definitely stay again - we loved San Francisco!

Flatlanders visit the hills.

Our family took a trip to visit the Bay Area, and we were very excited when we arrived at this home. The view off of the balcony at the rear of the house is beautiful. Our host was so helpful and gave us tips on how to get around while we were visiting. The home was well taken care of, and all the items needed for our stay were in place when we arrived. Check in was very simple, as was checking out when we had to start on our way back home. I would recommend this home, and host to anyone thinking about visiting San Francico

Bel soggiorno

Struttura carina, bagni da rivedere ( poca acqua dai rubinetti) camere vecchiotte ma comunque tutto molto pulito. La casa è ben collegata con la città attraverso la Bart che comunque dista circa 3 km. Nessun supermercato raggiungibile a piedi se non un piccolo market molto caro a circa 500 metri

Comfortable, large house with a great host

Fassil was a great, responsive host. We rented the upstairs portion of the house which we liked very much. It's quite scenic to overlook the bay. I'd definitely stay here again. One thing- we couldn't use more than one appliance in the kitchen at the same time as that would cause a circuit overload. Overall the house is maintained well.

Comfortable house with everything we needed for a long weekend in the Bay Area. The furniture and the beds were comfortable. We especially loved the deck, the cool evening breeze and the view from the dining room while we ate. The owner is very accomodating and responsive. We would stay there again.

Comfortable and Accommodating

This property was perfect for us - my spouse, adult son and my sister and her spouse. We were attending a wedding at a nearby country club and enjoying the region. The rooms had comfortable beds and linens. There were ample towels and washcloths. We generally just ate breakfast there and the kitchen was well-equipped. There was enough hot water for numerous showers (instant demand hot water heater).
