Berkeley, California
Welcome to Berkeley's Westbrae neighborhood! This comfortable duplex was built in the 20s, was recently renovated and is lushly landscaped with an enclosed back garden. BART is a 12-minute walk. UC is 10 minutes by bike (you can borrow mine), 5 minutes by car or take the direct bus that stops a block away. Coffee, bakery, wine store are 2 blocks away. Sushi, beer garden, Italian, BBQ and Whole Foods are 6 blocks away. Ample street parking in the immediate neighborhood is available with no permits required. (Currently 50% off $120 cleaning fee!)
To ensure your safety with regard to COVID-19, the duplex is thoroughly cleaned between guests by cleaners using Nitrile gloves and face masks. Afterwards, I personally go through with Clorox wipes and wipe down every door knob, other handles, light switches, plumbing fixtures and other surfaces commonly touched. Linens and towels are washed in hot water. Extra Clorox wipes are supplied.
My mom and visited the Bay Area for a short trip to visit family and we were so pleased with our stay in this sweet VRBO. Bob lives next door and greeted us when we arrived and on our departure. We knew that if anything came up during our stay that we needed assistance with he would be right there to help. The VRBO was spotless and I am very particular about cleanliness. We both felt right at home. Also, it is well-stocked with cooking supplies and most importantly, coffee :) We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We thoroughly enjoyed this house. It's lovely--the kitchen, especially, is great. Pristine appliances and lots of light. The house is on a quiet street, but seems close to everything. We could walk to the North Berkeley BART station (15 mins) and the 4th Street Shopping District (20 mins). There was always a parking space available right in front of the house. I really appreciated the neighborhood map with dining and shopping recommendations that the owner provided. We took many of his suggestions!
The house was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
Great location. In Berkeley for Law School Graduation. Will stay there again when we go and visit
This was just what we needed for our stay in the Bay Area. Walking distance to BART (0.7 miles), restaurants, bakery, coffee shops close by, safe and lovely neighborhood. It was very quiet, spotless, had comfortable beds, a great shower and owner was accommodating with a small group get together in the home. It had everything we needed and left very relaxed.
We could not have chosen a better space to ready for all of the events of a weekend to honor my dearest friend as we celebrated her Mom’s life. Robert’s place was welcoming and fully stocked for our needs. Best location in Berkeley. Walking distance to so many restaurants and stores while feeling completely immersed in the neighborhood vibe of this bedroom community. Highly recommend and will return.
My family was visiting friends in the area, and this was the perfect home base for a few days. The place was clean, and it had everything we needed--it was even stocked with coffee, cooking oil and spices, something we appreciate since one of the perks of most VRBOs is having a kitchen. Excellent restaurants and some fun parks within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!
This spot was perfect for our stay. Great location with a good variety of vendors in walking distance. We liked being able to have our granddaughters and family there for few evening meals during our ten-day stay.
Pleasant and convenient location. The duplex includes comfortable bed, nice towels, good basics in the kitchen. Great to have a dishwasher (insure clean dishes to new guests) and in apartment washer and dryer. Heating system runs efficiently (slightly noisy), train horn heard time to time Robert is a welcoming and discreet host. Top list to stay in this area.
Robert’s vrbo was perfect for us. The two bedrooms are completely separate; the kitchen is spacious & comfortable and comes with everything you need (coffee maker, pots& pans, etc.); the living room is comfortable & cozy; and there’s a wonderful little outside garden table. House was well cleaned and Robert was welcoming and easy to reach. Oh, and lots of great food options nearby. Highly recommend.
