Cheerful 2-Bedroom House in Berkeley

Fully equipped, nice place, no natural sunlight and the kitchen had an odd odor but otherwise a good stay

Location was perfect for us! The house is period with old wood floors and moldings etc but in good condition and you can experience a very well updated bathroom. The entire place was super clean and the kitchen well outfitted (wished we’d used it more!). The two bedrooms were well placed and quiet at night despite fronting a major auto thoroughfare. Only the living area was dim/dark due to lack of windows (a remodel to the front to make what is currently an unused retail space- I’d hazard same space also helps insulate against traffic sounds). Really felt lucky to get this rental for our 4 days in Berkeley since it’s close to our son’s apt building and conveniently walkable to Berkeley Bowl and various cafes and restaurants. We didn’t have a car rental so can’t comment on parking.

Responsive, caring host. Very clean with comfortable beds, good shower, full kitchen and laundry. Convenient grocery shopping. Easy access and parking. Very enjoyable stay.

Very helpful & responsive host.

Clean and roomy. Easy flow through home. Quiet inside. Can close off bedrooms for quiet time if someone watching tv in family room. Solid location for driving access to Oakland/SF. Easy drive to campus or walkable to campus ( 1 1/2 miles) if energetic. Host immediately responded to logistics questions. Was a huge help.

The host was awesome and house is clean and had all the necessary stuff for a family.

The house itself was very comfortable and well kept. It was not clear in the listing it was on a Main Street and the outside around the door there was a lot of clutter. Tea maker was great. Would have loved a coffee maker.

Place was cool. Thought the parking situation was gonna be a drag but there's plenty on the side streets. Bring ur own coffee tho.

Communication with the host was excellent. We knew we were arriving after midnight, and after letting the host know they gave us reassurance that entry would be easy- and it was. It was a great place to unwind after spending time with family in Berkeley and SF. Easy to walk to some great breakfast spots. Would definitely stay here again.

Very well kept and pleasant property and easy to find parking during the week. Thoroughly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay here, we brought our fur baby with us and having a backyard was a plus! Its nestled in a quiet cool neighborhood, easy parking on residential streets and quick access to a cute coffeeshop. The place was clean and homey and they even left us fresh flowers for us to enjoy. Great stay! Happy to recommend to others.

There was miscommunication at the beginning, but the owner provided what we need immediately. The owner responded message quickly. the house is clean and everything was prepared as online listing.

The location of this little home was well positioned to walk to the BART station, explore the little surrounding neighborhood (with some hidden gems for food), and a short drive to downtown and campus. It was a bit tricky to get into the property and the description of how to get in was a little confusing. The inside of the home was cute, clean, and comfortable (though one of the beds had a very firm mattress and the support was a bit rickety). I wish the outside had been a bit tidier and more user friendly because it has a nice courtyard, but a lot of forgotten stuff back there and weeds growing. Overall it was a very convenient, comfortable, and affordable place to stay while enjoying Berkeley!

The San Pablo house is on a busy industrial block and guests should be comfortable with added security measures. Home is clean with R/O in kitchen. Bathroom shower curtain rod needs attention.

A “go to” location and pied-a-terre in Berkeley!

A nice place that matched the listing details (except there is no on-property parking available), which was clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host regarding logistics around access due to a heavy storm the day before we arrived.

The property manager was friendly, promptly replied to all inquiries and was open to our needs. The home was clean with new kitchen, bath, flooring. The Roku and TV and WiFi worked well. I would stay here again and again.

The place is great and very well set up for a large group. The location is very convenient right by Charley Young beach in the heart of Kihei. The host is very welcoming and communicates well.

My parents visited over a he weekend. They enjoyed the house. Especially the bookshelf. Good selection!

When we arrived there were three locks to negotiate and one didn't work. We finally got in touch with the owner and he advised us how to break in. After that the property was fine and worked well for us. But property owner should simplify access.

Nice indoor environment. Out door neighborhood tolerable. Adjacent property going for a change in ownership which will up scale neighborhood which is needed. Very close within steps of a nice neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay here and would come back. Beds were comfortable and house was very equipped.

The house was immaculate, comfortable. Spacious enough for four. The only suggestion I w

House was great, very clean. Located on a busy street with lots of businesses like car repair shops. Took off a star because the driveway gate would not lock. Be advised that if you open the driveway window in the bedroom furthest away from the street that an alarm may go off.

We needed a space close to Berkeley, in a reasonable price range, where we would have room for my daughter’s things for move-in at college. While it met this need, we chose to find alternative accommodations for sleeping for the second two nights of our stay. The “house” is actually behind a closed store front giving the house an odd and disjointed floor plan. The description of the listing as “cheerful” was not met. Additionally, on either side of the house are abandoned buildings. If you are not looking to spend a lot of time at the property or have a low need for a pleasant aesthetic, this would work for you, but my family didn’t feel safe or comfortable.

This property was perfect for 3 of us. It was in a safe area with plenty of food close by. It was a good base for our trip that included San Francisco, Oakland, and Monterey. The back yard was a nice area to go sit in the evenings and enjoy the weather.

Property worked well for our needs. A bit of difficulty gerting though gate to get to door but got it done! Woukd stay there again.
