Sunny Spacious House in Vibrant Berkeley/Oakland Rockridge

Spacious, clean, uncluttered upper unit. Everything (stove, shower, microwave, etc.) was simple to operate and worked well. Near BART, Rockridge, and a short bus to Cal campus. One hiccup in our four days. I texted Chris and he called immediately and walked me through steps to resolution. A plus.

Host was excellent. Great communication.

Chris was very responsive to any questions I had. It’s a great location close to Cal. and numerous other stores/shops and restaurants.

The property used exactly is described and it's close to a lot of nice stuff in the Berkeley Oakland area. The host is very responsive and a great communicator.

Everything was Fantastic. It was extremely clean and spacious. we loved having a wsher/dryer. The neighborood is very safe and has a lot to offer interms of food, retail shopping. place is amazing! Fantastic !

Great location. Felt very safe. Walkable. Our host was easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Some upgrades needed - new towels, PILLOWS and more than 4 glasses. Appreciated all of the framed memos around the house. We obviously don't take a vacation to watch TV - but an explanation of how to make the darn thing work would be great. Would we stay again. Sure, but we would bring our own pillows, towels and glassware.

Seamless Check in process and check out. Chris kept in touch and responded quickly when i messaged. Very sunny and spacious in a very nice location - easy walk to some great places to eat. The apartment was immaculate and had all the necessary basics.

Solid apartment with a fantastic location.The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. Host was responsive and kind.I’m hoping this can be our go to Vrbo whenever we visit Oakland.

My son and I loved staying at the Rockridge home, and really felt part of the neighborhood. The home is spacious, we loved being able to spread out. It has nice wood floors and multiple living spaces, comfortable beds, and a full size kitchen with everything we needed. I liked being able to look out west to the hillsides from the kitchen and my bedroom. The shower was strong and warm. Sunshine filled every room. While Claremont is busier during the day, it was quiet after 9 pm at night when the neighborhood went to sleep. Lots of free and easy street parking right out front. And walkable to grocery and coffee shops, with bonus of being just 5 minutes down the road from the Panoramic trailhead for our morning hikes. The owner Chris is kind and friendly and we highly recommend his home to future guests.

The property was as depicted in the photos. It was an excellent place for our adult daughter living in the area to join us. Our pooch, Rocco, was thrilled to be able to join us too!Quick walk to Safeway, coffee shops and restaurants. Short drive to the many museums and parks. Chris was responsive and welcomed suggestions. We would happily stay here again!

We stayed only one night of four night reservation. The house is depressing and feels uncared for. This is the worst VRBO booking we have ever had. The manager Chris was dismissive of our complaints and responded defensively. The property is described as The house is tastefully decorated with new furniture and linen. and the that the barthroom has been remodeled to cater to guests needs. Here is what we found. When we arrived the first thing we noticed is the lack of furniture in the main living room - there is a couch and two side chairs off in the corners- no coffee table and no carpet or area rug. It feels empty and unwelcoming. The central room is also almost empty of furniture - a couch against one wall, a coffee table and a wall table on the opposite wall. The bedrrom was dissapointing. The towels on the bed were frayed and the carpet was stained and dirty. The bathroom vanity was damaged and peeling on one side. The door to the bathroom felt like it would fall off in your hand. The linens and towels seem cheap and of low quality. The walls are dirty and the paint is peeling or damaged in many places. There are nail and hammer holes in some of the walls. There is very little in the way of decorations and what is there is haphazard. There is a picture on the wall in the kitchen with a damaged frame. Overall the place feels uncared for and neglected. Needless to say we would not stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay here, and since our main purpose was to visit our son and attend the Big Game, we also appreciated being right next to the bus stop where we could hop on for a short ride up College to Memorial stadium. Also nice to be really close to all of the great restaurants on College. Chris was a great communicator and we had no problems with anything during our stay

We really enjoyed this apartment and found it filled our needs in almost every way. The location was outstanding (near freeways, near great north Oakland/Berkeley neighborhoods). The bedrooms and fold out bed – including the door and privacy curtains in the living room - made for 3 nicely functional bedrooms. The kitchen, laundry room, breakfast nook: all great. Only critique: reading lamps! This made the fold out bedroom especially awkward (thankfully I had my headlamp for reading in bed). But there should be some lamps around both sofas and easy chairs. Otherwise, really great!!

We enjoyed our stay! The location is great - there are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and stores within easy walking distance. Free street parking can be found nearby but keep in mind the occasional street cleaning day. The neighborhood was also nice to walk around during the day. The building was great and the accommodation comfortable. If you have the windows open expect some street noise which you'd expect from the area.
