As nice as I've ever seen!

I've stayed in about a dozen Airbnb or VRBO rentals over the past few years and this is without a doubt my favorite of all. Located in a beautiful Berkeley neighborhood, the unit was large, clean and opened into a patio with paths leading to a very nice garden area on the lower part of the property. I highly recommend staying here!

Stayed there 4 nights. It definitely has a great view of the bay and SF! That was the highlight. It is not in a convenient location to restaurants and it sits up on a hill to where if you walk anywhere be ready to take a hike back up! We took an Uber to wherever we needed to go. For a reason I will not divulge, I simply could not give it a good cleanliness rating. It should have been taken care of if things were being cleaned well!!!

Splendid view!

Spacious and clean one bedroom apartment with spectacular view of San Francisco, tucked on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills, only a short walk to the university. The apartment opens onto a beautifully maintained three level garden. It was a perfect spot for visiting our family who is scattered across the East Bay. Although we had little need to contact our hosts, they were readily available. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay in Berkeley hills

Beautiful garden and apartment. Well equipped for a stay with laundry and kitchen facilities and a book library. Note that's quite a walk up a steep hill from Berkeley so you need to be fit or else have your own vehicle or use Uber. A great introduction for us to America. Susan is a friendly helpful host and the view to the city is stunning.

Week in Berkeley

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights to visit Berkeley and hit all our favorite spots from when we used to live in Berkeley. The accommodations provided a great spot for us to live in for the week. We were able to cook some simple meals and loved the view of the Bay Bridge. The location is awesome, far enough up the hill to have a view, quiet neighborhood with easy street parking, and walkable to the Rose Garden. We had a great stay!

Hubby and I were in town for over a month to visit with brand new grandson. Daughter's house is too small and the Berkeley Hills home was a nice retreat. Daughter ended up coming a few afternoons to relax and take a nap while I got to take care of our grandchild. Thanks for a nice stay.

Very comfortable, no problems parking on the street. The house had everything we needed. Would have loved to stay longer, but they are pretty busy! Be aware there are 30 steps down to the place if that is an issue for you. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely come back. Thanks Greg and Susie!

Berkeley Student Drop Off

Combined dropping our son at Berkeley with a short vacation. Location is close to campus, and up on a hill where you catch the breezes. Apartment is lovely. The stairs down are long, so if climbing stairs is an issue, consider that.
