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.

This is a good place to stay for more than 2 people. It was just two of us, but it worked well. It is on a very noisy street and in a bit of a run down area, but the property itself is relatively well maintained, although very old. Despite the slightly seedy location (some trashy, graffiti marked vacant buildings) the security is excellent. Ample kitchen is pretty well stocked with dishes, pots, cutlery etc. we had to purchase paper towels, paper napkins and facial tissue as it is not provided. Immediate location aside, it is very walkable to a park, University Avenue and some small restaurants. Bed was comfortable and bathroom adequate. The apartment is located above a (vacant) retail shop, and currently the entry is through the shop, although there is a back entrance as well. It was fine for our stay and walking distance to our family. Phan was very helpful when we had a bit of difficulty with one of the security doors.

Arriving at night did not do this place any favors. It's behind a gate that's too close to the door, making it difficult to enter. We entered through the front door, which brings you in to a former business office/storage room, which confused us for a minute. The house is up a half-flight of stairs in the back. The house itself was actually fine. Roomy, and recently remodeled, it has some strange layout issues, but it is an old building. The newly remodeled bathrooms were very nice, and it was great having an extra one downstairs. Location-wise, the house is well situated to everything in Berkeley, as well as the freeways and BART. It looks a little rundown, but was quiet and felt safe overall. The house is in a mixed commercial/residential area on a main road, but it backs up to neighborhoods, and the road was quiet at night, even on the weekend. Parking was always easy to find right around the corner on the residential street.
