The rental was wonderful-just what I wanted for my time in Berkeley/Oakland. Property manager is extremely easy to work with.

Pros: located within close walking distance of shops, restaurants, cafes and public transportation, responsive host, spacious, easy street parking. Cons: sparsely furnished (no floor lamps, only one bedside table), a few minor things were broken, very noisy traffic sounds from street, hardwood floors so lots of noises from the downstairs neighbours well into the night. If you are a light sleeper, be warned despite what the host may say.

My sister and I stayed at this property for three weeks. The size of our second floor space was excellent and the host was very responsive. We had no problems with our stay of any kind and parked at a nearby street in this nice neighborhood. I wish there had been more lighting in the front two rooms and perhaps a few more comfortable chairs in those rooms as well.

Chris' property was just what we needed for our visit to family in the area. A great location, a comfy apartment and easy to communicate with him. Plenty of life's necessities were on hand to make our stay comfortable. Plenty of shops, restaurants and cafés nearby as well.

The duplex is located on Claremont, which is a four lane busy and noisy road. The first two rooms have a couch and one tv. There are no lamps, just overhead lighting. The two bedrooms are spacious. The owner asked if we wanted parking for $9/day. This consisted of having to move my car four times (in and out of the driveway) in three days and receiving a text at 4:00 am asking me to move it so the downstairs tenant could park her bicycle. There was a side entrance so I wasn’t sure why couldn’t enter there. The door to the upstairs apartment did not close. We were asked to wear slippers so not to disturb renters below. Maybe consider area rugs in the living room areas to help with the squeaks in the floors. Probably wouldn’t rent again. Lots of choices in this area.

This Rockridge apartment is large, very comfortable beds, nice kitchen (no dishwasher). Somewhat sparsely furnished with a couch in each room, and two small chairs with one of them, nice kitchen nook and small outdoor deck. In a great area a short walk to a Safeway, coffee shops, good restaurants. An easy exit from the highway. On a major street which in November was quiet, but our windows were shut given the season. Landlord is very responsive. I'd suggest adding the parking in the driveway to your stay (not sure why it isn't included) but it is a narrow driveway. Definitely recommended this listing.

We only stayed one night but the property was clean and spacious in a safe area of Rockridge. Easy to park and lots of extra towels and blankets.

Property and location depicted correctly. Owner very responsive. Convenient access to Bart, community shopping, and Berkeley campus.

Was a wonderful home for a weekend getaway lots of character and charm to make you feel real homey

Very pleasant stay, excellent location and great amenities too. Thx

Clean, good stay

Spacious two bedroom apartment. We stayed her for a few days while our floor was being done and found the place clean and comfortable. The only flaw is that it gets quite hot in the late afternoon but other than that a great place to stay.

Chris made the whole process streamlined from start to finish. The place was exactly what and where we needed to be. Great recommendations for local foodie adventuring. Easy access to everything we needed close at hand. Accessible to BART and freeways for more extended adventuring. Clean, well lit, thoughtfully furnished.

We had a great time here. If you like the Berkeley and Rockridge areas of Oakland (and you should), it's awesome. You can walk to everything you will need or want. You don't need a car, but if you have one, make sure to nail down the parking situation. There is no air conditioning. We were there in March and had mildly warm days that turned into super-hot temps in the upstairs unit. There are fans that help. This would be tough in the summer if you don't like heat. We'd rent here again. Chris is super responsive and easy to work with.

Nice stay-thank you

Was a great time back to my old neighborhood 😊

The place was clean with plenty of natural light. The location was great and we enjoyed it well. We recommend that the owner add a couple of rugs, some more chairs and lamps as well as some more glasses. It was not a big deal to us but the living areas were pretty sparse. Overall our stay in the unit was very enjoyable.

I loved the location of the rental. Super convenient to shops, restaurants, and a super cute walking street. Everything we needed was there, fully equipped kitchen, extra towels, everything

This is a charming 2nd floor apartment in the quaint Rockridge neighborhood. Comfortable beds, spacious bedrooms, and a well appointed kitchen. Plenty of space for our family of four as we did college tours in the area. Parking not an issue as long as you are not parked on the street for more than 2 hours between 8-6pm. Easily walkable to cute coffee shops, several restaurants, and Trader Joes. Host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Communication was excellent with Chris, as was his little idea way upstairs. We had tenants underneath us and make their acquaintance within days of moving in for our stay. House was great and spacious. Will definitely be back again for our next round of work in the area.
