The location was great. We felt the furniture could use an upgrade and better arrangement, and a few table lamps in the living area would be nice. The property was as pictured though and we enjoyed our stay :).

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.

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.

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.

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!

Very nice, convenient, and clean!

So many easy places to get to,

This place is exactly as advertised. Nice and clean place, responsive host, fantastic location. Thank you!

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.

All rooms were quite sunny and lots of windows to open for a sea breeze. Having good washer-dryer was convenient. I left after almost two weeks with mostly clean clothing. The price was also much better than the hotels I was staying in pre-COVID. The kitchen is large with everything one needs except a dishwasher which ended up being me. But that was okay. The large sunny dining nook is fabulous for eating and working. Having a Safeway two blocks away made my stay perfect. Chris is quite responsive if you need anything. For the price it is five stars. I'm just stingy on "5".

Well appointed, clean, good Rockridge location ......

We spent a comfortable stay in this conveniently located upstairs apartment in a great neighborhood. Great way to experience Oakland.

The property is much more spacious than I had anticipated. There were four of us - myself, my husband and 2 children 4 and under. The home was clean, the communication easy and the location perfect.

As we stayed with 5 persons directly after arriving in SF from Germany, we were happy to have so much space. The Location is Perfect and we were even able to go by car to SF - as we were there for a weekend. We found everything we needed. But the kitchen and bathroom should have been cleaner than it was. Particularly the pots for cooking, the microwave and the stove were „scruffy“. And also we thought it is maybe sometimes better to throw away some old food than leaving everything for the next „renter“. Perhaps some chairs for the outside place would be nice. All in all for our needs a good place to stay.

We found this property to be exactly as pictured. We found it to be very roomy for all of us. Beds were extremely comfortable. Liked also that it was supplied with staples like some condiments, sugar , spices , salt pepper etc . Also in bathroom had shampoos etc if needed. We did not need but was nice that it was there in case. It worked so well for our stay as we were moving our daughter into a new place. Was a great space to come back to and relax after days of packing and unpacking !! I would definitely stay here again.

great location, lack of air conditioning a big problem since it was july, otherwise great

We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this home. It was close to the main artery into San Francisco and also had many restaurants and grocery stores and ice cream and coffee shops within walking distance. Beds were comfy and the shower was great. We slept with the windows open and the air was cool and wonderful. Chris was helpful in answering questions and quickly responded. Thank you for letting us stay.
