What a wonderful spot with the most charming hosts. Our kids live in Albany, nearby, so the location was just what we needed. It is also close to a number of charming Solano Street restaurants in Albany as well as many Berkeley favorites. The apartment is comfortable and beautifully decorated with a super view of the bay. Quiet and peaceful, it was perfect for the two of us. The neighborhood is very nice and a great place for a morning walk with the extra benefit of hills and some relatively flat areas. We were there over two weeks and will undoubtedly make plans to stay again.
Owner response:Dear Guests- My wife and I are delighted that you were pleased with your accommodations. We look forward to your return in a near future. Kirk

MY WIFE AND I STAYED 4 NIGHTS AT THIS LOVELY APT FOR OUR FIRST VISIT TO BERKELEY CA. THE APT WAS PERFECT AND HAD EVERYTHING YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE IN YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME. THE LOCATION WAS GREAT VERY CLOSE TO SHOPPING ,RESTAURANTS, FOOD STORES, AND THE BART TO SAN FRAN.. THE OWNER KIRK WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. THERE WAS A BOTTLE OF WINE AND PASTRIES ON THE TABLE WHEN WE ARRIVED WHAT A NICE TOUCH !!! THANK YOU
Owner response:Harvey- It was a pleasure meeting you your wife. Also thank you for the constructive comments from both of you just before you left. one request has already been taken care of. The enclosure for washer and dryer is being planned also.

My business partner and I had the good fortune to stay at this lovely apartment for 3 days. We were in town for work, which had us busy all day and it was such a delight to go back to this tranquil place, as it was not a box-like, sterile hotel environment but more like a vacation retreat outfitted with luxuriously comfortable amenities. The wireless was excellent and the HD flat screen television had all the major channels. The location was convenient to the "gourmet ghetto" with great shops and interesting eating establishments. The owners are very gracious but not interruptive. I would say that the apartment with one master bedroom is more conducive to a couple or a couple with children/teenagers versus 2 professionals since one of us had to sleep either on the air mattress or on the sofa bed in the living room. But we much preferred this wonderful place than a hotel.

This rental apartment has EVERYTHING you could possibly want or need in a rental. It is immaculately clean, quiet and comfortable. It's a first-class apartment in all ways. The hosts are available if you need them, but your privacy is complete. We highly recommend this lovely place for a year-round vacation in the beautiful hills of Berkeley, and just a short ride to San Francisco.

Elegant apartment in a beautiful, quiet and very green neighborhood of North Berkeley, with a view of the San Francisco bay and Golden Gate bridge. With luck, you can watch deer cross the street, and hear a rooster crow (not until 10:30 a.m., fortunately). Solano Ave with its nice shops (La Farine bakery; Pegasus books!) and restaurants (Rivoli) is within 15 minutes' walking distance, the Berkeley "gourmet ghetto" on Shattuck Ave can be reached in a 10-minute drive, the freeway (I-80/580) is a (leisurely) 15-minute drive. (Moreover, there is Lalime's on Gilman St: fantastic French-Mediterranean cuisine at decent prices, just a 10-minute drive away!) The apartment is squeaky clean and well-kept, fully equipped and has all amenities necessary for even a longer stay (in our case, a whole month). Certainly worth its money, especially compared to hotels in the Bay area. The hosts are charming and generous (on entering the apartment, we found on the table cheese and wine and lots of pastries for breakfast next morning!), extremely helpful and cooperative (we arrived at 8 p.m. - no problem!), at the same time respecting their guests' privacy. We really felt relaxed and comfortable throughout our stay and will certainly come back at some time! (It's been my 20th visit to the Berkeley/Oakland area since 1979 and this is certainly one of the top two places on my personal list of private accommodations)

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The place is recently remodeled, and extremely clean. It is located in the hills of Berkeley, in the best neighborhood across the street from a park. We had 2 adults and 2 teenage girls, and this apartment worked fine for us. There is room for a queen size air mattress in the bonus room..or there is also a sofa bed available. There is also an extra half bath in the bonus room that was very convenient. The patio is very big, and private. We BBQ'd a couple nights during our stay.. enjoyed the patio very much. This place is definetly worth the price. UC Berkeley is a 5 min. drive.. San Francisco is a quick 15-20 min trip across the bridge, and Sonoma/Napa is about a 35-40 min drive. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Berkeley area

We stayed in this lovely apartment for 4 nights. The place is well represented in the photos and is very comfortable. Kirk and Jaleh are kind hosts. They treated us on the first morning with some nice pastries, french bread, and delicious cheese. We were also welcomed with a bottle of wine. The place is immaculately clean. We were faced with unexpected challenges while there. It rained more than it had in 100 years, and we both had terrible coughs. It was a very nice place to stay given all of this, and we hope to return another time when we feel good and take more advantage of the beautiful neighborhood. I would happily recommend the apartment to friends.

My husband and I stayed at this property and it was more than we had expected. The listing description and photos were accurate but how can you describe the views and the exceptional host and hostess? The hosts gave us maps, books and so much information that made our stay so much fun. We could walk to parks, shopping and restaurants and the walks were beautiful through the best neighborhood in Berkeley. The property is so well maintained and clean, clean, clean. There was nothing that we lacked. Robes were provided and a delightful bottle of wine was waiting for us. I hestitated to write the review because I want to go back again and again and fear this great property will not be available. We have visited Berkeley many times and after this stay I refuse to stay anywhere else. This is a gem of a property!!!!!
Owner response:Dear Cathie and Jim- My wife and I really enjoyed meeting you and hosting you. Your comments are very gracious and you were the friendliest couple we have had here. Also We could not stop laughing because you were worried that the apartment may not be available when you want to pay a second visit to us! We will do all we can to accommodate you. We feel we have two great friends now. Kirk and Jaleh

My family and I stayed with Kirk and Jaleh in March 2011. This apartment is lovely! It appears to be brand new, and decorated with great attention to detail. They spared no expense in creating a wonderful space. There is a terrific view of San Francisco Bay from the apartment and balcony and its location in the hills is convenient to everything. In addition, they are wonderful, thoughtful hosts who frequently check to make sure you have everything you need. We look forward to staying with them every year when we visit our son at UC-Berkeley (which is approximatley 10 minutes away).
Owner response:Thank you for the gracious comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed the apartment and my wife and I look forward to visiting with you and hosting you again.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautifully appointed home: immaculately maintained, luxuriously furnished and outfitted with everything you could possibly need for a visit. The location in the Berkeley hills has a great view from the deck -- of the Bay and the city. It is close to a nice park and to innumerable hikes and sight seeing opportunities. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful to us. We hope to return another time!
