  • This vacation rental is beautifully decorated with every modern convenience. It has a full size refrigerator/freezer, gas oven/stove plus all of the utensils, pots/pans/baking pans that you need to prepare a gourmet meal, plus plates, serving dishes and wine glasses to serve it elegantly. This vacation rental even has the convenience of high-speed internet, which can be very important if you need to stay in touch with clients. It is so wonderfully quiet in Berkeley Hills -- truly peaceful and yet close to the action in Berkeley. Kirk and Jaleh are warm and wonderful hosts -- we truly enjoyed their company and they made us feel so welcome. One of our favorite activities in the evening was drinking a glass of California wine and watching the sun set from the balcony. We can't wait to return next year!

  • This was a wonderful stay. Not really an apartment..more like a home. We have 2 teenage boys who enjoyed the living room and pullout coach. The bedroom was so comfortable. Everything we needed was available. Wonderful hosts and wonderful stay..we will be back! Thank You from the Barr Family

  • My partner and I stayed for one month with our two children (6 months and 9 years old) in Aug.-Sep. Staying here was a charming experience. Kirk and his wife Jaleh have been extremely kind and warm hosts. They were very helpful, always giving good advices (about food, shopping, sightseeing...) and making sure our sejourn was perfect. It was like staying in our family, although the privacy of the flat is complete (it is well separated from the rest of the house). The flat is arranged with extreme care, everything being new and beautiful, almost a luxury. The kitchen is very convenient (all the ustensils we needed were there). Having two children, the washing machine and the dryer (in a separated room attached to the flat so that you do not hear the noise) were specially useful. There is a large convenient dressing room (with linen, enough space to put luggage or clothes...) and several cupboards, so we could quickly put everything in order and feel like at home. We put the baby in a mini-crib in our bedroom, and our daughter slept on the convertible bed in the living room. There is a phone, and a fast internet (on a wire) with a desk which is convenient to work. In our opinion, this is an excellent place both for short term and mid term stays. We came to work at MSRI (Maths Research Institute, on the hill above the University), the location of the flat was very convenient (10 minutes drive), and it is also very convenient (same time) to go to the city center or to the University campus. The area of the flat is very nice (with a beautiful view on the San Francisco bay from the balcony and from the window, which is oriented to the west, and so particularly pleasant the evenings), and there is a garden nearby. There is much space to park the car (freely) in front of the house. In addition, there are excellent shops in the neighborhood, the restaurants of the gourmet ghetto are at five minutes drive, and there are excellent organic vegetables or good fish shops at the same distance. This is one of the most delightful experiences we ever had, both due to the place and to Kirk and Jaleh, and we recommend this renting in the highest terms.

  • My boyfriend and I stayed here for 9 nights in June 2009, and had a fantastic time! Kirk and his wife are very gracious, friendly, and welcoming hosts, and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. It is a very spacious and sunny unit, and everything feels clean and new. The appliances in the kitchen are all new and great to cook with. There's a huge spice rack, with everything from dried basil to paprika. The bathroom is large and there is nice pressure in the shower. The bed in the bedroom is very luxurious, with nice sheets and lots of beautiful pillows. I particularly liked the walk-in closet and the standing dresser, because there was tons of room to store our clothes. There is also a fax machine, a phone, and fast internet, so you'll be set to communicate with the outside world. There's a washer, dryer, and iron, too. Perhaps best of all, the views out of the windows in the bedroom and the living room are absolutely STUNNING - you can see the San Francisco Bay and watch the sun set through the trees. The photos of the view on this site don't do it justice - you have to see it in person to believe it! We loved it here, so hopefully you will too! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
