  • We loved staying at Rockridge Bungalow! The place was clean, had great views of the sunset from the deck. It was perfect for our family of three, and super kid friendly thanks to the safety gate and sand box! The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the welcome breakfast treats! We used to live in the area, and it was great to be in such a wonderful neighborhood -- lots of great food! We have recommended it to friends and hope they have guests stay there in the future.

    Thanks for the nice comments John! We hope to hear from you again on future visits. Michelle

  Don and Sarah Cohen ,
  • We agree with all the positive comments and feel that of the 4 0r 5 places we have rented, this is the nicest due to location, cleanliness, decoration, thoughtful attention to details and information for visitors. We would rent again on another visit most definitely!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you so much Don and Sarah. We enjoyed having you stay with us. Thank you for leaving the bungalow in such good condition. Come back soon! Michelle

  • I can highly recommend the bungalow having just spent a very relaxing two weeks there. The location is very convenient for a whole variety of things whether for a stroll down College Ave or a jaunt into the City. The bungalow itself has plenty of space for a couple as well as being decorated and furnished to a high standard. We had several friends over for drinks on the deck and all were impressed with the layout. We will certainly think about staying there on our next trip over.

  • This is a very nice apartment in a very nice location. It is in walkable distance to the BART, Starbucks and variety of restaurants. I am very selective and must have clean linens, decent bathrooms and clean kitchen. I smiled as I walked through the apartment, I was charmed by the touches and the baked bread. I missed a drain board and microwave, but it is minor to the whole place. I walked home alone late at night and I was felt safe as I walked. That counts big with me. I give you 5 stars. Thank you, Suzanne
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks so much Suzanne! You are wonderful and I'll see you back in November. - Michelle

  Sandy ,
  • Michelle, We had a great week! The location is perfect and we loved the porch and backyard. If location is everything, this is the perfect place to be. Shops, restaurants, highway and BART are all close at hand. We loved it. Thanks for the wine. It was a welcome remindr that we were in California! Sandy, Washington DC
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Sandy - I am so glad you had a good time and thank you for the kind review. We'd love to have you back anytime. Thanks! Michelle.

  • Comment Text: Michelle, We want to thank you for your first-rate accommodations. The Bungalow was a perfect place to begin our move to the Bay Area. Your place is clean, classy and very comfortable. We enjoyed the patio, the view and the location worked out perfectly for us. Not only was it within walking distance of the shops and restaurants on College, it was easy to access downtown Oakland and all of Berkeley. We felt welcome and all our questions and needs were addressed promptly. I highly recommend your place as an excellent alternative to a hotel. Thanks again and we will definitely consider your place when we have company from out of town coming to visit.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Kari - you and Jon were wonderful and we enjoyed having you as our guests. Thanks so much and best of luck with your new home!

  • Michelle- We had a great time in Rockridge. The bungalow was a perfect fit for our small family. Thanks for the pastries and milk; it was a nice, welcoming touch. We really appreciated the use of your pack and play and high chair, as I'm sure you know, it's a pain to schlep those things around. The only things we missed was a microwave and a baby gate to block the stairs. I love the decorating, very homey and stylish, not the usual hodgepodge you see in vacation rentals. As far as VRBO, I use it a lot to find vacation rentals. I thought your ad was nice and had a lot of pictures (always a plus). I also really appreciated the prompt reply. Sometimes I never hear back from inquiries I've made, which makes it hard to nail down a reservation in a hurry. The only things I would add would be a link to your website and inclusion of the rental taxes, cleaning fee, deposit. A lot of times I think I've found a great rental for a good price, then I find out the cleaning fee is $150 and it's a deal breaker, so it's nice to know that info up front. Hope this was helpful, and thanks again for letting us rent your beautiful space. Thanks again, Kat
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks for the feedback Kat! We hope we hear from you again if you return to Rockridge.

  • I had the pleasure of staying in Michelle's rental for a couple of weeks while the rest of my family was in town for a vacation. Very clean, well appointed and bright. It was easy to take BART into the city and College Ave was a short walk away and full of great restaurants, bars and shops. I'll definitely consider staying here again next year.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    We enjoyed having you Dan. Come back soon!
