great walking neighborhood
We stayed here to support our daughter who lives nearby and just had surgery. It is a great location in that it is only about a 10 minute walk away from College Avenue, restaurants, shops and large supermarket nearby. It is a safe neighborhood, people are out always walking their pets or pushing strollers. Lolo is lovely and attentive to anything I needed and was generous in providing the basics for us, always a relief after traveling a long distance to get here. I will gladly stay here again!

Lolo is an extra-special host!
We felt welcomed and reassured to have the lovely Lolo and her family upstairs from us, particularly as two women travelling alone together in unfamiliar environs. Lolo is warm, caring, and receptive to suggestions. Lolo cares a lot about making people feel comfortable, safe, and welcome. This said, if you have any suggestions to offer, please be as respectful and kind as is she! Check out the gorgeous bodhi tree in front!

Quiet, Clean, Updated Apartment in Great Location
Easy check-in/check out. This single, private entry apartment is on the ground floor with a separate living space upstairs. Super Rockridge location with plenty of street parking. Nice natural daylight interior lighting, with spacious, open kitchen and living area. Bedrooms and bathroom are roomy. Beds were very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. Once we arrived, we walked everywhere we wanted to go, e.g., College Ave shopping and restaurants, UCB, and Berkeley Repertory Theater. This place is a good find!

Great getaway location
This was a great place that we stayed at for a quick getaway. The location was perfect, close to lots of great places to eat and walking distance too. Lolo is great . She communicated with us really well and was very responsive. She she even left us a box of toys for our toddler which was very thoughtful. Would definitely stay here again.
