Great location and our second extended stay at this home. It represents a good value, and we would select this home again in the future. It is an older home with a few quirks, but my wife and I find it comfortable and charming. Walk to the shops and restaurants on 4th St. or head off to the Monterrey market for the fresh veggies and fruit. Its location has proven to be great for our uses.

Host was awesome! The place is super cozy & beautiful. The driveway isn't suitable for parking and the bathroom is very small but overall I totally recommend it. If you're going to the UC Berkeley campus tour, it's perfect. You can walk to the local shops & restaurants, all the way to the university!

Great location with shopping nearby. Actually, the city is pretty easy to get around. Kitchen was amply stocked, plenty of linens and comfy beds. I would add that if you have difficutly with mobility the front of the house has a steep drive that might be difficult to manage. Loved our host-helpful and considerate.

We enjoyed this home a lot! Fully equipped with everything we needed. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. There was any service or amenity within walking distance. The only issue is we had was a very low profile car. The drive way was at a bit of an incline so we parked on the street. Next time we will rent something a little high off the ground. Over we would rent again.

Great location

The Vrbo is in a great location. It’s about 4 blocks from the North Berkeley BART station and is an easy walk to a coffee bar and bagel place on one side and a bakery on another side. The bed is comfortable, the water filter quite amazing, plenty of towels, a usable outdoor space and easy in and out.

It was a trip that was going to be difficult to accomplish, cleaning out my late brothers house nearby which will be an ongoing project. Very emotional.I mentioned to my husband and sister how nice it was to return every evening into a peaceful calm environment. I really enjoyed the old world charm mixed with newer touches. Very comfortable beds, enough space for three adults to roam around through. Everything worked well for us while there. Andreas runs a tight ship and if we had any questions, he would be right there.Thumbs up to the Cozy Berkeley Cottage!

Three adults visiting family in Berkeley and SF had a very comfortable, convenient one-week stay at this rental. The host was a great communicator. The location is a short walk to BART and many good restaurants. Nice neighborhood. We would happily return.
