Cozy Bungalow On The Emeryville Border

My husband and our two children stayed here for five days while we toured SanFrancisco and the Bay Area. Aside from predictable traffic, the location was awesome! We were close to downtown San Francisco without having to stay in the city. Parking here was never an issue. There was always an open spot on the street. Terri was very helpful and responded to all my emails/ texts within a few hours at most. The house was clean, comfy and had all the smaller items like hair dryer and iron. Lots of clean linens too. We used the kitchen every day for breakfast and lunch. It saved us quite a bit of money. Loved it here! I’d recommend it to a friend.

We were all very happy with the house. Everything works, it was very clean and the kitchen had nice appliances and all the gadgets, dishes and pans that we needed for our stay. The back yard is absolutely charming and we enjoyed one late afternoon just sitting outside in the shade admiring the bougainvillea. In particular I appreciated the bedding which included lots of pillows and blankets along with comforters. We had all the towels we needed. The day bed in the 2nd bedroom is just OK. You can hear the bed springs when you turn over....not a big deal.

The location is best for travelers with cars. We had no car and the walk to BART was a long one. Also, the neighborhood does not have amenities such as a nice grocery store and a coffee/espresso shop that you can easily walk to. Terri stopped in to make sure we were set and she made suggestions for dining. I would appreciate a binder with information and instructions but not every rental provides one. Terri pointed out the online info.

Overall, its a quality home to rent and we would stay there again if we had a car.

Our family enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house. There is little for visitors in the immediate area, but it is well-located for travel and activities in the Bay Area -- close to freeways going in all directions, including the Bay Bridge, as well as a convenient bus line that runs between Oakland and Berkeley.

My family stayed in Terri's bungalow over this past Thanksgiving. We cooked part of the Thanksgiving dinner in the well equipped kitchen, and found the accommodations in general to be comfortable, clean, and in good order. Terri was very responsive and accommodating to our questions as well. We would definitely come back to stay. I have also stayed in the smaller studio in the back of the property, and found it to be comfortable and thoughtfully equipped.

The house was comfortable and well appointed. We especially appreciated the couch/bed in the living room and are looking at buying one for ourselves. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was fully functional and the shower and bath were welcome as we aren't used to nor appreciative of the ambient humidity.

We only used the refrigerator and the microwave in the kitchen but the room looked fine. The water neither smelled nor tasted bad. We marveled at the "exotic" (to us) foliage in the back yard.

We didn't have any problems that needed expert help but Terri & Pam were always available by text or phone. BTW the TV and WiFi worked perfectly as per the complete instructions we were given.

If we were ever so unfortunate as to have to go to the Bay Area again we would definitely consider staying in Terri & Pam's house.
