Lots of privacy!

The location was perfect. Not to far off the freeway but far enough to feel safe and secluded. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet. This is an older property. While beautiful and serene it could use some updates. You will have a walk to your vehicle and parking is on a narrow street which is not stated in the listing. The only heat is portable heaters which take a while to warm the space but eventually it gets the job done. Water pressure was a plus and the unit has a nice amount of space. The owners were very friendly, attentive, but also allow for personal space. This was my first VRBO rental and I quickly learned that if the unit doesn't advertise a designated parking space or heating then the landlord isn't required to provide those amenities. A hard lesson to learn after you commit to a 30day rental.

We were left with an unprecedented heating bill after this guest’s stay, more than double the amount we ever saw before. We also had to spend hundreds of dollars in plumbing services after she left. Regarding parking, the add is clear that the unit only includes street parking. This guest seemed to believe to be entitled to park in one of our parking spaces. This was our only guest who refused to park where we ask, claiming it is a ‘narrow road’ (it is one of the main roads in Orinda), and decided to park in front of the neighbor’s property instead. After causing all these problems, and we doing everything to accommodate all her requests and needs, this guest somehow still felt it was ok to leave us a poor review. Unfortunately, this is the type of guest we would prefer not to have again n our property.
