Communication with the host was excellent. We knew we were arriving after midnight, and after letting the host know they gave us reassurance that entry would be easy- and it was. It was a great place to unwind after spending time with family in Berkeley and SF. Easy to walk to some great breakfast spots. Would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay here, we brought our fur baby with us and having a backyard was a plus! Its nestled in a quiet cool neighborhood, easy parking on residential streets and quick access to a cute coffeeshop. The place was clean and homey and they even left us fresh flowers for us to enjoy. Great stay! Happy to recommend to others.
The place is great and very well set up for a large group. The location is very convenient right by Charley Young beach in the heart of Kihei. The host is very welcoming and communicates well.
There was miscommunication at the beginning, but the owner provided what we need immediately. The owner responded message quickly. the house is clean and everything was prepared as online listing.
A nice place that matched the listing details (except there is no on-property parking available), which was clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host regarding logistics around access due to a heavy storm the day before we arrived.
The property manager was friendly, promptly replied to all inquiries and was open to our needs. The home was clean with new kitchen, bath, flooring. The Roku and TV and WiFi worked well. I would stay here again and again.
The location of this little home was well positioned to walk to the BART station, explore the little surrounding neighborhood (with some hidden gems for food), and a short drive to downtown and campus. It was a bit tricky to get into the property and the description of how to get in was a little confusing. The inside of the home was cute, clean, and comfortable (though one of the beds had a very firm mattress and the support was a bit rickety). I wish the outside had been a bit tidier and more user friendly because it has a nice courtyard, but a lot of forgotten stuff back there and weeds growing. Overall it was a very convenient, comfortable, and affordable place to stay while enjoying Berkeley!
This property was perfect for 3 of us. It was in a safe area with plenty of food close by. It was a good base for our trip that included San Francisco, Oakland, and Monterey. The back yard was a nice area to go sit in the evenings and enjoy the weather.
Nice indoor environment. Out door neighborhood tolerable. Adjacent property going for a change in ownership which will up scale neighborhood which is needed. Very close within steps of a nice neighborhood.
We stayed at the home for my childs college visit. The directions to the house and parking were fantastic. The house is roomy and clean, very comfortable beds.
Fun little place. Adequate parking in a place known for having slim options. Near many great places to eat for all meal times. Clean interior. Very nice back yard area with plenty of seating. A great option if you want to be near San Fransisco, but not stuck in San Francisco traffic.

San Pablo
Property was quiet even though it was right on San Pablo.
The apartment was clean and spacious. Not quite a residential area. But, everything that we needed in a visit to our daughter who lives nearby. Would stay there again.
House was great!! Location was also good. The neighborhood was a little sketchy at night, but not terrible. The outside fence was a pain bc there wasn’t much room between the fence and door so they hit each other every time entering, but that’s was just a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was really good and we’d stay here again!!
Very pleasant accommodations that are surprisingly private. Paved back yard area, nice kitchen and living room. Two nice bedrooms. Owner is very pleasant and responsive. There are some air fresheners, for those who are sensitive to that.

About the host
Hosted by Phat Nguyen
I am a medical doctor who has travelled extensively around the world and I would love to host guests who come to visit the San Francisco Bay Area who want to stay in Berkeley.
Why they chose this property
I like Berkeley because of it's the home of the world-renowned University of California at Berkeley. There are swimming pools and gyms at the University that guests can use by buying day passes. Berkeley is famous for its food scene with many excellent restaurants., particularly Chez Panisse where California cuisine was born Berkeley also has a university-town atmosphere with many bookstores, coffee shops, and really smart students.
What makes this property unique
- Close to freeways that take you to Napa Valley for wine tasting or downtown San Francisco which can also be reached easily by public transportation (BART) - Walkable to famous coffee shops and unique stores in Berkeley.
