All good. Well stocked kitchen. Clean. Every thing you need for a short stay. Climbing 2 flights of stairs might be difficult for some. The lock box could use some wd40. It was not always easy to open. We would definitely come back.

Loved our stay in the Berkeley Hills. Very comfortable bed and pillows, lovely linens, cozy and flexible space. Sweet to be greeted in person by Tal and shown around, along with a bottle of wine and a fresh cake! Liked that there was a full kitchen set up and games - we were out so much that we didn't have much chance to take advantage of those, but that meant we were enjoying the area. I'd say laundry is helpful in a pinch, but two-in-washer/dryers don't work super well in general. Not a big deal - a plus if needed and maybe not something I'd count on using again if we return. Would stay here again for sure - thank you!

Yes the hosts were very communicative and welcoming. Lovely fresh cake, wine and chocolates upon arrival. I would only caution future guests that there are step stairs leading to the studio. It would not be appropriate for someone with mobility issues.

Just lovely. Clean, modern, hosts were easily accessible if necessary. We didn’t need them. Nice view of city. Excellent choice. Glad we stayed although the 22?steps up were a bit challenging for 2 80 yr old women. We’ll be back.
