This is a truly lovely property in the Berkeley hills, and Susie is a responsive, welcoming host. Well-located to explore Berkeley, historic neighborhoods, and I’d happily stay here even in the pouring rain. A perfect haven.

We had a great stay. The hosts were gracious. The apartment and gardens are beautiful and peaceful. The view from the house is wonderful. The primary bed is small, which we knew ahead of time, but the pullout bed turned out to be rather uncomfortable. But overall, this is a lovely place to stay.

This was a wonderful stay for us - comfortable, peaceful, and quiet while still being well within walking distance to the Berkeley campus. This will definitely be our first choice of lodging when we return to the area!NOTES for future guests: - great hosts with good communication and flexibility as well as clear check-in/check-out procedures and info for the apartment & surrounding area.- apartment has a view to SF and everything you need for a pleasant stay in addition to a lovely terraced garden area with fruit trees, flowers, and multiple seating areas.- parking was never an issue for the 10 days we were there - we always found a spot very near the entrance gate on the street. - if you have impaired mobility, be aware that the house is perched on a hill (thus the great view) which necessitates a fair number of stairs down to the apartment as well as at the entrance of the apartment (we stayed in the lower unit).

As nice as I've ever seen!

I've stayed in about a dozen Airbnb or VRBO rentals over the past few years and this is without a doubt my favorite of all. Located in a beautiful Berkeley neighborhood, the unit was large, clean and opened into a patio with paths leading to a very nice garden area on the lower part of the property. I highly recommend staying here!

Lovely spacious apartment up in the Berkeley hills. Wonderful views of the bay. Gardens are gorgeous. Host is responsive and we felt available if needed. Walkable to many restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and plan to be back next time we’re in Berkeley.

No mention of many steps. It was noisy. Lots of ants. Small bed.On the plus side, it is a great location and the hosts lent us a casserole dish.

Thanks for writing, Colin. Sorry you had a less than perfect visit. Yes, the bed is a double. Always a good mattress though. And you were here for torrential rains. The ants throughout Berkeley are a nuisance in rainy season.

Refreshing and Inspiring Weeklong Stay

This was a cozy, clean, and aesthetically inspiring apartment with a wonderful view and a sprawling garden. My kids (ages 9 and 13) and I stayed here nearly a week, doing all kinds of fun activities in Berkeley. I asked the 9 year old what her favorite part of the trip was, and she said cuddling up in the little book nook while looking out at the view every evening. They felt at home and did not get homesick at all--which is first!

The best place and the kindest hosts

Just amazing. The perfect if are going to visit UC Berkeley. I always stay with Susan and Greg if possible and I have been there 4 times during 8 years. The apartment is fine and cozy, the garden with birds and squirrels and the view of the bay and SF is just wonderful. So, I hope to be back soon.

Splendid view!

Spacious and clean one bedroom apartment with spectacular view of San Francisco, tucked on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills, only a short walk to the university. The apartment opens onto a beautifully maintained three level garden. It was a perfect spot for visiting our family who is scattered across the East Bay. Although we had little need to contact our hosts, they were readily available. We would definitely stay here again.
