We really enjoyed our stay. Very helpful communication, easy check-in/out, and the place was very clean with thoughtful/practical touches. Plenty of towels, easy to use the kitchen, good water pressure and wifi, and very quiet and comfortable at night.

Great location with shopping nearby. Actually, the city is pretty easy to get around. Kitchen was amply stocked, plenty of linens and comfy beds. I would add that if you have difficutly with mobility the front of the house has a steep drive that might be difficult to manage. Loved our host-helpful and considerate.

Comfortable old craftsman house. small quaint bathroom.Nice size rooms and living areas with a huge tv. Water from the tap is an issue but we just used the big fresh water filter in the kitchen. Nice quiet neighborhood with street parking for a mid size suv.

Great location

The Vrbo is in a great location. It’s about 4 blocks from the North Berkeley BART station and is an easy walk to a coffee bar and bagel place on one side and a bakery on another side. The bed is comfortable, the water filter quite amazing, plenty of towels, a usable outdoor space and easy in and out.

The house was immaculate and spacious, set in a lovely quiet neighborhood! We were able to walk 2 blocks to the main road to find many great restaurants.Plenty of towels and hot water. Thoughtful to include a drinking water filter system. Note that the bathroom is quite small.Would have liked a brand new clean sponge rather than an old used one in the sink. The back door did not really lock, as well as windows when open, which made us uncomfortable. The driveway does not really exist next to the house (tiles are lined up to drive on but should not use due to gas line in middle) so must use on street parking, which was very easy to find.

Fit the bill!

My mother, sister and I visited my brother and sister-in-law in Berkeley. I was pleased to find this listing close to their place. The home offered separate comfortable living quarters Andreas was great to work with and was amiable to a few Reasonable accommodations. We are excited to return soon to visit again! Cozy and homey, with space for us to eat and play games together.

Charming vintage house in Berkeley

A step back in time to a stay in an older home in Berkeley. It is just a few blocks from where we lived in the 1970's when we were students at CAL and we felt very at home. Beds are very comfortable, the small kitchen very workable and well equipped (we use it for breakfasts and dinners). Would definitely stay here again.

This is a comfortable place to stay.

Everything you need is there. The back sections are a little run down but useable. The fenced yard was great for the dog, but could use a cleanup.
