Great spot

Responsive hosts, convenient location, very clean, well-appointed, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Nice garden to sit in. Only one step up to get inside and no steps inside which was important for my elderly relative. (Just note for less mobile folks the shower is in a full tub so they may need help to navigate).

Perfect Bay Area Oasis

Clean, spacious home with really nice outdoor patio space, in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to several cute breakfast stops and close to Bart and grocery store options. This was the perfect place for my family’s five-night stay in the Bay Area to use as a quiet home base while being able to get to San Francisco and other areas easily. Hosts are very communicative and helpful. We loved everything about this property and our stay! Highly recommend.

The house is really a home

Lovely artwork and looks bigger than the pictures. House was clean with newer kitchen appliances. We only made coffee and toast for breakfast. Yet, kitchen had everything that you would need to make a full meal. One suggestion, don’t forget slippers as the polished cement is pretty but cold in every room except the bedroom. Dugger was communicative and extremely easy to work with, despite a bit of a hassle with VRBO in terms of the app confirming and cancelling my booking. The home served our purposes, although those not looking to drive should know that there are not lots of large grocery stores or several restaurant options in immediate walking distance, which was not an issue for us since we only needed a landing pad to spend time with friends.

Wonderful house. The outdoor area was especially lovely - and big! Super clean, well stocked kitchen to do our own cooking, washer & dryer. Not an issue for us, but 3rd bedroom access is via 2nd bedroom fyi. Quiet neighbourhood, ample easy street parking. Convenient to everywhere we had to be and wanted to go!

This house was great. Quaint and accommodating with a beautiful courtyard that was fantastic for sitting out on sunny days. Host, Dugger, was great. He was communicative and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Quiet oasis in Berkeley

This is a perfect house on a quiet street in Berkeley, within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Charming, comfortable and restful accommodations. Bright with skylit rooms. Dugger was a wonderfully gracious host, willing to be flexible when our flight delays altered our arrival. We hope to rent this house again on return trips to Berkeley!
