I needed a serene place to rest around the time I was moving and would be putting my furniture into storage. Eli and Tal's studio is sparking clean, tastefully furnished, even has a balcony-like setting right outside the door with round table and 2 chairs for al fresco meals. The studio is below the main house. When vibrations from fast footsteps upstairs interrupted tranquility, all I had to do was let Eli know. Whoever was the fast walker upstairs was compassionate... slowed down their steps. Be careful climbing 2 short flights of stairs to get to the private studio. Oh, the Welcome presents of wine, chocolates and delicious home-baked apple cake! A thousand thanks from this grateful and happy guest. You gave me contentment. VRBO's rating system is 1 to 5 ... Eli and Tal deserve 10. I wish you and your family vibrant health and happiness always.

Overall this location worked out fine for us. It's convenient to all sorts of amenities. The bed was comfy.
It is smaller than we anticipated, and it's a basement suite. As such, you can hear the owners above and if you're a bit claustrophobic it might bug you. It's probably better for a single traveler than a couple. We also didn't anticipate the on-street parking, but it turned out to be ok.
The host was very accommodating and even greeted us with a homemade apple dessert.

We loved the location! We took long walks around the hills, including the Rose Park. The apartment is not large, but yet it has all you need, including a stove for cooking and a washing machine. Thank you for your hospitality.

The perfect spot for my East Bay visit with friends and family. I grew up in the area and Eli’s home was the perfect retreat and home base for me to visit my old haunts and meet up with friends and family. Walking distance to the original Peets and Cheeseboard, and Solano Ave. Nestled in the hills with a sweet view , while still being convenient and centrally located. The space has all the comforts of home. Every detail attended to. I look forward to returning. Just hope it’s not booked!

This studio in North Berkeley was perfect for us. It was clean and comfortable, well-appointed, a generous size for a studio, and in a lovely neighborhood. Parking in the neighborhood was easy. It's in walking distance of great restaurants and shops.
Eli was such a nice host. He was easy to communicate with by text, and we were even greeted with a warm home-baked treat waiting for us in the studio upon our arrival!
Really an all-around enjoyable stay.

I had the great opportunity to stay at Tal and Eli's place while visiting my daughter at Berkeley and really enjoyed it! The place had everything I needed, was a great landing spot and also allowed me to get some work done. Eli brought me a hot apple cake that was gone in about 15 minutes after bringing it to my daughter's place! I look forward to staying again!

This was a great location and great spot to get everywhere quickly. Tal & Eli were quick to respond to one small need and welcomed us with a warm apple cobbler! Very welcoming and delightful place. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.
Thanks

This was perfect for what I needed. I just needed a place to be comfortable that was close to amenities. Tal and Eli were very responsive and they welcomed me with chocolates, an apple crumble and wine. So amazing.

This stay was my 2nd time at this place. The only problem is that it's awesome, and always booked, so hard to stay again on my visit next month as there is no availability.

The studio apartment is a cozy & comfortable base for Bay Area visitors. Eli & Tal consummate hosts - from Eli’s warm welcome & orientation, help with our luggage & homemade apple cobbler & wine. Highly recommended!

This property is beautifully situated in North Berkeley, close to everything you might want in terms of wonderful parks, views, friendly neighborhood. It is also close to what people in Berkeley refer to as the Gourmet Ghetto, lots of good eating places. The actual apt is tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything you might need. There is a lovely view out to the Bay. The proprietors are friendly, welcoming, and helpful if you need it. They provided a splendid wine and tasty home baked apple cake as a welcome. The best thing I can say about our stay there is that it was like home: it felt comfy, safe, had all that we needed and provided the perfect base for our Berkeley adventures. A++ in my rating

What a great experience! This is the perfect place for a couple to stay in the hills above Berkeley. Very comfortable space in a charming neighborhood. Tal & Eli were wonderful hosts as well! They were extremely accommodating when our travel plans changed our arrival last minute. Extremely courteous hosts, and they even gifted us a bottle of wine as part of our stay. We would highly recommend staying here!

My son and daughter-in-law stayed here for two nights and it was perfect for them.
Their only suggestion is in regard to the outdoor solar lights that stay on all night and shine through the windows into the bedroom area. They thought a heavier shade/curtain would help to not have the room so bright at night.
They appreciated the wine and crumble cake and said everything was very clean and well stocked.

4.0
The host, Eli, was helpful and welcoming. Everything was fine in the apartment, bit it's quite small (10'x20'?) with little natural light. Sort of a "basement" vibe. Nice North Berkeley neighborhood, within easy walking distance (15 min) of Shattuck St. restaurants and shops, but quite far from the Downtown Berkeley BART station.

My wife and I stayed for a few days during the Thanksgiving holiday while visiting family. We enjoyed our stay, and would use this property again when the need arises. There were even some excellent homemade goodies upon arrival!

A friend and I stayed in this lovely little unit, and we were delighted! (Two people is probably the max.) The hosts, Tal and Eli were warmly welcoming, and could not have been more helpful, accommodating our request for a floor mattress so each of us could have a bed. The unit is light and cozy with everything needed for our 3 day stay, including a washer/dryer for a quick, small load of clothes. Tal greeted us with a yummy homemade cake and bottle of wine. The location is fabulous, close to UC Berkeley campus, Shattuck (Cheese Board!), Solano, Tilden, all of our destinations. We loved it and will stay there again!

Friendly hosts and a great spot to visit Berkeley. The welcome apple crumb cake was fantastic. Didn't get a chance to open the welcome bottle of wine, but it was a very thoughtful touch. The place is quite compact, but it has all the functionality you need. The appliances I did use were in good working order and the kitchen was stocked well with good quality tools. We walked to and from the Greek Theatre at UC-B. The hills make it a bit more challenging on the way back, but it is a pleasant walk. We even saw a few deer wandering around the neighborhood. On the last day, the clouds cleared and you could even get a glimpse of the Golden Gate bridge from the walkway. Thanks to the host, it was a very well done place.
