Access for older or disabled people is very difficult. Uneven stairs and patio blocks make it a hazard. Musty smell activated my wife's allergies. VRBO's communication system not functioning. Could not respond to messages, nor could we initiate a message. Needed to call VRBO contact number to get garbage bags and kleenex. Not a make or break, but a nuisance when on vacation - time consuming. Overall, nice place to stay, however I can't get used to a porta potty 2 steps from the entrance.

Wonderful neighborhood; total privacy; everything was clean, well cared for, and comfy. Very minor suggestions: I couldn't find a dish towel; also there was no recycling bin. I replaced a burned out light bulb, but couldn't find one that exactly matched the other bulb in the light.

I’ll start with the positives: The location, the neighborhood, and the ease of parking made this property wonderful. The pictures are exact, and the owner is responsive. The negatives: The bed and pillows are so uncomfortable. Actually, they are just terrible, hard as a rock. I slept better on the plane. A nice option for longer stays, you can wash your clothes in a very moldy washing machine. The washing machine is in desperate need of sanitizing. It was nice to have a mini fridge, but the setting froze my food. The magic number is 7 to keep your food cold not frozen. Finally, the coffee maker was really dirty. I had to clean it very well before using it. As this is a room in an occupied house, we did hear noise at 9:30 at night which is completely reasonable but we were on east coast time. It was only on one night. All in all, you get what you pay for. I knew the place was small, and this was intended as a place to sleep. However, the quality of the bed and pillows caused extremely poor sleep. I will be booking a different property next year.

Good instructions from owner and check-ins during stay. Great place for two in an older well kept home. Lots of character and charm. Comfortable bed. Heaters worked well. Gorgeous original wood floors. Three rooms: entry/kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. No living/lounge/tv area. Outdoor patio/koi pond/garden is lovely if it's warm enough to be outside. Safe upscale neighborhood with street parking.

Very cool old building with friendly owners. This was the perfect spot in-between our local family, the show we attended, and amazing food. I was cautious at first due to the narrow roads but it was always easy to park right in front of the entrance. Ordering food in, was always seamless as well. I especially enjoyed walking through the neighborhood, there are so many cool old houses, "secret" stairways, and winding hedged paths. Once again, it's a pretty old building so be prepared for older mechanisms, it's very well maintained considering. By the end of our stay it just added to the charm of old Berkeley, couldn't have asked for a better place. I miss those Koi already!

This property was perfect for my weeklong stay. I felt very safe there and really enjoyed the beautiful covered patio. The bedroom was plenty large and comfortable. Before I left, the hosts added a perfect table for eating, games, writing etc. It really was a great addition. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. The location of this property is in a lovely area of Berkeley and I will hope to stay there again when I return.

Everything was just as described/pictured. This home has so much charm and was so peaceful. We slept easily in the quiet and had coffee on the patio. The shower was a little small (we’re tall folks) and I would have appreciated info about the outdoor staircase (we arrived in the dark). But it was so nice and made for a wonderful oasis on our trip.

I wish our stay was longer so I could have had lunch on the patio by the koi pond! The queen bed was one of the most comfy I’ve been in. A small table for 2 people to dine inside would have been more useful than the extra bed since it was too cold to have dinner outside.

Description of property provided by owner is accurate. Nice quiet place, well equipped and well suited for 2 people with car. As somebody mentioned before the shower would be too small for "XL" size person. In warm weather table on patio is a great place to have a meal, read a book or work. Place would be a perfect if the third bed in kitchenette could be replaced with a table, couple of chairs and some shelves for groceries.Highly recommended for 2 people.
