We really enjoyed having this space as our refuge & landing pad during our daughterâs graduation from Berkeley. Our host, Rob, was so on top of everything & made sure we knew he was there if needed. The condo itself was clean, dialed in with all the amenities, adorable backyard area & the beds/linens were very comfortable & high quality. We really appreciated all the little touches & attention to detail. They were dog friendly to boot! If youâre in need of a stay in the Berkeley/Emeryville/Oakland area, I highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay. The backyard looked like it had been recently upgraded - and was beautiful and a very relaxing place to hang out. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is very well equipped. Very nice art and decorations. Would love to stay again!
Robâs place was comfortable and convenient for our visit with family. The back patio was so nice. Iâm recommending this spot for others who will visit the area.
The place was comfy and well decorated inside. It was well laid out for relaxing and sleeping. The backyard was great to relax and talk while enjoying the butterflies, moths, and birds who were also enjoying the backyard. Amazing place!
The accommodations were very clean and simply furnished; comfortable beds and pillows. Parking on the street was very easy. Rob was very quick to respond to any questions.
Robert's condo was perfect for our son's wedding in Oakland. Three generations of family stayed here and we could walk to the wedding party venue. The place is funky and comfortable and the beer and bottle of wine were lovely welcoming touches. Thank you making our stay so effortless.
Clean and safe! Those are always my top priorities and this place delivered on both. My family needed a convenient place to stay to deal with a last minute family emergency and the last thing I needed was added stress. Robertâs place was no stress at all! We were very grateful for the clean place, yard for my pup and soft, comfy beds. Would definitely book again if Iâm in the area.
Robert's house was excellent for our family of four. It was clean and well-maintained, internet and TV worked great, communication could not have been easier. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space because of weather, but it looked very nice. Next time we are in the Bay Area I will be sure to check whether this property is available for a return stay.
The inside of the house was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked.
I was a bit disappointed by the how the front and backyards were neglected. There were some dead plants and tall weeds.
Weâre a family of four visiting from Atlanta for two weeks. Wonderful place to stay! Well placed between Berkeley, the City, Napa, and Marin. Emeryville just minutes away. Very comfortable home. Separate dedicated desk area for unavoidable vacation work, so you donât have to take over the dining area with computers and papers (like I often do). And Rob, the owner, couldnât be nicer or more helpful. Weâd definitely book it again.
We booked for our work crew to stay. The place is in a great location. They loved being comfortable in a house and not having to stay at a hotel. We booked for a month, they had their cleaner come in 2 times which was really nice as well. We liked it so much that we booked it for another month. When we work up in San Francisco, I will definitely check to see if they are open to book for our crew.

Delayed response for check in; had to contact VRBO chat to obtain code. Furnance malfunction was dealt with in 24 hours; one bathroom shower inoperative for last 3 days of stay. It was a holiday, and while I understand some delay, felt we did our best to acknowledge host limitations. Now that we are gone, no response to inquiry (including listing says sleeps 6, but were charged for anything over 4 people; needs to be more clear upon booking!)
As I was alone on this trip, I did not get to use the other two bedrooms, but this well-equipped home is ideal for a family. I especially enjoyed the office space which came equipped with fast Wi-Fi, a 24" computer monitor which I used, and a mouse and keyboard which I didn't (I brought my own.) The neighborhood is nice, and the bed was comfortable. All in all a very pleasant stay. The property manager was quick to respond to a couple of minor matters.
The backyard is peaceful. The neighborhood was fine and the unit was as expected. I did find a window that wouldnât shut and lock easily, but with care (and my fingernails) I could sort it out. We had a nice time here and would stay again. Iâm not sure why the price is a bit higher than similar rentals on the street (and the upstairs unit, which has better light/view).
Travelling during Christmas time is stressful always. With weather conditions flying is a chore. After 11 hours on a plane; it was wonderful to find a welcome refuge. Home. More precisely Robert's home but our sanctuary now. Exactly as advertised. We found our beds and settled in for a stress free week. Enjoyable.
Our Host was always available for any query we had... We do this again, and again.
First off, the neighborhood is lovely and in my opinion, nothing to worry about. Second, what a wonderful space to stay with everything you need. The instructions for check in/out were perfect. As well as the folder with everything detailed out from where to find the trash bags to how to use the milk frother. There were two things, an fyi of sorts. One, pay attention to how you use the heat, it sort of had a mind of its own. But i very well could have just not understood the directions. Two, the tv only has a few streaming apps that you need your own login for. I was able to mirror from my laptop to the tv, so we were able to watch any app i had. We couldn't miss couchella! Ha! Parking is plenty. Plenty of shops, food etc within walking distance. And central to everything if you're driving. Lastly, our host was very responsive, friendly and was right there for any questions or concerns. We had none. Thank you!
I stayed with family for three nights. We were very happy with how well-equipped the kitchen was and how comfortable the bed linens were. It was during a huge wind and rain storm, so we didn't get to spend much time outside, though the backyard was private (shared with upstairs but enclosed) and quiet.
The neighborhood was quiet and convenient. Nearby areas can be rougher, but this street seemed very peaceful.
We had an issue with a shower and the host took care of it right away.
