The Vrbo is in a great location. Itâs 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.
beds were comfortable, everything was clean and as pictured/presented, although the carpeting in hallway and bedrooms could use a cleaning. for the price, it was a good value. love the neighborhood! owner/host was very responsive during our stay.
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.
My wife and I had a 3 week stay in this cottage while visiting family and grandchildren living nearby. It has all of the charm and some lovely quirks typical of an old Berkeley craftsman-type home built in the 1920âs/1930âs. Comfortable, and we had no issues with the home or its systems. We took our granddaughter on stroller tours all around the area, ranging from Westbrae to the north, Monterey market to the Northeast, down to the 4th street shops to the west and the UC Berkeley campus to the south. We most likely walked/strolled a total of 100 miles through the neighborhoods while there. We found the location to be very convenient for all these pleasant walks.Andreas, the host was pleasant and helpful with the minimal communications we had. We believe this home represents a good value for the money spent. Weâd certainly stay there again.
Not maintained. The place has construction scaffolding, unkempt yard, unsightly overgrowth, paint peeling everywhere. So much junk on drainboards there's hardly room to cook. Extremely dangerous driveway. We didn't invite family members over. Pretty bad.
Andreas' house was fine for our needs. The location was excellent and why we picked that house. It fit our needs. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked.On unexpected issue was that the water pressure in the kitchen sink was so low that any dish cleaning was challenging. We alerted Andreas and hopefully that will get fixed.
Since this is my very first stay at a VRBO it is hard to compare but the little house had comfortable seating and beds and it was easy to access. The little things that you have to figure out for yourself were exactly that- easy. I guess I could try to find faults but if what you need is a comfortable space for a few days why look for faults. It had what we needed and thatâs enough. I feel like I should add that it was stylish and cool.
The home is really charming, vintage and simple. Photos depict the space accurately. When the backyard gets done, it will be nice to really enjoy. I hope to stay next time I'm in town as it was a perfect location to get to the university, marina, transit and amenities. Parking on street was no problem. Thank you, Andreas, for sharing the home.
This lovely home was in a quiet neighborhood but centrally located. Very distinctive in layout and architecture. Within walking distance to many things. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals and the rooms were comfortable. Dog park close by (or playground if you have littles). We will definitely be back.
House was well-suited for our party of 3, with a separate bedroom for our high school aged grandson. Coffee shops on nearby San Pablo were convenient. The house obviously needs many improvements but it's fine for a short stay. And the neighborhood is very quiet.
Don't park on the street under the neighbor's tree to avoid a heavy dusting of very sticky sap.
My old college roommates and I were looking for a place that was more comfortable than a hotel but close to public transportation such as the Bart and Bus lines. This place was it. Our host was friendly and responsive in our communication. It has everything we needed such as plates and utensils for our takeout and clean fridge for our fruit and milk. The location is ideal as we were close to a lot of cades, bakeries, restaurants and even Target.We hope to book this place again when we are in Berkeley. I highly recommend.

Shabby Craftsman Cottage
Everything was there as listed in the description; for example a dishwasher that sits on the counter and must be manually filled, but the place is right out of the 1950âs. And cold. Portable heaters located in the living room and hallway but no heating vents in the bedrooms or bathroom. If the price was reduced by 1/3, it would be okay but as offered, itâs no bargain.
