Happy to stay, excellent location, clean place and very good communication with host. Had a couple of minor suggestions for improvement for future guests which were received well. Would easily to choose to stay again when in the area.
This is a cottage behind an apartment building that was very quiet, but close to shopping and trendy stores. It was comfortable and clean and just right for a visit to my son who lives in the same area. Thank you, Chris!
My one-night stay at this cottage was perfect. The space was super clean, the bed was comfy, and Chris was very accommodating to me and my service animal. Location is amazing. I felt safe arriving later in the evening. Walking distance to great coffee shops and BART and pretty central to hip neighborhoods and restaurants in Oakland. Would definitely stay here again!
The perfect place for a couple. Just around the corner from 4 coffee houses, groceries, restaurants, boutiques. Lots of room to stretch out, super comfy bed, good shower, well supplied with everything we needed. Hope to return.
I couldn't have been happier with my experience. The property was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully organized. The host was excellent, always prompt and helpful with communication. The neighborhood was fun to explore, with the convenience of having a grocery store and great cafes just a short stroll away. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area.
The cottage was cozy and quiet, tucked behind the main house. Everything needed was there. It is in walking distance to restaurants and shops, surrounded by a quaint neighborhood. It is close to a BART station. And Chris was a great host.
Chris was very responsive to my many questions as a first time guest. Description is very accurate. Location is conveniently within walking distance of St. Albert’s Priory, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. It was very nice to have the option to park on the property for a small fee. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Oakland.
This was a clean, quiet, and safe space for us to cocoon in after fast visits with friends and family. The space is small, but entirely adequate and well-appointed. We'll definitely be back.
The little cottage was very neat and clean, off the street in a quiet courtyard. Everything that we needed was provided. The only downside was that the double bed was a little small for two adults, but there was a futon available as well.
We were in the area to see a concert in Berkeley. This location was perfect for our needs. It was less than two miles walking distance to the show, very close within walking distance to all restaurants & cafes (and Trader Joes) and most importantly is was safe and very quiet. There is lots of hustle and bustle going on around the neighborhood, but this place. is tucked away behind all the noise and is incredibly quiet. We also were provided with onsite parking for a little extra fee which was totally worth it. Thank you for this great place!!
Chris’ place was awesome! The apartment was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Close to public transportation, groceries, cafes! There were many motion-activated security lights around the outside property, which made us feel very safe. Chris was very responsive with messaging!
The place is clean and organized. The neighborhood is safe and on a excellent location: 5 min walking to ROCKRIDGE BART STATION! You can easily find good restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores around the block. + Chris is a great host and the communication with him it’s easy and fast.
Chris was communicative and answered every question I had throughout our stay quickly and kindly. The location is perfect and we were able to walk to College Ave in just a few minutes. My biggest complaint is something the owners of the property are clearly already working on which is the ant problem. They have ant traps at every window and door but still we found ants everywhere -- both dead and alive. We brought our dog with us and I'm grateful we brought our air tight container for his food too because everything in that cottage had ants. The coffee supplies all had dead ants in it and any crumb we missed had a small colony of ants on it by the next day... My only other item was that the comforter on the bed had some small stains on it and was fully synthetic so it made both me and my husband hot each night even with the windows open. All that said, I would stay here again as soon as I had confirmation that the place had been treated by an exterminator for ants and thoroughly cleaned. Chris is a wonderful host and it's a shame that the ants are so persistent.
Within walking distance of downtown Berkeley and Rockridge BART (if you're used to walking). Roomy for one person and a 45lb dog. Bedroom gets lots of sun, so portable fan didn't quite manage to keep it cool when the temperature rose above 75F/25C. Parking was challenging - used the driveway for $10/day and struggled to back out into traffic. That's on me, though, as I don't have good spatial sense. All in all, a quite positive experience.
It is not a one bedroom. It is a studio with a kitchen that has no stove and the bare essentials. Coffee, no tea, 4 forks, 3 knives, 3 plates, bowls. But the location is great and it was quiet. The owner was good at communicating.
Chris is a very responsive host, such a pleasure to communicate with. I arrived during a rare heat wave so things were toasty and humid all over Oakland. No AC but a great floor fan. It’s a busy street but I heard no traffic noise. The Rockridge neighborhood has plenty of trendy shops and eateries it’s a very charming neighborhood
The property was exactly as described. Chris was great about communicating. Clean, quiet and awesome location to grocery store, restaurants, etc. Would stay here again.
