It was easy to make simple things. We did borrow a coffee filter we prefer pour over coffee. But everything in the rooms was pleasant and the place was clean. Nice views of hills and the yard also the flat is close to many transportation options, and so walkable to alot of great food and coffee!

Spacious, clean, uncluttered upper unit. Everything (stove, shower, microwave, etc.) was simple to operate and worked well. Near BART, Rockridge, and a short bus to Cal campus. One hiccup in our four days. I texted Chris and he called immediately and walked me through steps to resolution. A plus.

PROS: Host communication was always very prompt; Location was convenient - walking distance to stores and restaurants; Size of the home was great (two full bedrooms, and two large living/family rooms); nice size kitchen, kitchen nook, and laundry area; the home was clean with ample bedding and towels. CONS: Stairs up to the home make it a challenge when you're traveling with a dog or bringing up your luggage; thin walls and floors (I did not feel comfortable leaving my 5-month-old puppy in his crate for more than a few minutes for fear that he would bother my neighbors); busy street so it is worth the extra 12/day for off-street parking; the off-street parking was a very narrow driveway, so if you're driving a large SUV (as I was), it can be a challenge getting in and out; a very small garden area in the back was not very conducive for a dog. Having to take him down the stairs and around the block to do his business was very cumbersome; no AC and it was pretty warm when I was there (they do have three portable fans though); no dishwasher (how can can those dishes really be?). If you're traveling alone or with one other person (or couple), it's a nice place. Just know that your voice will be heard and you will hear voices downstairs.

Great location. Felt very safe. Walkable. Our host was easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Some upgrades needed - new towels, PILLOWS and more than 4 glasses. Appreciated all of the framed memos around the house. We obviously don't take a vacation to watch TV - but an explanation of how to make the darn thing work would be great. Would we stay again. Sure, but we would bring our own pillows, towels and glassware.

Great Location, clean

Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Plenty of street parking and allowed our pup to stay with us. Only negative was the wood floors that made it tricky to walk quietly with being on the second level.

The property was as depicted in the photos. It was an excellent place for our adult daughter living in the area to join us. Our pooch, Rocco, was thrilled to be able to join us too!Quick walk to Safeway, coffee shops and restaurants. Short drive to the many museums and parks. Chris was responsive and welcomed suggestions. We would happily stay here again!

Nice clean upstairs flat in Rockridge

We really enjoyed our stay here, and since our main purpose was to visit our son and attend the Big Game, we also appreciated being right next to the bus stop where we could hop on for a short ride up College to Memorial stadium. Also nice to be really close to all of the great restaurants on College. Chris was a great communicator and we had no problems with anything during our stay

Walkable and welcoming

We enjoyed our stay! The location is great - there are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and stores within easy walking distance. Free street parking can be found nearby but keep in mind the occasional street cleaning day. The neighborhood was also nice to walk around during the day. The building was great and the accommodation comfortable. If you have the windows open expect some street noise which you'd expect from the area.

Very close to 5 stars!

House was very cute and in an awesome area. Everything was convenient to get to! Some feedback on how this could be a 5 star: please provide better tv cable options or smart tv, windows had cracks in them, little ants were present and the smoke detector was way to sensitive with there being 0 smoke and nothing on the stovetop. Overall we had a great time, very cozy and spacious!

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
Here are responses to the points Ashley brought: 1) A smart TV with ChromeCast is provided. I never had a complaint about it not having a cable (stated clearly in the listing) as most guests are busy touring Bay Area or visiting relatives/friends. 2) One window was cracked by a previous guest but it is a hairline fracture that does not cause any air flow. 3) Like any house, there will be little creatures, such as ants or spiders. 4) I posted explicit signs to turn on the hood vent when using the stovetop. Smoke alarm will not go over unless there is smoke. My responses are just clarifications. Otherwise, Ashley and her friend were good guests and took care of the house.
