Fantastic property and great location

Nice place in the right location

A nice place that matched the listing details (except there is no on-property parking available), which was clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host regarding logistics around access due to a heavy storm the day before we arrived.

Fantastic 2 Bedroom

This property was perfect for 3 of us. It was in a safe area with plenty of food close by. It was a good base for our trip that included San Francisco, Oakland, and Monterey. The back yard was a nice area to go sit in the evenings and enjoy the weather.

Clean and roomy. Easy flow through home. Quiet inside. Can close off bedrooms for quiet time if someone watching tv in family room. Solid location for driving access to Oakland/SF. Easy drive to campus or walkable to campus ( 1 1/2 miles) if energetic. Host immediately responded to logistics questions. Was a huge help.

The house itself was very comfortable and well kept. It was not clear in the listing it was on a Main Street and the outside around the door there was a lot of clutter. Tea maker was great. Would have loved a coffee maker.

Comfortable escape

Communication with the host was excellent. We knew we were arriving after midnight, and after letting the host know they gave us reassurance that entry would be easy- and it was. It was a great place to unwind after spending time with family in Berkeley and SF. Easy to walk to some great breakfast spots. Would definitely stay here again.

A pleasant Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here, we brought our fur baby with us and having a backyard was a plus! Its nestled in a quiet cool neighborhood, easy parking on residential streets and quick access to a cute coffeeshop. The place was clean and homey and they even left us fresh flowers for us to enjoy. Great stay! Happy to recommend to others.

Charming little house in Berkeley

The location of this little home was well positioned to walk to the BART station, explore the little surrounding neighborhood (with some hidden gems for food), and a short drive to downtown and campus. It was a bit tricky to get into the property and the description of how to get in was a little confusing. The inside of the home was cute, clean, and comfortable (though one of the beds had a very firm mattress and the support was a bit rickety). I wish the outside had been a bit tidier and more user friendly because it has a nice courtyard, but a lot of forgotten stuff back there and weeds growing. Overall it was a very convenient, comfortable, and affordable place to stay while enjoying Berkeley!

Berkeley on a Budget

The San Pablo house is on a busy industrial block and guests should be comfortable with added security measures. Home is clean with R/O in kitchen. Bathroom shower curtain rod needs attention.

Hard to get in

When we arrived there were three locks to negotiate and one didn't work. We finally got in touch with the owner and he advised us how to break in. After that the property was fine and worked well for us. But property owner should simplify access.

Clean, large house in commercial neighborhood

House was great, very clean. Located on a busy street with lots of businesses like car repair shops. Took off a star because the driveway gate would not lock. Be advised that if you open the driveway window in the bedroom furthest away from the street that an alarm may go off.

Not the Best Fit

We needed a space close to Berkeley, in a reasonable price range, where we would have room for my daughter’s things for move-in at college. While it met this need, we chose to find alternative accommodations for sleeping for the second two nights of our stay. The “house” is actually behind a closed store front giving the house an odd and disjointed floor plan. The description of the listing as “cheerful” was not met. Additionally, on either side of the house are abandoned buildings. If you are not looking to spend a lot of time at the property or have a low need for a pleasant aesthetic, this would work for you, but my family didn’t feel safe or comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Phat Nguyen

Host profile image
I am a medical doctor who has travelled extensively around the world and I would love to host guests who come to visit the San Francisco Bay Area who want to stay in Berkeley.

Why they chose this property

I like Berkeley because of it's the home of the world-renowned University of California at Berkeley. There are swimming pools and gyms at the University that guests can use by buying day passes. Berkeley is famous for its food scene with many excellent restaurants., particularly Chez Panisse where California cuisine was born Berkeley also has a university-town atmosphere with many bookstores, coffee shops, and really smart students.

What makes this property unique

- Close to freeways that take you to Napa Valley for wine tasting or downtown San Francisco which can also be reached easily by public transportation (BART)
- Walkable to famous coffee shops and unique stores in Berkeley.
