Overall it was fine. There were several things that were troublesome but not really problematic, such as operating some of the doors, the appliances were dated but not badly, and the furniture has seen better days (some old, some damaged)
That being said, the location was good, the price was reasonable for the area, and the bathroom was nice.
While it wasn't a bad stay and Phat was a very responsive host, I would look elsewhere for my next trip to Berkeley.
The property was clean. The roominess was more than adequate for the three of us. The purpose of the stay was to visit family in the area. Thus, our time in the VRBO was not so much.
Local family members commented that we should be aware of our surroundings due to the location of the VRBO. We never felt uncomfortable in the area; but most of our time was spent at the home of our family.
This property is located on a main street; but the street noise was very minimal. The host was very kind to advise us that parking was available on the side street nearby.
I had some questions for the host and they were very prompt to respond and answered my questions completely.
The next time we are in the area we will definitely check their availability to see if it matches our schedule.
Lucky cleaning lady was still there when we arrived. Keys were in a lock box attached to a chair outside. She pointed that out. Will take own skillets next time. Everything else was wonderful. Grandson in college there and probably will stay there again to see him.
We stayed at the home for my childs college visit. The directions to the house and parking were fantastic. The house is roomy and clean, very comfortable beds.

About the host

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.
