Outstanding home away from home in the heart of Berkeley!

I just finished a two week stay in Berkeley, visiting my daughter for the holiday. My stay was absolutely awesome! The host Frank and his family were the best, and made everything as smooth and easy as could be. You could not find nicer, more amazing hosts! The space is absolutely perfect for a longer stay. Great, full kitchen, comfortable sitting space and a spacious bedroom with a super comfortable, memory foam bed. The neighborhood is a quiet, safe residential area and only a 15 minute walk to the heart of downtown Berkeley and another 5 from there to the UC Berkeley campus. The unit is in the back and was super quiet. Coming in and out was a breeze, even at night as Frank has motion lighting all the way from the from the back. It also had plenty of windows to get natural light all day, all with light-blocking curtains so you can sleep in if you need. All-in-all this was the best VRBO unit I've ever stayed in. Thank you Frank for an awesome two weeks!! I will most certainly be back soon!

House was clean and met all our expectations

Frank is one of the best owners we’ve ever rented a VRBO from. The house was clean and had all the amenities we expected. It’s close to UC Berkeley, and walking distance to great restaurants around the place.
