Wide angle view of the space. Shows layout well but does exaggerates size.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Enjoyed our stay despite several disappointments. Host was fine and communicated well; check in was a breeze. House has ample space and bedrooms for large families but bathrooms are a bit small. House was generally clean but found bugs in bathrooms and kitchen area the first night and throughout the week. Walkway from house to dock is mostly red clay and backyard has poison growing adjacent to walkway, to which my son is highly allergic. We hoped to utilize the dock for simply docking our boat to enjoy the lake with family but found no way to simply dock our boat and use the dock. Power outlets at dock were locked out also so no chance of charging any onboard batteries or gear. Kids enjoyed jumping in and swimming at the dock but there’s no ladder so be prepared for other means to get them back up on the dock. Wife enjoyed SUP from the dock. Overall pleased with our stay but could’ve been much better.

Great location great hosts

I rated this property good rather than great because it lacked light and while it advertised a view of the bay that was limited to a small window. However the hosts were gracious and helpful. The location was excellent and the property well equipped and maintained. The price was very fair.

Small and efficient spot in a great location

This place is small, space for no more than two people. The Hosts were communicating well and the space is well equipped for light cooking, but you are walking distance from the best restaurants in Berkeley.

Great location in Berkeley hills

Great location in the North Berkeley Hills. Tal & Eli made it easy to check in and out, had great goodies waiting for us, and responded quickly to queries. We had the choice between this and a hotel and are very happy we made the right choice. The place is smallish but well appointed and very comfortable.

Feb. 13 - Feb. 22 2025

It was a central location for us to visit San Francisco, Moraga, Milpitas, Bodega Bay, Santa Rosa, El Cerrito, etc.The owners put a lot of care and thought in the quality of materials and design of the space used in remodeling it for a VRBO. Plenty of street parking, great binder of info/instructions.It is close to shops, grocery stores and restaurants.The owners had a wonderful, tasty apple dessert and shared the recipe. They also provided a lovely bottle of wine.Quick response to questions by email and text.We enjoyed our stay so much, we were able to book the place for another stay.If you are a senior with limited mobility, be aware there are stairs you'll need to climb to get to the VRBO unit.We highly recommend - quiet/ peaceful respite.

Perfect stay to visit daughter at Cal!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The view from the kitchen window is beautiful overlooking the bay. We even found a bottle of wine and homemade apple cake waiting for us. Cute and clean just as advertised. Minor suggestion would be to provide a lighter weight blanket for the bed. The down comforter in the closet is too heavy for fall nights. Highly recommend this charming place!
