Good Place in Great Neighborhood
This is a nice unit that the owner/host has done a good job of decorating to make comfortable and homey. It is within reasonable walking distance of some very good restaurants, bakeries, produce markets, cheese shops, butchers and grocery stores and BART. It is also very well furnished, at the top of any VRBO in which we have stated. The host was very friendly, extremely responsive and very solicitous of anything we needed. We booked the place for two weeks because we decided to move out of our condo during renovation of our two bathrooms that was going to take between 6-8 weeks. We wanted a home away from home and were disappointed to find that the full size refrigerator that we saw in the photos of the place had been replaced with a mini-fridge that was in serious need of defrosting. It was not adequate for what we wanted or needed during our stay and we ended up bringing in an ice chest to keep some things cold. The property description was also not exactly accurate in saying that it had a "coin operated laundry" as there are no washer or dryer on premises. The reference is to a laundromat that is over four blocks away. The place is perfectly fine, although taller folks may feel a little confined by the less that 7' ceilings. It just did not have all we wanted given the length and purposes of our stay.

Great, large apartment in lower Rockridge
This is a great property in lower Rockridge and a very good value. We stayed over a long weekend during a family event nearby. Jeri is a terrific host with excellent communication. She was on site if needed, but nothing was needed. She was also flexible and helpful with things like extra bedding. Some things to know: This is a spacious basement apartment with a large living/dining room, small but full bathroom, large kitchen and separate bedroom. There's a small built-in desk in the living room and plenty of power. If there is any negative, it is that this is in a very nicely finished basement. The ceiling is not quite full height and there is a slightly musty smell. That said, it is very clean and nicely furnished. It is warm, quiet and safe. The water pressure in the shower could be better, but it's perfectly adequate. I note these negatives just so customers are aware up front. On the flip side, it's very reasonably priced, cute, and convenient. I would absolutely stay here again. Jeri is one of the best and nicest hosts I've encountered.

Great place to stay in Oakland
This proved to be the perfect place for me to stay in Oakland while I was visiting my daughter who lives in the area. I was traveling alone, and felt very safe there. The apartment is roomy, comfortably furnished, and well equipped. The bed was especially comfortable and conducive to a good night’s sleep. The apartment is located in the back yard of a quiet street, so there was very little noise. I loved being close to Berkeley, and went to Berkeley Bowl and Trader Joe’s a couple of times. I always found parking on the street, sometimes a few houses down, but this was not a big deal for me. I had a difficult journey getting there due to flight issues, so arrived much later than l had planned. Jeri very kindly met me and walked me to the door of the apartment and opened it up for me. My stay was problem free. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

The apartment is very spacious and clean, the bed very comfortable and in an area walkable to dining and grocery shopping. A tall person might find the low ceilings a little claustrophobic but it didn't bother us. Communication with the host was very good. It met our needs and we would return.

A satisfied returning customer!
Returned to this location after staying here about a year ago. The host is very attentive and communicates well. The unit is cozy but uncluttered. A very nice choice for two 60 -somethings visiting children in the area. The kitchen has an extraordinarily good set of knives and cookware. Will return again next chance we get.

Great property
The property was super clean. The bed was super comfy. The host was very helpful. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit my son. My only concern was the dining room chairs were rather hard. I weigh less than 100 pounds and do not have excess padding. I understand cushions may get spills on but next time I will order some ahead. It is the least I can do to give back to a host with such good taste and excellent customer service skills.
