Charming Berkeley Craftsman Cottage

Host was awesome! The place is super cozy & beautiful. The driveway isn't suitable for parking and the bathroom is very small but overall I totally recommend it. If you're going to the UC Berkeley campus tour, it's perfect. You can walk to the local shops & restaurants, all the way to the university!

We enjoyed this home a lot! Fully equipped with everything we needed. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. There was any service or amenity within walking distance. The only issue is we had was a very low profile car. The drive way was at a bit of an incline so we parked on the street. Next time we will rent something a little high off the ground. Over we would rent again.

It was a trip that was going to be difficult to accomplish, cleaning out my late brothers house nearby which will be an ongoing project. Very emotional.I mentioned to my husband and sister how nice it was to return every evening into a peaceful calm environment. I really enjoyed the old world charm mixed with newer touches. Very comfortable beds, enough space for three adults to roam around through. Everything worked well for us while there. Andreas runs a tight ship and if we had any questions, he would be right there.Thumbs up to the Cozy Berkeley Cottage!

I don't know what to say about this property. There were issues, but the location is excellent with great restaurants nearby and BART 4 blocks away. Neighborhood is fairly safe. The house was clean, and is an old-fashioned 2 bed, 1 bath, small. The issues: It was like living in someone's DIY home renovation project. The bathroom and kitchen had some slight repairs (new floors, faucets), but the yard, front entrance, carpets, electrical outlets and especially windows needed some work. During a storm the bedroom window blew in and scared us (we were sound asleep). Strangely enough, it didn't shatter and we were able to put it back on it's runners. All of the windows were in poor condition. Annoyingly, the washing machine had a lock on it. Although in his welcome email the landlord said he would come by and unlock it, he never did. (Ghosted my text.)Again, not sure how to rate this. It's a good price, excellent location, but is in desperate need of repairs.Two additional notes. Musty smell when we entered, probably not suitable for those with asthma. No real steps to the entrance, so not suitable for anyone with an unsteady gait.
