Liked: Cleanliness
Excellent home for one couple and two single adults while we attended the wedding of a family friend. The home was very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and it was so close to everything in Berkeley. Easy walking distance to the BART, campus, downtown Berkeley, and great food options. Nice ground floor apartment with good lighting. Some noise from the upstairs apartments, but nothing too obnoxious. The Friday night football excitement from across the street was an added bonus.

Berkeley visit

Overall this was a 4.5 stay. The only thing that we didn't like was that we booked for 8 people and there were only 6 towels (we had to go buy 2 more). Our stay was during an unusual hot weekend for this time of year. We would've loved some fans to cool the place down a bit... not really the houses fault! We loved the location. I thought the bed was comfortable (My wife didn't really)
