"good"

Remodeled Cottage in Trendy Berkeley/Oakland Rockridge Area

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage did not seem newly remodeled; scuffs on walls, the bath linens and some of the furniture somewhat worn, but I give it 5 stars because it felt comfortable, clean enough, safe, quiet, and close enough to BART (about 12 minutes walk for me) and cafes so I didnt need a car, that was very convenient! Also, Chris was responsive and helpful."

Cozy 2-bedroom condo in fabulous Berkeley next to the marina

8/10 Good

"El apartamento es agradable y tiene cerca un gran supermercado eco que nos gustó mucho. Nos alojamos 5 personas y descansamos bien, a pesar que una habitación es de paso al baño. Faltaba algun cubierto y plato."
