Good Location, So-So Accomodations
The up-side: The place is within walking distance to Berkeley and very close to UCBerkeley (although it is up a hill). It's roomy and can easily accommodate 6 people. The beds are comfortable. Also, it has two (tandem) off-street parking spaces which is a plus for the area. The down-side: If you're looking for the view that shows on the website (one of the attractions for us), the trees have grown and the view is pretty much gone. Overall, the place is a little run-down (beat up kitchen cabinets, yard sale type furniture, holes in the bedsheets, bathroom light bulb not working) and not super clean (the floors seemed like they hadn't been vacuumed before we arrived, the entire kitchen and most of the dishes/utensils/pans could use a good scrubbing, and when we opened the dryer, it was full of sheets and had pretty gross dust and dirt all around the seal). Also, the kitchen is not that well stocked. Dishes are a bit of a mish-mash and it didn't have many basics like a large pasta pan, pancake turner (spatula), vegetable peeler, pot holders, etc. And, we were there for 5 nights but the paper towels and TP only lasted about 2 days. It's probably hard to find a really nice place in Berkeley, and this place could be nice with a little more TLC.
