Couldnt not find a better option in Berkeley

I was fortunate to have stayed for about a month and the location was fantastic, the place is exactly as described and it easily exceeded my expectations. As I am a regular visitor to Berkeley I almost didnt want to write a glowing review so no-one else books the place but couldn't do it to the owners who were also ready to help!

Outdoor, great music Friday nights nearby at former theater. Lockbox check in and departure. Incredibly responsive owner/mgr. Recommend!

Wonderful stay in Berkeley despite air quality and covid fears

Hillary couldn't have been more responsive and the apartment met our needs well. Kitchen was well stocked and Trader Joe's is 2 blocks away. Take out/food delivery easy. Felt safe at night. Apt is top floor of older house, spacious and clean, with washer, dryer, dishwasher, and excellent air purifier. Bed comfortable, kitchen chairs and sofa not so much for aging spines but cushions helped. Good shower in bathtub. Patio nice when weather cooperates. Parking spot included. Hope to return!

adorable apartment in the heart of Berkeley

This place is so adorable. The location is unmatched, you will be right smack in the middle of downtown Berkeley, 2 minute walk from the culinary delights of university ave and less then 10 minute walk to downtown Bart. Trader Joes is a 2 minute walk away. Even though you are downtown, the house still is very quiet. The kitchen is bright and light filled and you can hear the birds sing in the morning and outside there is a lovely sunny deck for drinking coffee. The washer/dryer/dishwasher are all brand new and work great. I don't think the pictures do justice to this happy space. The owner is very kind and responsive.We ended up staying for 6 months and loved it!

very nice place but...

Overall the flat is lovely: nicely furnished and equipped with literally everything you need. The kitchen is a wonderful space to cook, work and entertain. The only real downside is that the bathroom is incredibly cold in January as the window is fixed to be permanently open. Having said all this, be sure to book your entire stay on Homeaway upfront. Despite our longstanding written agreement (by email) that I would be occupying the flat for four months (I am on sabbatical in Berkeley), the owner managed to double-book the apartment for the latter portion of my stay, and made me move out after only four weeks. While she was apologetic, the resulting inconvenience has had a lasting negative impact on my time in Berkeley.

Place to Explore Berkeley!

Stayed at Bonita for 4+ months while I relocated to Berkeley from the East Coast. Was a great location to explore the city. One can get anywhere without a car, however, there is a parking space with the apartment which was very convenient in that neighborhood. There is a deck that faces the San Francisco bay. The sunset is amazing from the view as well as breakfast our doors in the morning. The place has a big yard for a dog, ours was always roaming around, very happy. This is a wonderful place too explore Berkeley for either a short or long stay!

A great rental for visiting business-people!

I work for a local company that brings a lot of contract workers from out of town for 1-2 months; I'm the one with the job of finding furnished apartments for them within walking distance of downtown Berkeley. This apartment (and the one downstairs) are easily my first choices when I we need something more than a hotel room. The apartment is charming, homey, and tastefully decorated; the landlords are highly responsive. There's laundry in the basement, parking in the back, Trader Joe's on the corner, and the Shattuck Avenue restaurants just a few blocks away -- who could ask for more? I'll also say that the value offered here is really great -- for this location, with these amenities, it's a find! My executives really like staying here; I really like working with these landlords...the only reason I hesitate to write a glowing review is it means it's less likely I'll be able to get in when I need it! But seriously -- if you're here to visit friends in the Berkeley area (or on campus) this is a great place to stay.

Luc's family

We arrived in the Bay Area from France with my family, we stayed 2 months at Bonita. The time for us to look for a long lease housing for the 2 next years, It was perfect to visit Brekeley, and to find the place we wanted to settle in : finally at cedar very close from Bonita. The apartment was very convienent to downtown Berkeley. We didn't have a car and our way around town was super easy - close to numerous restaurants, stores, the BART and campus. The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated, we love a lot the kitchen, we spent many times to cook with a wonderful view. Our little family had a fabulous time there to begin our new life in California. Thanks for renting this apartment.

Great Location. Excellent for families with young children.

We just spent last week of december and first of january in this great victorian house with our two children. The location is excellent, walking distance to restaurants, BART ( we took it to go to San Francisco several times), supermarket, gym and play grounds in parks for the kids. The house is very well maintain and the owner was very helpful in providing all information I asked for in preparation for our trip. If I were to return to Berkeley, I will stay in this house for sure.

caution

warm in the summer during the day without air conditioning, close to market to walk and car parking is difficult and requires moving at lunch and at other inconvenient times to allow others to park double cars in a very hard to park area. Smaller than standard stairs and not easy to use areas in batchroom for counter space for women needing space for dressing.... sanitary and comfortable for a short stay. CAUTION . NOT for the easily trusting such as the young unprofessional as "tricks" to promise more than able to deliver. Watch out and confirm every detail and follow up daily to prevent possible issues.
