Fantastic property and great location

The place is great and very well set up for a large group. The location is very convenient right by Charley Young beach in the heart of Kihei. The host is very welcoming and communicates well.

Nice place in the right location

A nice place that matched the listing details (except there is no on-property parking available), which was clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host regarding logistics around access due to a heavy storm the day before we arrived.

Berkeley on a Budget

The San Pablo house is on a busy industrial block and guests should be comfortable with added security measures. Home is clean with R/O in kitchen. Bathroom shower curtain rod needs attention.

Charming little house in Berkeley

The location of this little home was well positioned to walk to the BART station, explore the little surrounding neighborhood (with some hidden gems for food), and a short drive to downtown and campus. It was a bit tricky to get into the property and the description of how to get in was a little confusing. The inside of the home was cute, clean, and comfortable (though one of the beds had a very firm mattress and the support was a bit rickety). I wish the outside had been a bit tidier and more user friendly because it has a nice courtyard, but a lot of forgotten stuff back there and weeds growing. Overall it was a very convenient, comfortable, and affordable place to stay while enjoying Berkeley!

Fantastic 2 Bedroom

This property was perfect for 3 of us. It was in a safe area with plenty of food close by. It was a good base for our trip that included San Francisco, Oakland, and Monterey. The back yard was a nice area to go sit in the evenings and enjoy the weather.

Hard to get in

When we arrived there were three locks to negotiate and one didn't work. We finally got in touch with the owner and he advised us how to break in. After that the property was fine and worked well for us. But property owner should simplify access.

Home in Berkeley

House was great!! Location was also good. The neighborhood was a little sketchy at night, but not terrible. The outside fence was a pain bc there wasn’t much room between the fence and door so they hit each other every time entering, but that’s was just a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was really good and we’d stay here again!!

Perfect Place

Fun little place. Adequate parking in a place known for having slim options. Near many great places to eat for all meal times. Clean interior. Very nice back yard area with plenty of seating. A great option if you want to be near San Fransisco, but not stuck in San Francisco traffic.

Clean, large house in commercial neighborhood

House was great, very clean. Located on a busy street with lots of businesses like car repair shops. Took off a star because the driveway gate would not lock. Be advised that if you open the driveway window in the bedroom furthest away from the street that an alarm may go off.

Nice Stay

Not exactly what we were expecting but a very clean and pleasant place. Picture of the house is from the rear and front of house is different with graffiti on fence. 2nd bathroom is in the downstairs front area of the house but is nice. Phat was helpful and very available for any questions or issues.

About the host

Hosted by Phat Nguyen

Host profile image
I am a medical doctor who has travelled extensively around the world and I would love to host guests who come to visit the San Francisco Bay Area who want to stay in Berkeley.

Why they chose this property

I like Berkeley because of it's the home of the world-renowned University of California at Berkeley. There are swimming pools and gyms at the University that guests can use by buying day passes. Berkeley is famous for its food scene with many excellent restaurants., particularly Chez Panisse where California cuisine was born Berkeley also has a university-town atmosphere with many bookstores, coffee shops, and really smart students.

What makes this property unique

- Close to freeways that take you to Napa Valley for wine tasting or downtown San Francisco which can also be reached easily by public transportation (BART)
- Walkable to famous coffee shops and unique stores in Berkeley.
