The neighborhood is fine. Quiet and safe. The rental unit is comparable to a Motel 6. There were ants in the place. There were no blinds in the rooms with exposed windows that required us to buy some paper to cover up the windows. The bathroom was updated and had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. But the bunk beds were uncomfortable and the frames had more squeaking and shaking than expected. The towels were comparable to what you would get with a Motel 6. The trash bins on the outside were almost full and looked like they haven't been emptied in at least a couple of weeks. For the price of the rental, it's okay if you are on a tight budget and need a place to crash with some buddies. If you are a family and want something more user friendly, I would not recommend this place.

Nightmare check; no WIFI; decent place

Booked this when my original VRBO got cancelled. The property manager’s communication was not good. Nightmare checking in. There is a lock box on the side of the house. There is no mention of this with the checkin instructions. It was dark and cold when I arrived. Thank god for phone flashlights and a previous renter’s review that helped me know to look there. I called VRBO and they provided me with 2 other phone numbers that did not work. I am getting ready to check out and still have not been contacted. The place is clean. Tiny fridge. No window coverings, no internet/ WiFi. Quiet neighborhood. A small market nearby. 20 min walk to BART/ Downtown Berkeley. Not quite what I hoped on a visit to see my daughter. I would not come back. .

Good location, good space - needs lots of improvements

My family stayed here for a Berkeley graduation. The size and location of the house are good but, we had so many issues. Check in process 2/5 - The instructions were sent to me 4 hours before check in. The check in instructions said "enter code XXXX". The lock was a regular lock. I had to look for a lockbox around the house. Cleanliness 3/5 - The sofas had hair and dirt on them, windows and lamps were dusty. The bathroom and kitchen were clean though. Supplies available 2/5 - There were no towels or extra blankets. The pillows did not have covers. This place cannot sleep 8 people, only 6. There is a queen size bed and a queen size bunk bed - screws were super loose. There was no internet. The front yard is a mess with overgrown weeds. The floor thing that separates the bathroom from the hallway fell off. There is a rug in the room with one bed that is lifted and can't be flattened. The floor in the kitchen next to the dining tabled is lifting. It was very dark at night. I had to leave the front light on the house. For safety, they should have a sensor light at the entrance. The toilet tank was leaking. They had a ridiculous miniature fridge. Decor arund the house is broken and tacky. The lamps in the house don't work. I hope this management company gets their act together. The good thing about this place is the location and size. The neighborhood is quiet, there is plenty of parking. It's located near retail and UC Berkeley.
