Spacious apartment, great light and location.

We really enjoyed this apartment and found it filled our needs in almost every way. The location was outstanding (near freeways, near great north Oakland/Berkeley neighborhoods). The bedrooms and fold out bed – including the door and privacy curtains in the living room - made for 3 nicely functional bedrooms. The kitchen, laundry room, breakfast nook: all great. Only critique: reading lamps! This made the fold out bedroom especially awkward (thankfully I had my headlamp for reading in bed). But there should be some lamps around both sofas and easy chairs. Otherwise, really great!!

Walkable and welcoming

We enjoyed our stay! The location is great - there are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and stores within easy walking distance. Free street parking can be found nearby but keep in mind the occasional street cleaning day. The neighborhood was also nice to walk around during the day. The building was great and the accommodation comfortable. If you have the windows open expect some street noise which you'd expect from the area.

Rockin’ Good Time in Rockridge

We really enjoyed staying at Chris’s house in Rockridge. The proximity to Berkeley and the BART station was ideal. We liked the layout of the house and the way Chris communicated with us so promptly on several occasions. We do think the house could use a few things: 1. Floor lamps by the couches so guests can read 2. A few more casual chairs and seating for six in the lovely breakfast nook 3. An upgrade for the towels All in all it was a very good experience!

Great Location, clean

Walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Plenty of street parking and allowed our pup to stay with us. Only negative was the wood floors that made it tricky to walk quietly with being on the second level.

The location was great. We felt the furniture could use an upgrade and better arrangement, and a few table lamps in the living area would be nice. The property was as pictured though and we enjoyed our stay :).

Well located duplex in need of a little TLC

Pros: located within close walking distance of shops, restaurants, cafes and public transportation, responsive host, spacious, easy street parking. Cons: sparsely furnished (no floor lamps, only one bedside table), a few minor things were broken, very noisy traffic sounds from street, hardwood floors so lots of noises from the downstairs neighbours well into the night. If you are a light sleeper, be warned despite what the host may say.

Worked well for us

My sister and I stayed at this property for three weeks. The size of our second floor space was excellent and the host was very responsive. We had no problems with our stay of any kind and parked at a nearby street in this nice neighborhood. I wish there had been more lighting in the front two rooms and perhaps a few more comfortable chairs in those rooms as well.

Located in a busy street

The duplex is located on Claremont, which is a four lane busy and noisy road. The first two rooms have a couch and one tv. There are no lamps, just overhead lighting. The two bedrooms are spacious. The owner asked if we wanted parking for $9/day. This consisted of having to move my car four times (in and out of the driveway) in three days and receiving a text at 4:00 am asking me to move it so the downstairs tenant could park her bicycle. There was a side entrance so I wasn’t sure why couldn’t enter there. The door to the upstairs apartment did not close. We were asked to wear slippers so not to disturb renters below. Maybe consider area rugs in the living room areas to help with the squeaks in the floors. Probably wouldn’t rent again. Lots of choices in this area.

Spacious apartment, great location

This Rockridge apartment is large, very comfortable beds, nice kitchen (no dishwasher). Somewhat sparsely furnished with a couch in each room, and two small chairs with one of them, nice kitchen nook and small outdoor deck. In a great area a short walk to a Safeway, coffee shops, good restaurants. An easy exit from the highway. On a major street which in November was quiet, but our windows were shut given the season. Landlord is very responsive. I'd suggest adding the parking in the driveway to your stay (not sure why it isn't included) but it is a narrow driveway. Definitely recommended this listing.

cute place great location

We had a great time here. If you like the Berkeley and Rockridge areas of Oakland (and you should), it's awesome. You can walk to everything you will need or want. You don't need a car, but if you have one, make sure to nail down the parking situation. There is no air conditioning. We were there in March and had mildly warm days that turned into super-hot temps in the upstairs unit. There are fans that help. This would be tough in the summer if you don't like heat. We'd rent here again. Chris is super responsive and easy to work with.
