North Berkeley Home

Location was perfect for us, beds were very comfortable

The collection of photos gives the impression that there is more than 1 lounge/den/living area, when in fact the photos show the same one living room with different furniture. This seems disingenuous. The bbq that I specifically asked about is tiny, dirty and barely useable which was a problem as we were having family over for dinner. We couldnt use it and had to change plans. The kitchen is very basic. The furniture (2 chairs) on the patio off the living room was dirty and I had to clean it before we could even sit on it without getting our clothes dirty. This is clearly a house that needs some refurbishing and a whole lot more upkeep. There is a large bricked outdoor patio with absolutely no furniture or place to sit and enjoy the outdoors. So its essentially unusable which is a shame if one wants to enjoy the Cali sunshine. This feels like a revenue property where the owners are doing the minimum to keep it up. With a little more effort on their part it could be fantastic and worth the large amount of money they are charging.

Excellent location and availability for short term rental

Condition of furniture and overall maintenance. Luxurious is a misnomer

The place was very basic and not cosy at all. There were for example no curtains. In the living room there was only a small couch: we couldn't sit there with 5 people. The seats of the chairs and all the rugs were dirty with stains. There were tears in the sheets on our bed. There were no chairs or table to sit or eat outside. On the other hand: in the kitchen was new and well equipped.
