Joyce's place represents what is best about Airbnb. Although not large, it is very well laid out, comfortable, clean, very private and quiet, and equipped with everything we needed for a month-long stay. Indeed, my wife and I were greatly impressed with how well Joyce anticipated the needs of her guests, including those like us who cook most of our own meals. Although located on a quiet residential street, it is a comfortable walk to a wide assortment of restaurants and stores in the Rockridge section of Oakland and the Elmwood section of Berkeley. As for Joyce, she was very responsive (but not intrusive) as well as extremely friendly. In short, I would highly recommend this place.
