Taryn's place is beautifully decorated, spacious, clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Taryn was very responsive (despite being abroad), which we really appreciated. She even helped procure a yoga mat! The location cannot be beat. It is walking distance to Rockridge main area - BART station, coffee shops, specialty grocery, shopping, etc. It is also walking distance to Temescal and all it has to offer - local restaurants, farmer's market, and Whole Foods. The neighborhood is quaint, safe and quiet.
A note for light sleepers: Taryn's unit is on the first floor of an old home and on the second floor is another unit. The tenant upstairs frequently walks around every few hours throughout the night. We could hear a lot. We were unable to sleep a full night through during our week-long stay because of this. I happen to be a light sleeper, so might not be an issue for all, but good to know.
