We were in Berkeley for a family memorial and Liz's place was perfect for our needs. We chose it, in part, because it is located in the neighborhood where my husband grew up. He not only was able to visit his childhood home, he ran into many friends while walking around the area so reconnected in some unexpected ways. There were many events that we had to attend and the apt was a perfect place to return to,to relax and prepare for the next activity. We were fortunate in our weather and spent afternoons relaxing on the deck with a book. The view is tremendous. The beds were extremely comfortable. The stairs from the street to the apartment were challenging for us as our son has mobility issues - we found them doable with care but I would not recommend for most if they have any mobility problems. Liz was extremely warm and friendly but left us our privacy. Most of our conversations occurred on the way to/from our car. We definitely plan to stay again should the circumstance arise.
