Elsie was great. Met us when promised and toured the unit with us and went over the all-make-sense house rules and features. The unit itself, touted as having a great SF Bay view, certainly lived up to expectations.

The only caution flag we could mention is that the City of Berkeley should certainly invest in its infrastructure; the main roadway accessing the unit is in poor condition. Not the property's responsibility of course.

We had a couple of minor issues with the unit (needed a parking permit as we had 2 cars and 1 had to stay on the public street and a closet door that needed repair) and Elsie sorted those out with zero hassle.

As to the area around the house; the best of two worlds for my wife and I in that you can walk out the front door to a linked series of ridge-top regional parks and you can also readily get into the heart of Berkeley/Oakland and surrounding areas for a wide variety of restaurants, shops and activities.

Would definitely return.
