Amy's Airbnb was a great treat for us as we had stayed in Berkeley before, but never the Rockridge area. Amy was a great host who had all the essential amenities, as well as some nice chocolate for us on arrival. The location of this Airbnb is what made it work so well for us. There are great cafe's and restaurants all with in walking distance, and we were able to pick up other snacks at trader joe's a block or so away. The BART station is right up the street and opens a whole other level of city accessibility. We had a car for exploring and always found parking out front of the house, but again your feet and the BART seem the best way to get around.
