The house and room are exactly as described. Erika is a charming and interesting host, and her recommendations were spot-on. South Berkeley is a vibrant neighborhood, filled with restaurants of every kind. VERY short walk to BART and to other public transportation. If you want someplace with all of the amenities of a Holiday Inn, then you should stay in a Holiday Inn. If you want a more authentic South Berkeley experience, this is it! Thanks, Erika! I had a great time.
