Amy and her guest hosts Adonis and Eddy were all really great, we even sat out and made smores by the fire one night! The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful. The location is so perfect for going for long walks, taking bart to the city, walking to the grocery store, and going out to eat and for ice cream (i went to smitten ice cream 3 times in our 10 day stay). My husband and I are exploring different areas to live in the bay area and Rockridge is definitely at the top of the list! We had our dog, Gia, with us and she got along famously with Amy's dog Luka. The room would be really great as a base for a bay area vacation. The bathroom is small and the kitchenette is very basic, just a sink, mini fridge, and microwave, so cooking isn't really possible. Luckily trader joe's is a 5 minute walk so we feasted on heat-and-eat meals and salads all week. One thing to note is that this is a garden level (basement) apartment so the ceilings are low and there are some spiders but I didn't see anything I wasn't afraid to kill and I'm afraid of everything. Note about parking: most of the parking is 2 hour max without a permit but we were able to find a section of parking across the street that was unrestricted and there was always a spot available.
