The neighborhood and home was truly upscale. It was well appointed and the views were just as described - fantastic. We were within a short driving distance to great restaurants and shops, as well as the UC Berkeley campus. Given there were two couples, we shared the bedroom use, two nights each. The sofa bed in the living room was not as comfortable as one would have liked. Also, it would have been nice to have had more counter space for the food area which consisted of a small refrigerator and microwave. We managed however as we ate out most of our stay. From the small balcony off the bedroom we could see Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco - including parts of the Golden Gate bridge. I must say that the drive up into the hills getting to the house is not for the faint of heart. The twists and turns and steep grades would serve as a snack for a Porche (lol). With that being said it was more than worth it once you got there.The neighbors that we encountered during our stay were all very pleasant and engaging, including Laura, who lived downstairs in the main portion of the house. Chris, we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a luxurious environment and enjoys great vistas.
