I had a great time staying at Faith's place! Her house is in a peaceful, quiet, and walkable neighborhood (Berkeley Bowl is just around the corner) and is only a 15-minute bike ride to the UCB campus. Her other guests are quiet and friendly. The kitchen is well-furnished. It was mostly clean. It can be a bit cold in the winter, but Faith has portable heaters available.
I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Berkeley or to visiting scholars at UCB.
