Attended a concert in Berkeley, and needed a place to get ready and crash afterwards-Peggy's place was perfect for that! Bed/sheets/linens were super comfortable, bathroom was clean and modern, tastefully decorated, and the unit was fragrance free as stated.
I wouldn't say that I felt "welcome", per se, as I wanted to be sure that I didn't break one of the rental rules that I agreed to when booking - by nature, I am a clean, respectful, and thoughtful guest, but even so I was worried I would slip up, as other reviews have mentioned happening . Clearly this is a personal experience, and varies from guest to guest, so it's not an issue that should affect the hosts rating overall (or even something that requires notifying the host). Something to note - as quiet and respectful as you are asked to be, the noise from the main house does carry into the
bedroom. Honestly, this would never be a big deal for me, except that I did spend more time monitoring my own noise/behavior than it seems others did. It wasn't at all loud, and didn't interrupt me, but was frustrating given that I was being hyper vigilant and policing my own behavior as a guest.
As you are asked to take your trash with you, it would be helpful to provide a receptacle outside or similar location to dispose of it. As it was, I took my trash with me in my car, and threw it out at Target. Made me feel like I was backpacking, not airbnb-ing.
Peggy's rules are non-negotiable, but as long as you are a good community member and guest, you shouldn't have difficulty adhering to them.
