My family stayed at this rental while our house was being renovated. We loved the backyard as it's fully enclosed and there are many fruit trees/bushes back there. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is raised off the street (12 stairs or so to the front door) so no one can see in if you have the front blinds open which is nice. The house itself is older and eclectic with recent upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms but the best thing is the location, nothing beats it. Everything is walkable in the neighborhood - restaurants for take out, coffee, wine shops, ice cream and Piedmont Grocery are at your fingertips.
As the renter you're responsible for PG&E charges -- owner Heidi calls PG&E and gets the charges for your stay. The evenings were cold (low 40s) and we ran the heater quite a bit since we have a 10 mo old. The house also isn't well insulated since it's older so we incurred a $211 additional cost for our stay. Heidi's partner Jim came by intermittently to do work around the exterior of the house and he was accommodating to our daughters nap schedule. The driveway itself is narrow and steep though you can fit 2 cars in which is great as street parking is lettered and timed to 2 hours if you don't have a letter and there are street sweeping hours you need to pay attention to. We also found the house quite dusty likely from the recent renovation work.
While there are some call outs I noted above about the house Heidi and Jim were great owners to work with - super friendly, accommodating, fast responses and great communication -- they also live very close by so if you need anything they are only a few minutes away. And again, you can't beat the location as the neighborhood is very walkable.
