The place of Dan and Traci is great. They offer anything to help: They gave us bikes, bike-helmets, towels, soap, shampoo, mugs, plates, spoons... and the dish-washer. We could use the washing machine and the dryer, so it was amazing to stay there. They even provided us with extra storage for our luggage. The place has a veranda and small garden where you can sit outside for your meals.
You'll have your personal microwave and a personal coffee machine that never runs out of coffee, because Dan is refilling it regularly. Traci is a chef, so often times she works downstairs. Don't expect to use her kitchen: The kitchenette is more that enough to prepare your own meals, with a grill and a stove top. Be aware that you might have to coordinate yourselves with the other guests about the Kitchenette, but actually none of the other guests wanted to cook, so we had it all to ourselves.
We had the Treetop Room, one of three AirBnB's in the upper part of the house. For two persons it's great for a weekend, but a little small if you are staying longer than a that. We stayed 3 weeks and that worked very well for us, since the Treetop Room is actually three small rooms: We had our meals in the semi-private living room that is dedicated to you but sometimes people have to pass through it. The living room connects your private bedroom and private baths. We always felt private and safe.
The location is really great. Just on the border between Berkeley and Oakland, you can walk to several cafes, restaurants, supermarkets (Trader Joe's!), grocery stores, book shops, cinemas - everything within 7 minutes by foot. The University is a 30 minutes walk, and there are several bus lines bringing you in no-time to all central places. Even the metro station (BART) is close.
Traci and Dan, thank you for providing this gem to your guests.
We'd come back anytime.
