Coming here - is like coming home - if my home were a bit more organised. The apartment is very comfortable, newly refurbished. I really liked the details including bedside lamps with USB charging ports. The addition of separate workstation and chair in them main room was perfect making it comfortable to work from here as well (which I did taking advantage of the high speed internet). The location is fantastic - 2 minutes away from Bart, great restaurants everywhere along with interesting shops and 5 minutes away from Trader Joes. You can cook or eat out everyday with no trouble - this may not be Berkeley's gourmet ghetto - but the neighbourhood definitely holds it's own. This place is great for people who don't want to use a car - multiple easy transport options (including being directly on the BART line to SFO).
Best of all are the hosts who are very responsive and will do their best to sort out any issues. The kindness I received while staying here will be long remembered.
