PROS: Location is PERFECT, right in the heart of Rockridge. Could not be better situated -- just steps away from the front door are fantastic coffee shops, local restaurants, and the BART. The apartment itself is spacious and check-in is a breeze. Kitchen has a large fridge/freezer and all the appliances you'd need for a short stay. WiFi was reliable and fast, and hosts were extremely communicative.
CONS: As many other reviewers have said, the building is old and the bathroom is VERY small and dated. The shower takes at least 10 minutes to warm up (seriously, plan on this - at least 10 minutes), and the pressure is as bad as everyone warned. I am not picky and am only 5'0 feet tall, but it was tight and annoying even for me. Unlike the photos, the apt does not get very much light. Also, no TV and only one set of keys provided, which was inconvenient since my husband and I were on separate schedules and needed to get in and out at different times. (Note that there were key boxes outside the door of the apt, so there may be a workaround for this. We weren't provided the code and didn't inquire since we were able to coordinate and make it work, but it might be worth checking into if you will be in a similar position and flexibility is important to you.)
Overall, great location in an awesome neighborhood. If you're okay with the cons listed above, then this place is a solid bet.
