We love the Rockridge area because our children live very close by, so Ed's little apt. was perfect for our stay. The rooms are cheerful and bright (even though it is a basement apt.), and Ed leaves plenty of amentities to get you through your morning coffee and breakfast.

We never really unpacked, our stay was just 2 nights, but there was plenty of drawer and closet space should our stay be longer next time. We had the use of the driveway, which can sometimes be crucial in Rockridge. We love that the apt. is within walking distance of Market Hall, and Trader Joe's.

Also for a small space, the separation of bedroom and living space was important to us....it is so nice to be able to have some separate space to read, eat, and sleep. The kitchen is also great because it has a real stove (some other spaces in the neighborhood have only "hotplates"), and plenty of food storage space should you need it for longer stays. Also the washer/dryer is a big plus should you need to do laundry.
We loved the yard in the back; we didn't have time on this trip to enjoy it, but the table and chairs are lovely in the small back garden!!

Ed's full disclosure about noise from upstairs is very thoughtful, but it isn't anything to worry about at all. It's nice to know someone else is in the house!

We are eager to stay at this "lovely gem" again as we make many trips from Boston to the Bay Area to see our grandchildren! It's affordable and convenient, and very very nice!
Thanks, Ed
