I had a fantastic stay of over two months - it's a great spot for a UC Berkeley visiting scholar. The studio is beautifully decorated, everything high standard and convenient, also the details (e.g., plugs everywhere - spacious, stylish, all new bathroom - dependable and fast WiFi). Temescal area with all its shops and eateries is within walking distance, and there is also a rental bike station around the corner. Last but not least, Izzy is an amazing host: helpful, funny, having plenty of tips and advice if needed, superquick to respond; and as the curious foreigner, I enjoyed exchanging anecdotes about US/European culture! Her lovely dog Lucky even endears non-dog persons such as me. Absolutely top and highly recommended, would stay there again.
