Judy’s home is in an outstanding location. Easily walkable to Piedmont Ave. shops and restaurants, and easily walkable to College Ave. for the shops and restaurants in Rockridge. Also an easy walk to TWO Blue Bottle Coffees. It’s a charming Craftsman home. We stayed for two months so we learned more about the quirks of the house that most would on a shorter stay. There is an apartment below that is rented out as well, so sometimes one of us would be taking a nice hot shower and then suddenly have the water turn cold. I can only guess that is because of the tenants below. The dishwasher is one that you hook up to the kitchen sink. We did need to use an extension cord to actually have the plug reach the GFI plug which is on the opposite side of the kitchen from the sink. You also don’t want to take a shower while the dishwasher is running, or if you or the downstairs neighbor are doing laundry. There were also a few power surges when the power went out a few times, but I think that was for the whole neighborhood, and it quickly came back on.
The house is clean, the location is great, and if you can deal with a few quirks of an older home that hasn’t had a lot of updates, then I can recommend it. The old Wedgewood stove works well. And I successfully baked a lot of banana bread in it.
