Lolo's place is a very good bargain. The apartment is located in a lovely neighbourhood that is both aesthetic and safe. It is quite close to highway 24 (which connects easily to all the x80 highways of the Bay Area), and not far from UCBerkeley campus (35 minutes from Sproul Plaza by foot, a mere $7 with Uber). It is also a few minutes away by foot from Telegraph Ave and College Ave, with many opportunities for dining and shopping.
The apartment itself is very spacious, and nicely decorated. We were 4 people, and felt very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped; if you care to, you can do serious cooking there. Washer, drier and iron were very useful. The place was very clean, which was a delight. The lock has code, not key, which was very convenient. Very easy parking (but notice street cleaning day).
Although Lolo and her family live in the house just above the appt., we never met any of them. Nevertheless, Lolo was very prompt in answering messages, and provided us with all the necessary information via texting.
Zero tolerance for smoking; if you're a smoker, look for another place.
