First the positives: seems to be a good location in a good neighborhood, plenty of parking, and lots of good food nearby. Walkable/bikeable to campus and much of Berkeley.
Now the negatives. The room looks just like the photos, but the rest of the house does not. It is a mess, clutter everywhere, not a pleasant place to hang out. The room smells like cat pee and cigarettes (it's bad), the bathroom is not clean, and the shower is disgusting. The house is very old and run down.
Considering this place is almost expensive as a hotel room, you are definitely better off getting a hotel room if you can. Maybe this is par for the course for Berkeley? This review would probably go up to 3 stars if the price was cut in half. But for this price the room is completely unacceptable. Would not recommend.
