Erika is a terrific host--warm, welcoming and very quick to communicate. She was wonderfully helpful to us. The house is bright and sunny with skylights. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. The beds and bedding were extremely comfortable and cozy. A large deck with hammock and chairs was a nice surprise. The location is amazing--3 minutes from downtown Berkeley and 1 minute up the hill to amazing views of the Bay Area and fantastic hikes. We will definitely return on a future visit!
