I stayed at Becky's place during my 3-week stint at UC Berkeley. The location is ideal in many ways- only a 5-7 minute walk from a bunch of nice restaurants in Temescal, and a block or two away from bus stops that take you right to the heart of UC Berkeley. The place is located in a nice residential neighborhood, and is quiet and comfortable; the place being very well stocked up on supplies also helped. I especially liked that there is a Bay Wheels stop a couple of blocks away that enabled easy access to bike rides. Becky went well above what was promised when I made the reservation, and had great suggestions on matters ranging from grocery stores to transportation options to recreational facilities. All in all, I would highly recommend the place to anyone looking to stay in the Temescal/North Oakland/Berkeley area, especially if you're planning on visiting UC Berkeley.
