If you want a cozy spot on a residential street just a block away from Telegraph Avenue in Temescal, this is a fine choice. It was very clean and quiet during our stay. The location is great for easy walking to really good restaurants, including our personal favorite, Aunt Mary's Cafe, as well as a Whole Foods market. There is a BART station close by. It is also a quick drive to Rockridge with more great restaurants and shopping and it's convenient to CA 24.
This small home was perfect for us as a couple. The living/dining area was nice and the kitchen was well-stocked, although a microwave would have been a useful addition. The bed was very comfortable and it was a luxury having two full bathrooms. There was a lovely fenced backyard as well.
The wifi was great. While there was a Chromecast-enabled projector, there was no traditional television. There were plenty of books and even a turntable and vinyl records. If you bring a car, free parking on the street is commonly available, but be aware of the street cleaning signs for parking restrictions on certain mornings.
This is the owner's home, so there are personal touches as well as belongings throughout the house. Space for storing clothes was fairly limited so we had to make use of our suitcases, but that was not a major problem.
Adam was exceptionally good at communication. He was very responsive and accommodating. He provided a thorough written guide to the home and offered tips about the neighborhood. He set a four-digit code of our choice for the keyless entry which had an integrated alarm system. He checked in with us via text to make sure we had everything we needed and were satisfied with the property.
