Happy in Emeryville

My adult son and I enjoyed our stay. There was lots of space for the money. Living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Also, the hostess was very nice.

Comfortable and homey

I needed a place that was convenient to friends in Berkley and Oakland. Bus was easy and convenient. It was also a place where I could get some work done. Quiet and well appointed. Amber is also excellent host.

Exactly what we needed

Nice, homey stay. We were visiting to attend a family member’s 60th in Oakland. The property was comfortable and quiet. We were able to reach Amber quickly when we needed to check on something with her. We will stay here again when we visit the area again.

Great for the price in the Bay Area

Good location, but not that well stocked (e.g. no coffee maker). Needs a good deep cleaning.

Very tidy home - convenient location.

Nice older home in a quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and shops were in close walking distance, and the Doyle street bike and pedestrian path is just a few blocks away. The house is well maintained and the host was friendly and available if needed.

Great little getaway

I mainly picked this property for the bathtub. It was a very relaxing spot and soaking in the tub was perfect. Bubble bath and bath salts were considerately provided. The sounds through the walls were noticeable but not disruptive.

Lovely and comfortable place to stay

Clean, well decorated, nice location, great communication. Minor note; could use some noise cancellation in the kitchen. There's a locked door that I am guessing leads to a stairway that connects the apartment to the lower floor where the owner stays. It's a bit loud at times (tv noise), but this issue doesn't really extend past the kitchen. Could probably hang a moving blanket over it and defeat that issue pretty easily.

Not the best not the worst

When we arrived the property was ready for us. We went in and found that four rooms were locked, which is fine. But as the stay went on, one of the rooms that was locked we realized someone was in that room. They coughed a lot and the TV was pretty loud. Occasionally would hear them talking loudly as well. When someone cooked , the smell of the cooking came i to the house we were staying in. The kitchen didn’t have a lot of items to use and it felt pretty dirty. Cabinet doors were greasy. The bed was soft and comfortable and it was nice to use the bath. Struggled to find parking everytime we came back. The house is old but a cute property
