Nice views in upper Rockridge.
This is a wonderful location to access Oakland, Marin, and San Francisco. The neighborhood is wonderful with many views from the property and walking through the neighborhood. Warren is so easy to reach and is very responsive to any questions you might have. The cute little town of Rockridge is only a 20 minute walk away, and of course very accessible by car. So many great independent stores and wonderful restaurant scene.

My stay at Upper Rockridge vrbo
The host was a great host. The apartment is a great apartment and in a nice location close to restaurants, grocery stores, and highways, and most important my brothers house that I was cleaning out. The only thing was the 28 steps to go up and down from the apartment to the street, they gave me a workout, but that was okay. Thanks for making my stay a pleasure. Evan

Great Location in Upper Rockridge
We really liked this place, though it wouldn't be for everyone. For us, the plusses greatly outweighed the negatives. Those relatively minor negatives would be the 30 steps down from the street; no dishwasher; no A/C (usually not needed). The plusses: fabulous views; great neighborhood for walking and very convenient for getting around; excellent outdoor space; very responsive, accommodating host.

Great location, property & host but some drawbacks
This VRBO has great potential but missed the mark for us in a few ways, which ultimately prevented us from being able to give more than 3 stars: 1. Ant infestation in the kitchen area which was spotted on day 1 without any food being present (ants were also later spotted in the bedrooms) 2. Only 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth was provided for a 5 day stay for 4 people; 3. No washer or dryer in unit (a massive drawback for any longer term stay such as ours) Host was great and had no issues whatsoever with communication.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jun 2022
Sorry to hear you didn’t fully enjoyed your stay, especially about the “no washer and dryer” as its clearly stated on VROB’s website this item was not included. Housekeeping sometimes forget to replace essential items such as towels, that’s a reason I personally emailed you after your first night here to make sure everything is in order and unfortunately you didn’t reply or addressed the towel or other issues including washer and dryer even after we communicated so many times. Thanks for being so kind while you were here, you are definitely a two 👍👍 thumbs up guest.

Great Suite in Rockridge Hills!
This is a great garden suite in the hills of Rockridge! The unit is spacious and comfortable, and well-appointed for the stay. The outdoor space is lovely, and as many other reviews indicate, the view is incredible. The only possible area of improvement that I can think of is the fact that we did see a few ants, but we were careful to seal up and not leave out any food, so it wasn't really an issue. Warren was a communicative and helpful host, so if you're in the area, this a great place to stay!

Perfect stay, even in pouring rain!
Warren's property is just fantastic. The view is truly incredible, and the size/space of the unit is more than worth the cost. For our 18 month old son, there was plenty of space for him to run around, plenty of things for him to see in the garden, that even when it rained we didn't feel cramped. The main bedroom even has two small laundry/linen walk-in closets, one of which we used for my son's travel crib. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Looking forward to our next visit!

Just what we wanted!
5 star review for 5 star place. A friend and I rented "Million Dollar View" for a long weekend to attend a wedding. The house was exactly what we had hoped for! Ideal location (all wedding activities occurred within a 5 mile radius), very clean and spacious quarters (every room was large!), stunning views (accurately called million dollar view), and a luxurious patio to enjoy the perfect weather. We had excellent and timely communications with Warren. Thank you for helping make the wedding weekend such a success!

Great space in a great location
We had an excellent stay in this wonderful "garden suite". The pictures and description are right on, and as others have said, Warren is an outstanding host. The 2 bedrooms were perfect for our family of 4, and the location can't be beat. Beautiful neighborhood, spectacular views, and close to everything (we went to SF, Oakland, Berkeley, Orinda, Walnut Creek - all easy). The only minor things to note were a slight smell of stale cigarette smoke (opening windows solved the problem most days), and it would have been ideal to have a washer/dryer and a dishwasher in the unit, but we knew about the appliances going in, so no surprises there. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

Amazing view in beautiful neighborhood
I met my daughter and her fiancé here for a long weekend. The view was amazing - you can see the San Francisco skyline and multiple bridges. It was the perfect size for the 3 of us and the garden was a nice surprise. The stairs are a bit of a hike with luggage but I figured I burned id the calories from the great meals we had in the area. It was a really pretty and safe neighborhood and easy to park. Would definitely stay here again.

Breathtaking Bay and garden views.
Absolutely lovely property with a wonderful garden. The sweeping views of the bay from the patio, master bedroom and living room were magical. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was functional. The two small fridges and separate freezer provided plenty of space for items. The surrounding neighborhood was lovely and very quiet but just a few minutes to Rock Ridge amenties or the Cal campus.

Warren's apartment has possibly the best views in the east bay. Combined with beautiful landscaping and a tranquil setting, this is an ideal spot to retreat to after squaring off with the rat race that is now the greater bay area. The apartment is private and well-appointed, and Warren is a very responsive, accommodating and kind host. Highly recommended and would absolutely book again.
