The hosts were the right mix of personable and efficient. I did not personally interact since I got in quite late on a weekday, but had easy access, strategic communication, and helpful logistics and suggestions to have a good time in Berkeley and the Bay Area in general. The space is as charming and it looks, and served my function of the 3 nights of sleep and one nap I used it for (was out almost the entire time). The most important thing other than that is that this spot is very accessible, as its only 10 min from the Ashby station on BART. I would definitely stay there again on my next trip, and will recommend to personal friends.

Beautiful little cottage is small but very cute and clean and has everything you need to feel right at home. I would definitely stay again. Location is also great--close to Telegraph and the university and a block from a great supermarket. Loved receiving a bottle of wine as well!

Since I have stayed here previously I knew what to expect and i was not disappointed. It's always a busy place but is soo very peaceful when you arrive. A warm, inviting environment. Clean, quiet with a very pretty garden. the perfect antidote for a very busy day.

We never met the hosts in person, but their agent was pleasant.

The efficient and cute studio was perfect for our brief stop in Berkeley. A quick walk to Whole Foods for some tasty snacks was all we needed. Bed was comfy, but be prepared for not a lot of extra room. Very easy to retrieve keys and access to the cottage. The grounds around the cottage could use landscaping attention unless you like local weeds :) The complimentary WIFI works but seems to be shared by many - thus not strong enough for Netflix type applications. Bathroom fixtures and rugs in the room could use an update. But all in all, a good stay.

The cottage was wonderful. Easy check in and had a great nights sleep. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice setup. Easy access, parking not an issue. Very hospitable hosts.

Beautiful garden, clean space and super convenient location. Very tiny, so best if you literally just need a place to sleep while you enjoy the city.

ケビンは親切で、部屋の使い方だけでなく観光地へのアクセスなども紹介してくれます。日本人がまだ数人しか滞在したことがないので、もっと日本人に来て欲しいって言っていました。日本からサンフランシスコに観光するチャンスがあれば、ぜひ泊まってみてください!

ルールがしっかりしている分、とても住みやすいと感じました。ケビンはとても親しみやすく。家の使い方やサンフランシスコの観光スポットなど最初にざっと説明してくれるので、宿泊だけでなく旅行の観点からも素晴らしいと感じます。 I feel it's really comfortable to stay because there is a solid rule. Kevin, an owner of this house, is very kind and friendly. At first, he explains the rules to stay better and the nice sightseeing spot in San Francisco! So I highly recommend to stay there. Thank you Kevin!

Good location. Excellent information in advance and when we were there from our host Kevin and we enjoyed meeting some other guests. The fact that Kevin provides basic foodstuffs for breakfast is especially helpful if one has just arrived from afar.

Kevin was great! My mom and I weren't able to arrive until really late that night and he was still so accommodating and kind. The next day he gave us a ton of great tips on things to do in the city. The house was clean and there was food for us to cook breakfast the next day. I definitely recommend him and his home for your next stay in the Bay Area.

Had a great stay at Kevin's place. Fantastic woodsy suburban location but with incredibly convenient connections to the city through public transportation. Very comfortable, clean lodgings and Kevin was so helpful and accommodating. He gave us great detailed descriptions of options for various attractions, getting around the city, and great local eateries too. Very nice vibe in the place with other guests as well. Such a great value for the money, would definitely come back again.

Kevin is a stunning host. He gave us very detailed instructions on email [which I should have read more but in the rush could not :)] and showed us the place patiently when we check in. The room was very comfortable and if you are driving and need to get around the bay area, extremely convenient. Even otherwise the Muni is not far away. He is very knowledgeable on the city and the startup scene. We really enjoyed chatting with him.

Kevin的家十分干净整洁而且晚上很安静,还准备了很多食品供我们享用。我们住了一个晚上都觉得很舒服,在他们家的客厅办公十分舒适,傍晚去附近散步景色很美也很惬意。Kevin总是很快回复我的问题,帮我们介绍了他们家的设施,还很热心讲解当地的情况,告诉我们最佳交通方式。我向大家推荐Kevin的家,下次去San Francisco 我还会选在Kevin的家!

Nosotros nos quedamos en la casa de Kevin por tres dias. Es la primera vez en Airbnb que rentamos un cuarto que no era completamente privado.... Y honestamente no podemos quejarnos. Kevin fue amigable desde que llegamos y estuvo pendiente de nuestra llegada. La comunicación con el fue excelente y aunque la casa no esta en el corazon de San Francisco... Kevin nos ayudo mucho explicandonos los diferentes barrios y como llegar a ellos. Otra cosa que tenemos que mencionar es que la cocina esta abierta para los huespedes... Asi que puedes desayunar o preparar comida sin algun costo adicional. Por lo tanto recomendamos este lugar al 100!!! Nos gusto mucho :)

はじめての、airbnbを使っての予約でドキドキでしたが、あたたかいhostの方々で安心できました! 鍵の使い方が分からず、困っていたときも、やり方を丁寧に教えてくれました。 また、部屋はルーフトップの場所で完全個室ではないのですが、ゆったりできる雰囲気でよかったです。 また、夜帰りが遅かったりもしてしまったのですが、他のおうちであるようなquiet timeやhouse ruleもなく、自由なかんじでした。 わたしはタイミングがあって、朝ごはんと晩御飯に招待されてご馳走になりました。 ご近所さんがお菓子を作りはって、それよいただきました。 ベットも広くて、柔らかくて、好きでした。

I had a wonderful time staying with Ash & Ken. This was my first Airbnb experience, & it couldn't have been better. Every morning, Ken would make us a super delicious breakfast, & maybe due to coincidence, I loved all the guests! They were so nice, they have invited me to two dinners (one was a birthday party for close friends) and introduced me to many of their friends. One of the best treats was Paul the black lab greeting me every morning :) I'm sure he won't if you don't want him to, but it made my stay! If all Airbnb experiences are like that then it doesn't get any better! Stay with Ash & Ken.

This is a very welcoming and considerate environment. Also a beautiful home with a great energy about it, I felt right at home. The location is totally accessible and I would totally recommend staying here!

Was very worried of what to expect trying something like Air Bnb, which for me is extremely new, and very progressive.... All I can say is I am very thankful I chose Ashish as my very 1st host! The room was exactly what I wanted and more. So clean and cozy... I was here for work, so I didn't have much time to enjoy all the wonderful amenities which were available to me. He answered every question I had, and very promptly... Will most certainly stay again and I highly recommend!!

Ash and Ken were amazing hosts and have a beautiful apartment located in the Castro area. They not only suggested places to visit, but the also cooked lovely breakfasts (and a dinner) for me. If I were to come back to SF, I would definitely stay there again.

Ash and ken are adorable!. Nice house, amazing view, internet WiFi very fast, polite people are all the ingredients for an excellent experience for my first time in Airb&b! I suggest this house absolutely!

Staying at Ashish's place provided for a wonderful stay and first-time visit to San Francisco. His home is gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. I immediately felt welcome and at home upon arrival. Making the arrangements and checking in were incredibly easy. Even though Ashish was traveling during my stay, he was still very responsive and had a friend available to answer any questions in his absence. However, his roommates were also incredibly warm and welcoming and helped me by providing many suggestions and helping me to navigate the city. Though I didn't spend too much time in the house during the day, waking up to the sunset over the San Francisco skyline every morning was an amazing way to start each day. The space was also a great area to come back to and relax for a bit whenever I needed a break and to recharge. I also appreciated being able to have full use of the kitchen and laundry during my stay. In terms of location, I don't think you can beat this. The home is centrally located to some of San Francisco's best neighborhoods, and getting downtown is super easy on the Muni just down the street. I would definitely stay here again!

Loved my stay! The location can't be beat and the house is beautiful. I was shocked at how comfortable the futon was and it was a real treat to lie down and look out at the great view of the city. Ken and Ash are so warm and welcoming and tell wonderful, funny stories. The breakfasts were delicious and I had a great time chatting with other guests staying at the house. This will definitely be my go-to place when I'm back in San Francisco!

I stayed Kevin's house just one day. He was so kind, so I could know about the places of San Francisco very well. Also the room was comfortable. とても親切にしてくださいました。部屋も快適で過ごしやすかったです。サンフランシスコの名所についてなど詳しく教えて下さり、より充実した旅行になりました。

We enjoyed our stay with Kevin a lot. The room was colorful and clean. The beds were really comfy and we had a few nights of good sleep after long days exploring San Francisco. It was the first Airbnb experience for my mom and she liked it, especially meeting other travelers for breakfast on the patio. Thank you Kevin we'll be back!

Kevin is so nice. He recommended many good places to us and told us how to take the transportation. We had a sunny and peace breakfast using the food provided by Kevin. Hope we can stay longer next time. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Kevin is by far the most organized and coolest host I've wet had experience with. He made my girlfriend and I feel very comfortable from the start. He was very informative and detailed. Place was in emasculate condition, just as advertised. The back patio has one of the best views in the city. The master bedroom was very spacious and set up perfectly. It makes sense why so man people from all over the world book here. Kevin just attracts good energy. I wish we could have stayed sooner. Thank you Kevin. From Kai and Amy.

This house is in a good location not far from the bus/metro and Kevin provides lots of useful information about how to get around town and what to see and do. After an evening on the town we got a good night's rest and enjoyed meeting the other guests at breakfast in the morning.

Kevin is very nice. The house is near everything. I enjoyed the time there. Several guests stayed in the house, but most of the time it was quiet. The house is a little old, bit clean and nice. Kevin provide food for breakfast and you can cook by yourself. I love that.

It was very great to stay the night at Kevins house!we got helpful Information what to visite best in San fransisco when you just have One Day! Thanks for that!! :) the room was wonderful and looked exactly the Same as on the pictures at his Description! Nice welcome and a wonderful area for the guests.

Super nice guy! Was lucky to have him host me last minute while driving from Vancouver to LA during a move. Really great spot and very well organized! Awesome food available for you to make your own great breakfast. Highly recommend!

Tony was very well organised and his communication was good. The room is secure and well equipped. Be aware that the shower and toilet are shared and down the hall. Kitchen is very basic and unfortunately others using it don't clean their dishes etc, so we cleaned items continually before using them and after use. The room fronts O'farrell St, so it is very noisy, ear plugs and eye cover is a must as it is bright in the morning. Anything you need, just ask, Tony is happy to help. Location is top notch, it is Tenderloin, so expect lots of homeless, crack smokers etc but they leave you alone, at no time did we feel unsafe, if they hassle you tell them to leave you alone and they do. Great Thai and Indian restaurants right down stairs, top food. Room and bed were basically clean but could have been better. Good value for the price, but don't expect the Hilton!

Nice and clean room, bed was very comfortable, I slept great. I liked that even though it was posted as a shared bath, there was a sink in the room which is nice. Tony was easy to get in touch with and his fast response time was a lifesaver as I reserved the room late the evening before arriving! I would point out to women who are traveling alone that the neighborhood is kind of sketchy. During the day it was OK but I chose to cab it back at night.

The location was very convenient to ride the Bart, cable cars, and other public transport. Close to union square. Lloyd, the manager was very nice and helpful and allowed us to store our bags the next day while we explored the city more. I would stay here again. Highly recommend.

The room is quite clean, really good place and close to downtown.

Nice place. The neighborhood is not very nice but is very centric. Totally recommended

Pros: the space was a good deal for the price - central location, easily accessible via public transportation, etc. The room is small but comfortable. The check-in and check-out processes were also very simple, which I appreciated. Cons: the room was not as clean as my friend and I would've liked. When we arrived, we found hair and fingernails in the bed, and there was hair in and outside of the shower.

Tony was very responsive to our email and texts. Freshly painted room with shared bathroom and separate shower down the hall. Room faced a very loud street. Neat but not really clean. Four blocks off of Powell st. Felt safe inside, but Neighbour hood is not very nice, I would not feel save for my wife walk around at night.

Very convenient location for business in downtown SF. The bathroom and shower were very clean, the linens were fresh and the room was actually pretty comfortable. I appreciated the easy check-in and check-out procedures. The unit met my expectations and fulfilled my need for an extended stay.

Christina's place is great if you're passing through the Bay Area but don't want to pay Bay Area prices. Pet friendly, the place has a fenced yard which was great for my pup's quick potty break. It's attached to the main house but I never heard anyone from the main house and the guest apartment felt private. Thanks Christina for a nice stay!

We were a family of 3, including a 4 year old. We were in the area winding off after a busy weekend attending our oldest son’s graduation from college. Christina and James were excellent hosts. They were very helpful with area information; we felt like we were visiting friends’ house. Their property was a perfect fit for our needs; it was private, clean, and the cot for a third person was perfect for our 4 year old. The property was quite, so we were able to rest very well through the night. We did not cook, but the kitchen was well stocked; Christina had it even stocked with breakfast items, like snacks bars, cereal and much more, which was absolutely helpful with a 4 year old. Plus, in the full size fridge, there was milk, orange juice and cold water. Lastly, El Sobrante was full of pleasant surprises, it is a gem ! We visited Tilden Reginal Park, where we rode a miniature steam train. It was a very nice experience for all of us, so much so that we still talk about it. On another day, we took the ferry from Sausalito to SF, it was the best SF day trip we have had. We will absolutely return if in the area. Thank you, Christina and James, for an unforgettable experience !

Christina's space was exactly as described...comfortable, clean, well equipped, conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, at an excellent price! She was a responsive and friendly host, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. We were welcomed with fresh fruit, chocolate, and wine. I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you, Christina.

We had a perfect stay - the apartment was clean and we had the next day's breakfast waiting in the refrigerator for us. Our host kindly gave us directions to the market so we could enjoy an evening of cooking dinner together - we rarely get that opportunity! Thank you for helping us make a wonderful weekend memory.

Was good, peaceful. Njoid my stay here. Christina was very responsive.

Christina's place was AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Super well equipped with everything a traveler would need, stocked with cereal, oatmeal, milk, eggs, muffins, jam/pb, shampoo/soap, etc. Lots of free street parking, privacy, and very safe & quiet. Christina was very communicative, thoughtful, and welcoming. I saw her super adoarable dog only once in the backyard and did not hear any barking during my stay. Additionally, I am a bit of a clean freak and felt very comfortable and at home there. I can't wait to visit again.

Christina made the stay very comfortable and private, and even left a chocolate bar for us when we arrived. Awesome!

My boyfriend and I stayed with Christina for a 2 month stay. We loved it there. We felt very welcomed and her pets (1 dog and 2 cats) were such a delight. Usually I'm not a fan of cats but her's were absolute sweethearts! To be clear the pets live in a separate area you only interact with them if you go outside into their backyard so it's up to you how much interaction you want to have with them. In my case I left my door open constantly so I could cuddle the little balls of furry love :). Christina was very sweet and checked in on us every now and then to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was also pretty well equipped with everything you may need for an extended stay. I would definitely stay again.

Ashir and Margaret where very nice hosts. They where concerned about the fact that I was comfortable and made me feel so. I had a nice and warm welcome despite the fact that I arrived late. My only regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to know them a little more. I have a nice memory of my first Airbnb experience! Thank you, Annie

It was great house that I stayed. They were so kind and nice. I like the location(closed to the bus stops), near restaurants, kitchen and also the room&bath were clean. but the only thing I don't like was that I can hear the voice next to my room. It wasn't too noisy but bothered me.

I had a great time in San Francisco being at Ashir's place. The house was well located and the room was clean. At Ashir's I found nice hosts always willing to help. I would definitely stay there again if I'm back in the city.

My brother and I stayed here for 3 nights on our recent visit to San Francisco. Ashirvadam and Margeret were very lovely people, even offering me homemade chai tea and curry for lunch! Extremely hospitable and such great hosts. My only minor concern was the noise. It's an old building so you can hear the other guests when they open and close their doors, and walk across the creaky wooden floors. The street outside can also get a little noisy at night/early morning when the neighbour's dogs start barking. It's not a big problem, but you should come prepared with some earplugs. :)

Host was great. They had no problems with me coming and going through out the day/night.

The house is very old so when we arrived we had few problems to open the main door. Our room was kinda dirty, with dust in the floor. It has a shared bathroom and it was cleaned only 1 time in 5 days that we stayed, so the trash can was full all this time. The location was very good, and the price was not that expensive comparing with SF, but it wasn't what I expect and I didn't feel very comfortable.

Ashir was a nice and great host, his place was clean and well-located.

The place was quiet as the only guest. Haight is much noisier and an easy walk. Getting in when I got there late was really smooth, and they let me leave my bags for a few hours after checkout time.

We had such a great time in Karens house. The room has private entrance so you do not have to bother anyone. I loved the sidedeck !!in the morning we enjoyed there our coffee. The room was very clean and there was everything you need. I would definitely recommend this house!

Everything was great. Karen was very responsive and helpful (esp. when I managed to lock myself out one time...) and the room was perfect. Highly recommend and I hope I can stay again next time I'm in SF!

Fantastic experience! Staying here was like having an entire studio apartment -- there is a separate entrance and a little kitchenette. The room was pleasant and the bed was extremely comfortable (memory foam!) with really nice bedding. The location is fantastic (one block from Tartine!). Karen was very easy to coordinate with, and has set up the experience in a way that is very thoughtful and easy for the guest. I will absolutely be checking back with Karen the next time I'm in town! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Perfect location and a cozy little place with everything you need. Mission District seems to be the place to be in San Francisco and Dolores park is a must, especially on nice sunny days. Really good instructions from host.

We had a wonderful time staying at Karen's Place! The neighborhood was great and the apartament very cozy. We would definitely stay there again! Me and my wife highly recomend it.

Karen is a great host. She made my stay super straightforward and easy. She clearly communicated and answered any question I had. The place was perfect for my perfect for my quick stay. Comfortable with an awesome location in the mission. I'd definitely stay there again.

This was a great spot to stay - I was in town for business and with the private entrance I was able to come and go as I needed. Great coffee and treats provided!

Karen's place is great. The bed is very comfy and the location couldn't be better to discover San Francisco by foot. We really appreciated Karen's help with our baggage. Thank you!

少しまわりの地域の治安が良くないので、昼間はウーバーを使い夜は出かけずに過ごしました。しかし、セキュリティや設備はしっかりしていて良かったです。

Communication was easy and the room was clean and cozy! The neighborhood was a bit scary as already written in some reviews, but it was ok and downtown San Francisco is close by.

The place waqs awesome thanks!

A fantastic stay! It was extremely clean, including the shared bathroom, and had everything we needed. We never met Tony but he was responsive and helpful whenever we messaged him. A great place for the value just a 5ish minute walk from union square.

Close to the financial district (great shopping), but far from the park and airport (30-40 minutes by bus). This place is clean and easy, and there are some great local bars and restaurants nearby if you're looking to avoid chains.

Good location near several top notch eats. Clean and comfy room and bed. Bathroom is shared but very well maintained. Tony was very detailed with his written instructions and maintained a quiet profile.

This hotel was a good value. It was very clean, the location was near major sites and public transportation, and there was excellent communication with the host.

This was my first time using Airbnb and I won't lie I was nervous. Tony's places was wonderful. The room, shower, and toilet were very clean! Shower and toilet are in separate rooms and both were cleaned daily! I didn't have any trouble using the toilet or shower. If someone was in there they left shortly. There was a kitchen which I did not use, but did notice it was also very clean. Fridge, microwave, stove, and dish ware were available. The place is in a great location distance wise from everything. Short bus ride away or possibly a walk if you are up for the challenge of some of the hills. Tony was quick to respond and he even has options available if you have a late flight and need to store baggage. Now I will say it is located on the north side and really the border line of what is know as not such a nice area of the city. It honestly did not bother me. There are lots of people heading to union square during the weekends at night and as long as you are aware of your surroundings instead of staring at your phone you will be fine. The homeless minded their own business. I am from Chicago and we have more violent crimes here which is what I was nervous about, but in San Francisco they definitely don't experience things like that. Right next door there is a wonderful Thai restaurant. There are a few great places to eat at or grab coffee near by. All in all a wonderful experience.

We had a wonderful time in Nancy's studio. It was very spacious and cute, with a sweet deck and lots of privacy. Nancy was a lovely host, gracious and helpful and fun to be around. Will definitely stay with her again next time we are in the Bay Area!

It was a pleasure staying at Nancy's place. My husband and I loved it. Location was perfect, close to our rental house and all the places we love to go visit while in town. Nancy was as nice as I read in previous reviews. She was very attentive and a pleasure to chat with. We will definitely come back.

This was my second visit to Nancy's very comfortable and quiet basement apartment. My wife and I felt very much at home once again, and everything is as she represents. She kept in close touch with us as our visit approached, and coordinated some unanticipated weather-related travel changes graciously. I will definitely stay with her again.

This apartment is close to Whole Foods, a Grocery Outlet, 24 hour Fitness, restaurants & bars, and the Bart. Once you get to the bart, you can be in SF in just 15 minutes. If you need a great place in the Bay Area, this place should definitely be on the top of your list.

Nancy was an excellent host. The place was extremely nice and an overall GREAT value. My girlfriend and I loved the location. Nancy was also very accommodating and super nice! We look forward to visiting Nancy again!!!

A wonderful, eclectic flat with everything you need: large living/sleeping area, full kitchen less a range (microwave and toaster oven works well) and private bathroom. Lots of treasures adorn the walls and sills. The large deck/patio has plenty of chairs, a dining table and bar b que. Best of all was our gregarious hostess Nancy. She was full of information about Oakland and San Francisco and was always available to answer questions. Water pressure in the shower is not the best, but certainly not a reason to pass up this gem. As Nancy said, the house is 104 years old and has some issues. The shower was the only one we found! Definitely will be back! Jim and Deedee Dean

Nancy war eine richtig gute Gastgeberin. Sie holte uns von der BART ab und brachte uns zu ihrer Wohnung. Sie hatte viele hilfreiche Tipps, welche Orte man in Oakland und San Francisco besuchen kann. Die Wohnung war sauber. Sehr hilfreich war der Whole Foods Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke!

The description of the apartment is very accurate - no surprises there! Nancy, our host, however, did surprise us with her friendliness and hospitality. A wonderful experience! The neighborhood is nice and the location is fabulous - very convienent to get around Oakland and environs due to the proximity to the 580 freeway, Piedmont, the Lake Merritt area, and downtown. Parking could be a challenge, but there, too, Nancy was very accomodating, moving her car in and out of the driveway so we always had a place to park.

Jayさんはメッセージを早く、丁寧に返してくれたので、予定が立てるのが簡単でした。 また他に住んでおられる方がいらっしゃいますが、丁寧な方たちでした。家もお部屋もきれいに掃除されており、とても居心地がよかったです。 駅から遠いのが心配でしたが、初めてでもバスの乗り方と(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)Mapを使いこなせばまったく問題がないことがわかりました。 近所においしくておしゃれなお店がいくつかあって(Jayさんのおすすめの「Woodhouse Fish Co.」)、閑静なエリアで本当によかったです。

Great room, good value, would stay again :)

Jay's house is in a great location close to lot of bars and restaurants. Jay's instructions for check in were very clear and helpful would definitely recommend his place!

Jay was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host. He provided very accurate directions and when we arrived he had every amenity one could want. The home is located in the best location so we could easily go around the corner for coffee, dinner, or shopping. His girlfriend Catherine was so sweet and extremely welcoming upon arrival. This wasn't an issue, but do make sure to know this is a shared living space where you will meet other travelers.

I had a great experience at Jay's place. The room is lovely and the bed one of the most comfortable I slept in! Perfect after a long trip :). There is an ensuite bathroom that has all the amenities you need. The area is amazing, Fillmore streets has many restaurants, bars and fashion boutiques! Jay is a great host, always available to help and answer any questions ! I will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed staying here for two nights. Only got to briefly meet Jay, but he was very welcoming. The room and bathroom were fantastic and easy to use. Great set up. No where better to stay than Pacific Heights. Will visit again.

I had a wonderful stay at Jay's place. It was equipped with everything we needed including coffee etc. it's a beautiful home in a great location. Thank you so much for everything Jay!

Jay's place was spotless, warm and inviting. The room was huge with ample towels and a beautiful comforter and pillow top bed. The place seems brand new top to bottom. Since this was a working trip for me I was often up early or late in the living room working on my computer and I had some great conversations with Jay. He made a great suggestion for dinner one night (Anchor Oyster bar on Castro) and I had the Ciopanni which is a local San Francisco fish dish (HIGHLY recommend!). Would definitely stay here again!!

Great space. No hassle. Clean. Charming. Nice.

Although this cottage is tiny, it has a private 1/2 bath plus a small fridge and stove top AND It's across the street from Whole Foods! Good bed, nice linens and towels. Perfect spot for one person = a sweet "nest" for my business trips.

A great little spot, perfect if u are visiting the Bay Area for a few days

Nice neighborhood, easy instructions. Would stay again.

I've been staying at Marina and Addy's the past few times I've been in Berkeley. This was my first time in the cottage. It was cozy and comfortable and perfect for me as a single traveler. The location is very quiet and close to everything. I'll definitely stay again the next time I'm in Berkeley.

The cozy garden cottage is indeed cozy! It is situated in a very pretty backyard/garden that is full of small AirBnB lodgings. The hosts have given some thought to decoration, and despite the tiny size, it has a homey feel. The bed was quite comfortable and although I was in Berkeley during an unseasonably warm spell, the cottage cooled off quickly in the evening with a ceiling fan and open window. Given the reasonable price, it's probably the least you can pay for a solo unit that is well-located. Shower had good water pressure which was a nice surprise. Although several units are very close together I really didn't hear any noise as long as everyone had their doors closed, and it was overall quite peaceful. On the other hand, it is quite small. There is one window and a skylight. There really isn't room to do anything other than sleep - so I recommend this listing if you've got lots to do during the day and just need a place to lay your head at night. I also think if it's very warm the inside would get quite hot during the day - when I came home after an 85 degree day it was quite close and stifling inside even though the fan had been on all day (but it cooled off very quickly when I opened the window, an advantage of being so small). The biggest drawback for me was that there isn't a bathroom sink. The tiny kitchenette nook does have a sink, but the sink is right up against the back wall of the bathroom, so it's difficult to wash your face - your right arm as you're facing the sink has nowhere to go, it's right up against the wall. Brushing my teeth was doable but I could really only wash my face in the shower. I wouldn't recommend this listing if you're a woman who has an extensive beauty routine! Overall, this was a quiet, peaceful, and surprisingly comfortable place to stay given the size - but is indeed very small, and some of the comforts that were sacrificed, like the bathroom sink, make it a bit inconvenient. For the price and location and clean charm though, it's a good deal.

Small, but very nice place to stay in amazing garden. We do like this part of Berkeley. The cottage was clean and really charming. Hosts was always prepared to answer our questions. Would stay here again!

Cottage was as described. Quaint little cottage! Hosts were easy to communicate with.

The location is great, close to many bars and restaurant and in an historic charming house. Definitely a great spot for San Francisco.

this was a perfect experience for me - Josh was available, but not in my hair. I pretty much came and went as I needed, and if I had a question or comment, Josh was very prompt in his response via email. I never met him, but didn't feel the need to. and it was a nice touch to leave water and snacks by the door =) he also had bicycles that one could borrow, and had I been more adventurous, I would have! the place itself is nice - had everything I needed, things were clean and easy to use. it got a little chilly in the room, but Josh had provided a space heater which helped out. I recommend this place to anyone visiting SF - it's in a great neighborhood, it is simple and convenient. thanks, Josh, I really enjoyed my stay!

My boyfriend and I stayed in Room 4, just under the roof. It's a light double room with a comfortable bed and basic amenities. We esp. enjoyed the nice view on Clayton Street. It shares a bathroom with another room on the same floor. The location is great, a couple of minutes from public transport (2 blocks from Haight Street) and walking distance to Golden Gate park. Should I be back in this neighbourhood, I would definitely consider booking this place again.

Cute house, to live the Haightsand Ashbury experience. Thanks Josh!

Josh provided us with a lovely home-base during our recent 3-day trip to San Francisco. . The location was great - right next to the Golden Gate Park, minutes away from hippie-heaven Haight-Ashbury, and a short walk to other fun neighborhoods. Especially for people new to SF, the location was awesome and made us feel integrated into city living. Josh was a really friendly host - he was there to welcome us, and immediately made sure we were well situated with wi-fi, bikes to borrow, and a map of the city (with adventure/food ideas). He also provided water-bottles and various guidebooks for our use. The room was very sweet - clean, light-filled, and comfortable. One thing to note is that the house is old, and there are some places that could use some renovating/polishing up (staircase, bathroom, and lighting come to mind). The house was completely dark at night (aside from a few motion-activated lights), and while we didn't have safety concerns, it would've been nice to have more consistent lighting throughout the house and to have a steady light outside. But all in all, it was a great Bed and Breakfast experience in a gorgeous city!

Our stay at Josh's house exceeded our expectations. The house is a gorgeous Victorian and our room right at the top with views over the rooftops. The room was a good size for two and the bed was comfortable. There is a small kitchenette off the bedroom with a table etc. There was a communal bar fridge in the house that was perfect for putting our breakfast and some beers in. Josh was very attentive; we had to contact him a few times during our stay and he got back to us promptly every time. There was plenty of tourist information in the rooms to help us navigate San Fran and give is some ideas of activities to do. The location was great; right on the heart of haight ashbury.

My sister and I stayed at the Haight Ashbury Experience for 2 nights in mid-October. When we got to the house, and into our room, we knew that we had stumbled upon a true gem. The house is beautiful, and in an incredible location right in the heart of the Haight neighborhood. Josh had fresh towels and linens waiting, and the space itself was clean, bright, and incredibly charming. Getting into the house and the room was very easy, and although we never met Josh, he was always just a text away, and willing to provide plenty of awesome, helpful information about where to go and what to see. It was a real treat staying here, and we look forward to doing so again on our next trip to San Francisco!

Great place, I had a blast!
