Very Quaint
The property is as advertised. It is a very nice studio property that is very well-appointed, spacious, and tidy. Amir was very communicative and gracious. He even brought us an iron (there was a steamer but no iron). The directions to the property were easy from the airport and check-in and access was simple. Upon entering the property you will find very nice furnishings in a small, but spacious, unit. You enter into the bedroom area, the kitchen is beyond that, and the bath is off of the kitchen. Each area is very nicely organized. You won't feel cramped at all. The owners have taken great pride in outfitting the spaces. It is a very comfortable unit. They provide everything from movies to chocolates to games to toiletries. They even have alcoholic beverages for sale in the room. Our only warning is that getting in and out of the bathtub to shower can be a little tricky, particularly for people of diminutive stature, as it is pretty high. There is a shower curtain that encircles the tub, so it may be a little claustrophobic to some. We also would like to see alternative seating in the bedroom area, just so you don't have to sit on the bed all the time. Overall, this is a GREAT property. We would recommend it to anyone staying in this area. Amir should be commended for being a great host with a great property.

We love this studio. The hosts provided special coffee’s (espresso and ground coffee for French press). So many little touches - great selection of jazz CDs and books by DH Lawerence, Doris Lessing and others. Very homey place. Wish we had a few more days to listen to the glorious water fountain and do some bird watching.

Cozy and Complete
My wife and I were looking for a location to stay that was close to Berkeley, where we were to attend a wedding and other events, but also convenient to the National Parks in the SF area and Napa Valley. This location fit the bill nicely. This house, while small, is very well appointed. It's well decorated and the attention to detail is remarkable. The kitchen has everything that you'd need, as well as 4 different ways to make a cup of coffee. The bathroom also has items that you may think you need to pack, but they're already here, such as a blow dryer and steamer. There was cold bottled water in the fridge, and chocolates on the counter. And there's a small, quiet patio outside the front door which is ideal for coffee and breakfast in the morning. We were very happy with our stay here.

This was an amazing place to stay! Very quite and cozy. Close to lots of shopping and restaurants, while being tucked away in a quite little neighborhood! And just a short 35 minute drive from the San Francisco water front. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to everyone!

Great little setup
This little cottage had everything one might need for a getaway to the bay. The decorations and overall atmosphere of the property was great and it was stocked with every amenity we needed. The hosts were very kind and responsive. The effort they put into the property and those who rent from them showed and was much appreciated. Only thing to look out for with this place: the parking space was very narrow and had a significant dip. Not a big deal, just had to take it slow. Overall, my girlfriend and I had a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy getaway.

Pampered
When we think of the times my wife and I have stayed in “our California cottage”, we think of the special feeling we have being so pampered by our hosts. Our most recent stay was for Christmas and we were overjoyed to open the door and find the cottage decorated throughout. Knowing that our grandkids would visit us at the cottage during our stay, our hosts even left a present under the tree just for them!

Great Attention to Detail
Cozy but perfect for the 2 of us. Well stocked kitchen. The Nespresso maker and milk steamer was a nice touch. We didn't take advantage of the wine "celler" but it was a nice touch as well. The assortment of Blurays, DVD's and streaming channels was over the top. The outdoor seating area and the Barbecue/fire pit were very nice. Private and clean. It was perfect.
