Comfy Place in Berkeley

We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect base for exploring the area. Comfortable, quiet place with a very responsive host. We enjoyed the neighborhood and had some great takeout within a few minutes walk. The parking that comes with the unit might seem a little tight if you are not used to city parking, but we had no problem getting in and out. And there is a good amount of on street parking as well. If we are back in the are we would definitely stay again!
