Peter D. Aug 17, 2019 02:20:17 PM
Summary: We loved staying in Elmwood, and this charming flat was perfectly located for walking, biking and easy access to everything. There is plenty of space to spread out, entertain guests and relax.
Emma S. Dec 12, 2018 01:14:24 PM
Summary: We found this beautiful home to be in a great area, in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood of Berkeley. The house was much larger than we expected, and we loved the open living spaces with pocket doors that divided them. We have family in Berkeley, and come out at least once a year. The location was perfect for us as it was flat and we were able to walk everywhere. Restaurants and coffee places on College Avenue were only a five minute walk through beautiful streets of old brown-shingle homes and rambling gardens. We walked to the UC Berkeley campus several days a week, enjoyed our regular visits to the Free Speech Cafe, and discovered a map and book existed (at the much loved Dalloway's Book store on college) which mapped the many oak and redwood trees on campus. We also visited a great selection of cafes on and off campus--our favorites were Cafe Nefeli on the north side, and Cafe Strada on the south side. We visited the Hearst Anthropology Museum - a must-see on campus, and also the award-winning Berkeley Art Museum in downtown Berkeley. The 27 libraries on the Cal campus are well worth visiting. Check out the Morrison and the Asian library - both stunning! We'll be back hopefully!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay here. Came to visit family and stayed at this house for the third time. We love it here obviously. It is a quiet, friendly, and peaceful neighborhood, and we can walk everywhere - even to dinner in the evening, theater, and UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall! The neighborhood is charming and beautiful and there are so many unique and historic properties and tree-lined streets. Our grand-kids love the two parks that are less than a 5-minute walk from the house, and the gourmet Ici ice cream on college Avenue. (There's often a line outside.) We loved walking along college Avenue and having dinner out in the evening. Walking around campus is also one of our favorite things to do - lots of beautiful buildings, and many oaks and redwoods. We love the Faculty Club, a Julia Morgan designed building on campus, and now restaurant where we had dinner every week. We will be back again!

Summary: My family and I travel A LOT...and let me say that we have rarely found a house that is so lovely, inviting, clean, well appointed, and in such a perfect neighborhood. We could truly walk to the market and shops, plus many fabulous restaurants. (Maura has excellent suggestions, and within the house, a lovely binder filled with information about the area, including restaurants, attractions, etc.) There is a playground up the block, so if you have little ones, this is a plus. It is also just a quick drive to SF and many other surrounding attractions, Muir Woods, Sausalito, etc. Maura was so accommodating for our children as well, aged 4 yrs and 15 mos. It was a wonderful treat to have not only the feeding chair, baby bathtub, baby bed, blankets, toys, and excellent books, to name some of the items provided...but, to have ones which were of such lovely quality. Thanks, Maura, for a fun, comfortable and relaxing stay. All best, The Groves Family

Summary: Situated at the end of the street, surrounded by gardens and park benches, and a playground a stone throw away, this home could not have been more ideal for our family. The confined terrace allowed for grilling and a safe place for the kids to play outside. Our hostess’ hospitality was impeccable, and we immediately felt at home. The house was well-equipped, very clean and comfortable. To top off the perfect experience, just a few blocks away were quaint shops and delicious ice cream.

Summary: Nestled on a quiet street in the quaint and lively neighborhood of Elmwood, a charming house all bedecked in roses and passion vine awaited our arrival. We were warmly greeted by our hostess who exuded hospitality. Much to our delight we had found our "home away from home" to celebrate the marriage of our son. This Elmwood home is an architectural delight--boasting original trim and lovely built-in cupboards. We found it very clean, comfortable and cheerful, decorated in light coors reflecting the Berkeley sunlight, making it warm and cozy. It is a house of function as well as beauty. There is plenty of room for play and activity, and quality bed linens for good sleeping. The house boasts a fully equipped kitchen next to an expansive semi-formal dining room where a large table awaits good food a cheerful society of folk. we enjoyed breakfast on the private outside terrace. the location is perfect, tucked away and quiet but easy walking through lovely streets to cafes and shopping. It offered us a great place to work, to relax, and to celebrate. I whole-heartedly recommend this has the perfect spot to stay for any occasion.

Summary: This was our second time staying here. The amenities, layout of the house, and the location (location, location) can't be beat.
Oct 21, 2010 10:20:04 PM
Summary: We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 children. The location was fantastic, the area lovely to walk in. The house was very well equipped. Great Whole Foods Store just down the street. There was only one bathroom and the kitchen was a little crowded for two cooks but we would definitely stay there again! Maura was very helpful and made great suggestions on what to do with children and where to shop. Also helped us get a parking pass, so we did not have to move our second car every 2 hours. Our son used the garage for his rental car.
Lucy B. Oct 11, 2010 12:00:07 AM
Summary: The apartment is gorgeous, wonderfully located for exploring a great area of Berkeley (and with good walking access to BART for travel into SF), and could not be better appointed for traveling with kids. The owner, Maura, actually purchased extra baby/kid gear when she learned our group would include two toddlers and two infants. The house was already stocked with toys, books, videos, a great high-chair, and a child's aerobed, but she bought two pack-n-play portable cribs, a baby bath tub, and a toddler tub for us to use. Given that she bent over backwards to make the place kid-friendly, we were amazed at how beautifully decorated it was. As other reviews have mentioned, the linens are wonderful and the beds are very comfortable. The space was big enough for six adults and four kids, and we hosted a dinner for twelve adults one evening. The washer dryer was also a huge plus for our group. Really, it couldn't have been nicer!
Oct 10, 2010 05:00:09 AM
Summary: We rented this house for my mom for the week before our wedding. It was perfect. It was perfectly situated, the house itself was spectacular and served as the place where my mom met my future mother-in-law for the first time. We had a nice dinner with my mother, my now husband, my aunt and my future mother and sister in law. It was the perfect setting. The house was beautiful, and very well-maintained. Maura was very helpful with any questions we had about the house and area. It was exactly what we expected, clean, and in a great area. Close to College Ave. the house was close to supermarkets and shopping and movie theater.
