"The courtyard facing rooms with patios are a highlight!"

"My clothes and suits got wet due to a leak in the ceiling from the AC unit’s access panel."

"Positives: the host was very responsive and respectful and addressed concerns . There were plenty of dishes and cutlery and having an air conditioner/ heater in each bedroom is nice. The unit is gated and locked which feels safe and private. Negative: In the effort to be transparent so others can make informed decisions . Unfortunately, our experience with this unit was very different from what was portrayed in the listing photos. After arriving and spending the night, we noticed multiple concerns including a strong odor in the home, visible water damage and deterioration throughout the property, damaged electrical outlets that did not feel safe to use, and windows without proper locks. The condition of the home appeared significantly more worn and neglected than expected. The host was polite and did agree to refund the unused nights after we communicated our concerns, which we appreciated. However, we ultimately did not feel comfortable or safe continuing our stay and checked out early. I would encourage the host to address the maintenance and safety issues, as the property has potential to be really cute and nice but currently does not match the condition presented in the listing. I would encourage people to ask about repairs before writing the property off because like I said , it has a lot of beautiful potential"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Arden, the host was extremely helpful when needed. The hot tub was a plus with everything working. It is an older home with some wear, but perfectly fine to rent. I would definitely stay there again."

"Very clean accommodation. I felt safe. Hotel management makes safety a priority. Although this is a boutique hotel without a lobby with coffee or drinks, there is a 7-Eleven a couple doors down and plenty of coffee shops and eateries about a 10 minute walk up the street on Piedmont Avenue. Only thing that was a little concerning was that the windows are single paned and sound carried very easily into my street facing room. The hotel manager reassured me that the rooms that are away from the street don’t have the same issue. "

"The man who checked us in, Brian, was so sweet and helpful. The room was fine and it was inexpensive but in retrospect I wish I would have stayed in a hotel a short walk to Emeryville Amtrak station because the neighborhood was intimidating. We had no problems but I wouldn’t stay there again. "
