Great location, bring small car
Place is located in super convenient area, within walking minutes from some of the best restaurants in town and a few grocery stores. We all know what Oakland is infamous for, there is private parking but you will need a small car to squeeze in. Otherwise, host was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule after we arrived. All in all, wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Enjoyed Christmas and New Years in Rockridge!
We have stayed at Ed’s lovely home several times and always enjoyed it. Rockridge is a wonderful, vibrant neighborhood. Ed’s home is situated right off College Ave and very close to where our daughter’s family lives. We kitchen is well appointed and TV etc work great. We unreservedly recommend this lovely VRBO.

Gorgeous home steps from College Ave
We had a wonderful stay. The house looks historic but feels quite new and beautifully designed inside. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, and the view out the windows of the primary bedroom was a delight to wake up to. College Ave is a pleasant commercial street just steps away, making it very easy to integrate right into the life of the neighborhood. (There was a little night noise from a bar on a Friday, but not bad.) Off-street parking, good internet connection, and a friendly and responsive host. We'll look here first the next time we're in the area!

Oakland trip
The listing said parking available in the driveway. There was NO safe parking in the driveway. Street parking was restricted. We found that out after our arrival. The house was modern and well equipped. The listing said there was a pool - no pool. The listing said there was an elevator- no elevator. The listing said there was a desk and a desk chair, it had neither.

Awesome vacation rental
What a lovely comfortable home. The design is elegant, the renovation was impeccably done. It's in one of the best neighborhoods in Oakland (for restaurants, shopping, public transport). Nothing was overlooked in terms of our comfort. Owner available and helpful. We will surely try and book this property next time we visit our son. This is our third VRBO stay in Rockridge and was definitely the best (among some pretty great ones).

Family Visit in Rockridge
This is a fabulous property. The kitchen and baths are completely updated. The kitchen includes every utensil/pot/pan/dish you need to make dinner. So many don't! It is close to markets, restaurants, and transportation. My family agreed that we would definitely stay here again. Thanks to the host for providing such wonderful accommodations.

Gem of a home in Rockridge!
We have stayed at Ed’s lovely home multiple times, and each time we comment how much we enjoy it. It is perfect in every way: wonderful neighborhood (restaurants, coffee shops, book stores etc) super comfortable home (clean, nice furnishings, including cookware, appliances, great showers and bathrooms in general, good wifi.) Ed is a wonderful host, super helpful if you have questions but otherwise makes you feel like it’s your home while you’re there. Suffice it to say, we’ve already made our next reservation.

Casa King
From the moment we checked in to Ed's house we knew it was going to be special. Ed was a great host and lived up to who I thought he would be based on our pre-occupancy emails. The house is wonderful, is fully equipped and in a great location just off of College Street nearby many of Berkeley and Oakland's best restaurants. Ed facilitated parking for our rental car by pre-purchasing our parking permits for us for the month we were there. In all this was a 5-star place to stay. No doubt we will be returning!

A Rockridge Jewel
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at this lovely Rockridge home. Again, we had a wonderful time! The house is perfectly appointed and so comfortable. Our host, Ed, is kind and responsive, though seldom needed because the house is so carefully maintained. We love the neighborhood and we will return! Thank you.

Lovely home next to College Ave in ❤️ of. Rockridge
Between the home, which has been totally remodeled and offers every convenience, and the neighborhood which is adjacent to College Ave (restaurants, shops, book stores, BART stop, TJ and coffee shops), we had a wonderful time staying at this VRBO. The TV offerings were also great (important to my husband during baseball playoffs:). Home is full of light and super comfortable. We already have made plans to return. Thank you!

Very comfortable rental
We enjoyed our stay in Oakland. Ed’s home is very comfortable and the location worked out great for us. I enjoyed the kitchen and gas grill outside making quite a few of our meals. The kitchen could use a new skillet. The ones available were a little past their prime. Also, it was very warm when we visited and the beds only have heavy duvets on them. There was only one light weight blanket to use. Most of the nights we needed a little more than a sheet and the duvet was just too warm. Overall, I think this was a gem of a rental. We appreciated how clean the home was. Walkability to the shops, restaurants and Bart station was perfect. Thank you Ed for allowing us to stay in your home. We hope to be back again.
