Would not recommend
It -is- a good location--close to a nice downtown area and restaurants, etc.--but it was not at all a good experience.

Functional place for a couple of weeks
We were renovating our place and needed a place for 2 weeks. The house is cute and functional. It is a bit older (feels like my older aunts house), but everything worked in perfect order (kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, bath, etc). Easy parking generally on the street and a small driveway to park off street if you can be careful (we were able to get our mini van in there with a bit of careful maneuvering). Great location- lots of amazing food around the corner, super convenient to university village shopping block. Will stay again if we are in a similar situation and need something for a longish stay.

Comfortable beds, great location, kitchen well stocked. House has stained kitchen chairs and an unpleasant scent. We did not mind the house being old but everyday items need to be replaced. Especially in the bathroom: shower curtain and bath mat.

Good home base
I spent several days staying at Johnny T’s Vrbo house in Albany, and it was a relaxing experience. It wouldn’t be considered comparable to a fancy hotel, but is quite comfortable with a lovely little back yard and deck. It’s a good home base if the objective is to explore the general area, and there are many restaurants nearby, as well as grocery stores if you want to cook. Johnny T. is an excellent host and was very responsive to any questions or requests that I had. Also, a difference from my own neighborhood, the block is quiet and there is always parking. I recommend it.

Great location, comfortable house at a good price
The house is old but everything works well. It is well equipped. I stayed there with my wife and three children for 4 weeks. The house is very well located. Close to a supermarket and close to Solano Ave where you can find a lots of nice local shops. The owner is very friendly and it was very easy to communicate with him. It is easy to get to San Francisco with the BART even if it takes more time than with a car. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you Johnny !

Great location
My mother and I stayed here for about a month in October of 2022. The house was comfortable, if a bit musty, and everything was in good repair. The bedding was clean and fresh, the water was hot, and the backyard deck/garden was very nice to sit at for breakfast. There are three grocery stores within walking distance (Sprouts, Whole Foods, and Safeway), Solano avenue is nearby and has some excellent food, and the 72 bus is 2 blocks away, which you can take down to Oakland or to the BART which will take you into SF proper. The house is also only two blocks away from the Greenway, a paved trail that proceeds under the elevated BART line and eventually diverges as as you walk towards downtown berkely, winding through neighborhoods and parks. Lastly, if you are renting a car, there is a large nature reserve perhaps 20-25 minutes away where you can hike amongst some (admittedly smaller) redwoods and in and out of canyons.

A great location.
While on a 10 week work assignment, three of us stayed at this house. While not luxurious, the home was clean and comfortable. It has a fully equipped kitchen and we were able to prepare meals when time permitted. The home is in a great location, only a couple of minutes away from from I-80/580 allowing quick access to San Francisco. Also Solano Avenue is nearby where you can find all the great restaurants that Albany and Berkeley have to offer. Parking was also not a problem and we had 3 cars. We would definitely stay again.
