Vacation Stay
Overall, this property was as advertised. It is a basement unit in a home. The host allowed an early check-in with their friend to accommodate our flight schedule. They offered suggestions for local restaurants. We had a severe weather event during our stay, and our host responded immediately to clean up a small amount of flood water on a carpet in the entryway.

Great Stay
It is a wonderful little basement VRBO. It is small, perfect for two people but it is so well laid out it never felt cramped. It is quite adorable and well-decorated. Despite its size, it has all the necessities, Kereg, hotplate, and refrigerator. Great shower and jacuzzi tub. Extremely comfortable bed. The backyard which is available for use is amazing. Beautiful landscaping. Use of hot tub, wood pizza oven and grill with small patio. Owners live upstairs and are extremely nice and always available to help if anything is needed. I cannot recommend this enough for one to two adults. Fantastic location and a short walking distance to Solano Ave

Very Convenient, Clean and Comfortable
We (my husband and I) have stayed with "Gregory of Albany" several times as we visit our son and his family who live in Albany. It is perfect for our needs - a convenient, clean and comfortable place to be based while visiting family. It is a basement apartment with a very comfortable bed, excellent shower, and basic cooking equipment (microwave, refrigerator and freezer, coffee maker and basic dishes). There is a small desk area and reading chair - overall an ideal "base" for one or two people. The workmanship of the setting is impressive and there is a lovely garden with a wonderful hotter. the host is very easy to communicate with. AND thanks for the bottle of wine!

Yard was beautiful and inviting. Bed was very comfortable. Shampoo and soap not provided. Not a place for the elderly. My husband and I are 80 years old and in great physical shape. We were concerned about the stairs that did not have railings. There were 2 tripping hazards. One as you enter the unit and one in the bedroom. Lighting after entering the unit from outside was not very good. Not for those who are claustrophobic.

Charming basement unit!
This unit is so creative in its ability to offer everything you need. Our favorite was the microwave with attached toaster. The location is superb with easy walking to surrounding commercial areas. The backyard was amazing- beautifully planted with outdoor seating areas, grill and pizza oven. I wish we had been able to enjoy it more. Our host was the best - informative, helpful and fun to chat with. Overall a great trip.

One Week In Paradise
Greg & Blanca were accommodating hosts, even allowing me to check in early after a long flight from the east coast. They have a beautiful backyard with bamboo, lemon and palm trees. Though I didn't use them the outdoor jacuzzi and grill looked inviting. Inside, the queen bed was comfy, the shower provided ample hot water, and the complementary wine, tea & coffee was a welcome surprise. The location, being a couple blocks from both San Pablo and Solano, was ideal.

Cozy, comfortable place!
We had a terrific time here. The unit is like a superbly appointed little yacht. We had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable bed and chairs, lights everywhere, towels galore and very nice owners. We did not meet Greg but Blanca (who was warm and funny and personable) gave us the complete tour and Greg responded to all texts and emails. Gorgeous back yard. Palm trees, beautiful tile work everywhere. A very nice place to sit at dusk with a glass of wine. Even an elaborate pizza oven. Cheers!

a too short stay in Albany
We very much appreciated the cozy apartment that Greg and Blanca provided us. All was very clean and comfortable. The bed was super comfortable! Although we did not use the outside grounds, the outdoor pizza oven and grill truly impressed me! I would have liked to make some dough and pull together some tasty toppings for an authentic brick oven. Thanks so much for all the hard work it takes to create and maintain such a lovely place.

As Good as Described
My husband and I just finished our third visit at Gregory and Bianca's lovely and distinctive space. It is a small space ingeniously and thoughtfully executed with a very comfortable bed, lovely big shower and tub, a small desk and provisions for refrigerating and heating very simple meals. The yard is lovely and the neighborhood safe, attractive and very walkable. It is the perfect spot for us to stay then visiting our grandchildren.

Perfect stay for two
This well-planned apartment was thoughtfully equipped with all we needed for a comfortable and very convenient stay for us during a visit for our daughter's graduation. We were able to walk nearly everywhere, many amazing restaurants in this area! (Good thing we were walking.) Our hosts were very friendly and always ready to answer any questions. A busy week for us with family in from far and wide so not much time to visit but very nice folks. Would stay here again ! Wish we'd found it for prior visits actually.

Amazing property and lovely people
The property is charmingly set up, but it is cozy. Enough room with seating benches, desk, arm chair. There is a kitchenette and a big shower area. Pretty much a full sized fridge and freezer. One of the big attractions, though, is the spacious backyard with the grill, pizza oven, and hot tub. The other big attraction is the kindness of the hosts. Greg communicated quickly and was very welcoming and attentive. He was out of town for our stay but his daughter was there to show us the unit and was super friendly. Loved our stay here and would happily return. Excellent proximity to UC Berkeley. Safe, residential neighborhood with open street parking.

My husband and my stay in Albany at Blanca and Greg’s property was lovely. They are terrific hosts, with a clean, beautiful, well kept property. They were gracious and welcoming, even inviting us to join them one evening for a backyard party featuring their outdoor pizza oven. While it is a small unit, we were comfortable. And it is so conveniently located, you’ll walk everywhere. Would recommend!

Little Paradise
Reading the reviews had me cautiously excited about renting the place and let me tell you once I arrived it did not disappoint! First let me say, Greg and Blanca, thank you for opening your home to us. Blanca met us upon our arrival and she was so welcoming just like meeting s old friend. When we entered the yard I felt like I was transported to little Italy they really took care in the design. The quarters were cozy and had everything you could possibly need. We truly enjoyed our stay and how close we were to the vicinity of our daughters apartment in Berkeley -just 5 minutes away. I look forward to our return and hopefully your home will be available for our stay! ☺️

Basement stay in Albany.
Very clean, comfortable bed, it is against the wall, if two are staying. Which makes getting in and out of the bed a bit of a challenge. Well stocked with paper products,, and towels. We did not cook or use the backyard but it is beautiful. A bit of a problem communicating on the site with Cell phone reception. Not sure what would make that easier. In a basement but very quiet.

Great little space!
The space is great! Very modern and cute with plenty of room to hang out and sleep. Only issue was figuring out how to get in, but we had a super late flight so it was dark dark. Host had offered to meet us to show us the property so not fault. Oh and parking is almost non existent! Plan to come in a little early to get a space.
