Our family of three (the two of us -adults- and a 6YO girl) have lived in this fantastic house for two months (Ago & Sept 2019).
The house is huge, with a lot of space and many enjoyable spaces (sofas, tables, corners, even table games, books and libraries, etc.). Beds are comfortable, the two bathrooms are big enough, and the facilities are perfect. Kitchen includes the basic needs of living in a nice way and for cooking the basics at home.
The garden is much bigger than you can see in the pictures and with the perfect balance between comfort and a bit of wild/freestyle. Very quiet and peaceful. Not "undesirable" animals around, on the contrary, many birds, some squirrels are also part of the company.
The neighbourhood is very safe, friendly and quiet. Around the corner, you have a nice place to buy some food, and also some restaurants. 15 min walking (in different directions) you have many other supermarkets with a broader offer. Also very close to the house there are many parks and the Ohlone Greenway, a perfect path for running, walking or cycling.
Our experience in the house couldn't be better. The house was comfortable. The feeling of being at home at every moment, as well as the opportunities for enjoying in the area of the house, made our family time in Berkeley perfect.
Important: if you are visiting the UCBerkeley, you can go walking (30 min) but also you have some buses available to connect.
Last but not least, we have to remark the smooth communication with Patti and Anne, they have been incredibly kind, flexible and "easy" to be in contact with and to solve the questions we have.
They also included in the rent, the possibility of using a truck for local mobility that has been great for us to move just around the bay (for longer trips, rent a car).
We hardly recommend this house for your time in Berkeley.

My experience was really great. The house is pretty big, quite, sunny, comfortable (furnished with taste; there is even a piano, just in case someone plays) and with a superb garden, so my family and I enjoyed the stay. I could go to UC Berkeley walking (35-40 minutes), but, if you prefer, you can take the bus nearby, or, to go to San Francisco, the BART (fifteen minutes). Lastly, Pat and Peg were always very helpful, answering (with patience) my doubts and giving me many tips of advice.

We spent a little bit more than 2 marvellous months in the house. Everything went perfectly for our small familiy, thanks to Pat, Ann, their house and its beautiful garden. The neighborhood is very quiet with every kind of shops French people are used to. Even a good bakery and the famous Monterrey market are just a few blocks away ! You can ride a bike to the university and walk to the Bart station. This rental, is better than its description on the website without even speaking of Pat & Ann kindness.
We will never forget our time in Berkeley.
