Find Places to Stay in Albany on Airbnb

Karen and Mike’s cottage was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay while in town for a wedding in Berkeley. It’s tiny but had everything we needed and more - microwave, toaster oven, fridge, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion. (There is no TV, which we knew going in.) The bed was comfortable, and everything was clean and nicely decorated. I was genuinely impressed with all of the thoughtful touches around the cottage, including fresh flowers and snacks. It rained all weekend during our visit, so we didn’t have a chance to enjoy the backyard/garden, but it looked lovely. Check-in could not have been easier, and we did not have any trouble finding a parking spot on the street. It was very convenient to have Trader Joe’s as well as Starbucks and other restaurants right across the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place to stay in the east bay. Private and easy to book last minute. Will definitely be back!!!

Karen & Mike’s place was so perfect for our 3 day stay in Berkeley/Marina. My husband is disable and the access to Karen & Mike’s was just fine making it easy for my husband to roll in with his walker. Having Trader Joe’s in a walking distance was so perfect for us to prepare a few delicious intimate dinners. We absolutely enjoyed it! and hope to comeback in the near future! Thank you!

This garden studio is beautiful, stylish, and welcoming. The location is great -- within a short walking distance from the El Cerrito shopping center and BART -- and an only slightly longer distance to Albany hotspots on San Pablo and Solano Ave. Karen was helpful and friendly, and even the family cats came out to welcome me when I arrived. I would book this cozy cottage again in an instant!

The location is very close to the BART station and there is a large shopping center right in front of the airbnb. The room was very clean and comfortable. The gentle sunshine and the chirping of birds in the morning allowed me to wake up pleasantly every day. When I opened the door, a lovely, friendly cat in the garden was sleeping peacefully. Check-in was also easy and smooth. Karen was a very kind host. Despite the house rules they were willing to respond to irregular requests for check-in. Because of my mistake, the room making team accidentally disposed of my things in the refrigerator because of my early check-in. When I returned that evening I was very upset and mailed Karen a bit rudely and angrily. Even at that time, Karen responded immediately and was really kind and sincere. She took care of the situation to my complete satisfaction with professionalism and empathy. Karen, I'm sorry to make you feel uncomfortable at that time after your kindness and consideration. One more time. Karen, thank you very much.

Karen and Mike’s place is the first Airbnb that I ever stayed at, and I’ve returned twice since then. Great location! Great space! Great hosts!

My home in East Bay

What a lovely cottage Karen and Mike have created. Thoughtful amenities and lovely decor in a safe and cozy environment. If I was lucky I was greeted buy one of her sweet cats on my way in or out! I would definitely stay again.

Super clean, awesome location! Diane was also very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Diane and Chris have a wonderful space: it is clean, private, and stocked with everything you need for comfortable lodging. They were quick to communicate with me about details of my stay and offered generous hospitality during my visit. From advice on local transportation and places to eat to pleasant conversation, they were fantastic hosts. I highly recommend staying here when you are in the East Bay Area.

Super hospitable hosts, gorgeous space and neighborhood! Will def stay here again while in SF🙌🏽

Cozy, clean, very comfortable. Wonderful hosts. I especially appreciated the lighting: several lamps as well as recessed, dimmable ceiling lights. The space was larger than I expected but take note if you are a tall person that the ceiling is quite low. Fridge, microwave, and a great shower. I would definitely book another stay.

My favorite place to stay when I visit Albany.

Great, conveniently located spot for visiting the east bay! Cute and comfortable.

This place is walking distance from anywhere you want to go, I will definitely come back here when I come back to San Francisco.

Diane and Chris were fantastic hosts! Easy to keep in contact with, and when I forgot my pillow they made it easy to swing by and pick up. Thanks so much!

Clean, cozy little den. Super comfortable bed. The space was perfect for our family of 3, and a fantastic price. Highly recommend.

Great place!

Convenient location - very close to shopping and BART. Nice place

Sweet little place. Cozy and warm and very quiet at night. Love the backyard and the bird feeders on the windows. Shopping area to grab snacks and dinner so close to walk to. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Kind and generous enough to offer early check in when available.

This is a very nice place, very close to the El Cerrito BART station and Trader Joe's and is beautiful on the inside and out.

My go to place in East Bay. Clean, convenient, great hosts

Think of this as a spacious room at a boutique hotel. Spotlessly clean with a beautiful backyard where you can enjoy the outdoors.

Katie is a great host and the cottage is wonderful.

Very nice cosy cottage, flowers and trees all around, everything I needed. Great bargain!

Perfect little cottage, spacious bathroom, garden setting next to a sparkling creek, 1/2 block from coffee shops and more. A special place.

Katie’s little cottage was the perfect place for a solo traveler to relax in the east bay. It was cozy, comfortable, and super convenient, and you really can’t beat the price! Highly recommended.

Lovely and serene place! Good price for the area!

Great space

Another great stay!

Very cute space in a beautiful environment. Great neighborhood, anything you need in walking distance and very good restaurants close by

Perfect location for the activities we planned; quiet and clean; with an excellent neighborhood that boasts unique shopping and restaurant options all within walking distance! Exceptional lodging for one or two people who enjoy warm hospitality and comfy urban stays.

This was our fist time staying at an Airbnb so we didn’t exactly know what to expect. Our stay was very pleasant. The cottage is located in the back yard of a charming house on a beautiful street. We arrived late after our hosts retired for the evening. We where able to get the key to the cottage from the lockbox hanging on the yard gate using the access code they provided. The way into the yard through the fence is a bit narrow due to a garden planter. This was no problem for us, but might be difficult to navigate with larger luggage. The cottage was spacious, charming and immaculately clean. We always found parking right in front of the house on all three days of our stay. We met our lovely host family as we left every morning at the same time they took there children to school. The house is walking distance from the charming shopping and restaurant village along Solano Ave. I would suggest eating at Zachary's Pizza, which is my favorite pizza parlor in the world. UC Berkeley is only a 15 minutes drive. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Stephen and Marin's place was really lovely for what I needed. I was in town for a week-long residency and was in meetings from 9 am to 9 pm daily. It was perfectly quiet, clean, plenty of parking, plenty of hot water for showers, and close to everything. Note that the entrance is a little tight if you have large bags as I did, but you can make do. Thank you again!

Hidden gem!

We loved the stay at Stephen and Marin's. Place was sparkling clean. Would love to come back here and stay in the future. So accommodative and very quick responses.

What a lovely place in great neighborhood!

Nice, quiet spot within walking distance to many places to eat, shop, etc. I would definitely stay here again.

Place was perfect for what I needed. Great location. Would definitely stay there again next time I’m in the Bay Area .

Wonderful stay in an amazing location! Our entire time we kept saying, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live here full-time?” The bed was so comfy, the entire space immaculately clean, and it was great to be able to walk to dinner or take a 30-40 min drive into SF. Hope to be back soon!!

Cozy Cottage clean with wonderful amenities in door and out! Close to shopping grocery stores and restaurants! 5 stars

Lovely cottage that was spotless and close to restaurants and boutiques and easy access to Berkeley and SF.

This was a great place to stay, quiet but less than a block from Solano Ave and all of its conveniences. The space was well stocked with everything we needed, very clean, and obviously well loved.

Sherry’s place is literally the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in (which is saying something because they’ve mostly been very clean!); it was spotless. It was also very thoughtfully put together so that anyone staying would have to wonder where to find or how to use amenities in the space. Comfy bed, great location (coffee in a really cute nursery around the corner!), and Sherry gave us great recs for more places nearby on Solano. Would love to stay here again.

Absolutely one of the very best experiences that we’ve had with Airbnb! The Little Lemon Cottage was immaculate, stylish, and perfect for a short stay, or for a month. In addition, it was quite reasonably priced. Sherry, and the Little Lemon Cottage receives my highest recommendation.

Lemon Cottage is a gem. Highly recommended. Well furnished. Modern. Clean. Great location. Good alternative for visiting San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area.

Sherry’s place is even lovelier in person than it looked in pictures. She’s a great host and we’d absolutely stay again!

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay! The space is small (although it was perfect for our needs) and very clean and thoughtfully put together. Jeni and Skye were helpful, communicative hosts and we would be happy to stay here again on another trip to the Bay Area.

Stylish space with nice amenities in a great neighbourhood

We had a great one-week stay at Jeni and Skye's place. It's just as described, in a great location, quiet neighborhood, easy access with a place to park a car (huge!), very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. The hosts were very quick to respond when we needed something or had a question. This place is a fantastic value for the area and we will come back!

Great place to stay. Around 45 mins to the city via the BART or driving.

Clean, welcoming, within walking distance of Bart's El Cerrito Plaza stop, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Skye is available and present. Recommended!

Quiet location, perfect space.

Very clean and cozy place in a nice, residential neighborhood that is accessible by public transport. The hosts were also very responsive. Highly recommend!

Everything you want is their excellent accommodations

This place was darling and so cozy! It was quiet, light and comfortable. It really felt like a home. Clean, bright and very centrally located. I’ll definitely be back.

Our stay here was great. Super clean and stylish. Would recommend!

Such a great find! We appreciated the amenities and thoughtfulness with which Pat has prepared their spot.

This place is quiet and clean. Shops, restaurants and transportation are all walkable for an active person. Thermostat must be on a program, we needed to keep turning it down to 67 degrees or so, the way we're most comfortable. However, others may like it just the way it is. We would stay there again.

Pat’s place is an absolute oasis. The bed is incredibly cozy, the rain shower is divine, the backyard space was a great spot for the morning cup of tea. It’s two blocks from Solana Ave that has awesome amenities (little star pizza, Fonda, the adorable coffee cart in the plant nursery) and a great walking neighborhood. It was awesome to come home to a quiet welcoming cottage after a day our in the East Bay! We will be back!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Pat’s place, it felt like every need of a traveler had been anticipated and Pat has truly gone above and beyond. Amenities were wonderful and thoughtful, the kitchen is fully stocked, the coffee is fantastic, the space is clean and modern but still extremely cozy and comfortable. I slept wonderfully, felt relaxed and had everything I needed. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

We loved staying at Pat's place. The space is beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. The Nespresso machine, the comfortable bed, and the amazing shower made it feel very luxurious. In the warmer months, I'm sure the cute private patio is perfect for morning coffee. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

Great accommodations! Had everything I needed in a nice, stylish, clean space.

Private and super clean, this spacious cottage was well appointed with everything I needed and a place to put things. Water pressure was great, everything is very new and fresh, and it is light and quiet. The location is prime, close to freeway and the fun Solano avenue. The bed was cozy and it was fun to watch DVD's. Wifi worked perfectly, and the kitchen area is stocked so you can make a meal with ease. Heater worked like a quick dream to take the cold away. It was nice to stay in a place that was separate from the main home, as in some places staying underneath you hear the other tenants. Not here, it was calm and quiet. The hostess was quick to reply.

Great little efficiency apartment in an extremely convenient location! Raquel was wonderful to communicate with and was very accommodating when we needed to stay an extra night at the last minute. The space is small, but extremely clean and has everything you need - coffee maker, mini fridge, stovetop, toaster, etc. Raquel even put out apples and granola bars as a welcome gift, and included a list of local recommendations to check out while we were in town. Easy to check in and out . . . overall a great place to stay! Thank you, Raquel!

Very pleasant stay, clean and simple.

I needed a place last minute and I was so lucky Raquel’s was available. Her place is charming. It’s cozy in a comfortable way and unexpectedly spacious, also in a cozy way. The place is so thoughtfully appointed, it’s like she thought of every detail needed to make it feel like home. And it did, immediately. Location was perfect for my needs, her communication was immediate. I’ve already recommended Raquel’s place to friends and will definitely seek it out the next time I’m in the East Bay. Lastly, if you are a grandparent whose grandchildren live in University Village, the location of Raquel's place is in easy walking distance, with Sprouts on the way.

Very nice experience. My 2nd time here. Darling back yard. Close to transportation and shopping. Nice walking neighborhood.

Raquel’s cottage is the perfect place to spend a comfortable night and a good morning. She includes a lot of thoughtful touches like coffee and breakfast snacks. The bed is very comfortable too!

Tiny for sure ... but cute and comfortable. Great location. We had a couple small issues and the host was very responsive.

It is rather small in size, but it has everything. I liked the privacy, our own bath room, private entrance. The bed was large and comfortable. I will stay there next time I go to Albany again.

Ron and Laurie were excellent hosts. They were very helpful and caring as the COVID-19 crisis was unfolding. The house was sparkling clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend their place.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! Every thoughtful detail was beautiful both inside and out.

A great place to stay in West Berkeley! I would definitely stay here again. So convenient to walk to 4th street for shops and restaurants. All of the amenities provided by Ron and Laurie were so thoughtful and much appreciated! It was great to have some complimentary snacks on hand. The only downside was the noise from the trains, but ear plugs were provided.

Ron & Laurie’s place exceeds all expectations! They are such friendly and thoughtful hosts, they have thought of every detail that a traveler may need and truly go above and beyond for their guests. The space is wonderful, very clean and comfortable. Amenities are above and beyond - snacks, homemade granola, and fantastic quality coffee. I had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to return!

This place is has an open, spacious feel with a lovely view of the garden. Very comfortable bed, and lots of thoughtful amenities. The location is great, with restaurants within walking distance. Parking was a breeze. Communication and check in were so easy! Thank you, Ron and Laurie!

Wow, this place is exceptional. The hosts are thoughtful and respectful and sweet. The location can’t be beat- we enjoyed meandering out in the morning to find cafes. We really noticed the thoughtful and stylish design put into every detail. Thank you!

Great place that’s close to everything. Came for a wedding and had some extra time to explore; Laurie had great suggestions and advice! Would highly recommend Ron and Laurie’s place to anyone staying in the area.

I enjoyed my stay, I slept well and the walk to good food was wonderful. I would recommend this place and I plan to come back next time I visit.

This is a beautiful space in a gorgeous neighborhood, a quick bus ride away from Berkeley and the BART. It would work perfectly for a couple or four people wanting their own sleeping areas! We had a great time and would absolutely return.

We loved this space and would definitely enjoy returning to such a beautiful home and neighborhood.

This beautiful home is located in a wonderful neighborhood. It’s not too far from San Francisco or Cal university. My friends and I had a wonderful time here.

Cozy and perfect for our needs.

This is a great spot to stay if you're looking for a low key vibe that's close to everything but isn't right in the heart of the hustle and bustle. The house is cute and we loved taking morning runs in the surrounding neighborhoods. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an affordable and comfortable place in the East Bay.

Erin and Esteban’s place was a safe, clean, and comfortable spot for us with our three children. We loved the location close to great shops and restaurants on Solano. Warm and cozy living room especially with the heater on (necessary at the time of year we were there) and lots of tv/movie options available. Comfortable bed (we brought a pack n play that we set up for our little one). The older kids enjoyed the loft and when they weren’t using it we put the ladder on the floor so our toddler wasn’t tempted to climb it. Great communication with hosts and easy to find and access the house. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful, cozy space! Nice place to relax and recharge. Communication was quick and friendly with the hosts and I definitely recommend staying here :)

This is a lovely, cozy unit in the most beautiful, peaceful neighborhood. Everything you might need for a relaxing getaway, close to the fun of town but sheltered from any chaos. Wonderful, comfortable space, beautifully decorated. Just a pleasure to wake up here each morning of our stay.

Malcolm was super nice! A great place to stay, in a good location and very well maintained.

Malcolm’s place is very clean and cozy. It is even better than the pictures. Malcolm is nice and considerate. We look forward to visiting again.

Malcolm’s apartment was cozy and comfortable for my husband and me. The kitchen is well appointed, and thoughtfully stocked with basics. We especially appreciated the coffee and snacks :-) The bed is great, ample towels for guest use, nice step in shower, and plenty of privacy. We highly recommend Malcolm’s apartment.

Great location, clean space. I keep awkward hours and work until very late, but this wasn't a problem. It was slightly awkward to have to use the garage door as an entrance (I'm extra conscious about creating a disturbance in the house) but that doesn't mean that it wasn't a great space.

During three weeks, this place was so nice for my family. Malcolm is so gentle and so nice also.

It's always a pleasure to stay here where you feel welcome and you notice the extra thoughtfulness.

The creation of this Airbnb space has been beautifully done, with attention to safety considerations. . There are plenty of outlets, and a lovely bathroom, with amazing water pressure in the walk in shower. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is convenient and completely furnished. Very quiet, and the owner is available but unobtrusive.

This is a wonderful place to stay .. very convenient location in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.

Great hospitality. Comfy bed.

Heidi does such a fantastic job taking care of her guests. The space is private, clean, and very comfortable. There are many thoughtful amenities making it easy to make a pot of coffee, store luggage, or fix a meal (Whole Foods is a 10min walk). One of my absolute favorites!

Great place

Such a gem! Private, yet conveniently located, this perfectly appointed and welcoming space made my trip to Berkeley into a beautiful retreat! Heidi is so warm and welcoming, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Berkeley. I highly recommend Casaluna!

This place is located in a nice neighborhood in North Berkeley surrounded by cafes, restaurants, shops which gives the feel of authentic quite Berkeley life in the bustling San Francisco Bay Area. Bob and Heidi did a great job with the stylish hide-away studio, which is well stocked with all the necessities and open to a nice back yard. They are very knowledgeable about the local culture and give excellent recommendations around the neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

This place is great, stylish and cozy. Love it and it’s location. Would stay again. Host was amazing as well. Thanks for the lovely place to stay.

Heidi goes above and beyond in thoughtful details to make her guests feel at home. The space is warm, comfortable, and relaxing. The bed is extremely comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with serving ware and additional thoughtful things like serving bowls and a cutting board. If there’s something you need while you’re away from home, Heidi has thought of it! One of my favorite places to stay!

I had a fantastic stay at Heidi’s place. I travel for work on a regular basis and Heidi has put a lot of time and care into thoughtful touches (luggage racks, a little fridge, a full sized coffee maker with coffee, plenty of kitchen serving ware, an iron, a clothing closet, snacks, etc) that make a stay away from home comfortable and easy. The space is extremely clean, comfortable and cozy. Felt like a home away from home!

Cute Cottage. Large kitchen. Full size refrigerator .

The host, Robin, was extremely fast at responding to any questions or concerns I had. The location was ideal and close to lots of things that people might be interested in. But it was also a great and safe neighborhood. Robin was very accommodating and really made everything easy and not stressful. Place is as advertised and beds were comfortable as well.

My husband, my two teenage sons, our little dog, and I stayed at Robin's place and were very happy with the accommodations. One kid used the loft, one used the sofa bed, and we used the little bedroom. The location was just excellent. Parking is really easy on Carmel Avenue. Very easy check-in. Thanks, Robin!

Easy, clean, quiet.

The cottage is as described. It is very cute and cozy, and well-located for a visit to the East Bay. Walking distance to stores, coffee shops, and restaurants.

Robin has a great little place in a great location. Comfortable, clean and very cute. Parking was very easy too! Highly recommended!

Perfect little apartment for weekend getaway in Berkley. Cute neighborhood, awesome host! Thanks again for everything!

This is a lovely stand alone unit at the back of the main house. The living space (kitchen and sitting area) is spacious for 1 or a couple and perfectly doable for more for a short stay. The bathroom is clean with a hot full height shower over the bath. The main bedroom is accessed via the bathroom and has a very comfortable bed. The second bed is on the 'loft' accessed by a fixed ladder (I didn't use that). It was perfect for me for 5 days. I didn't use the kitchen much but it looked very well equipped and clean. The location is great - many places to eat, drink, or buy groceries within walking distance on Solano, and the unit was very quiet.

This is a really good room. It's clean and bright, and the host family is very friendly. It takes within 10 minutes to go to a station, a grocery store, etc. I recommend you to live this room.

Great

One of the best Airbnbs I've stayed in. A very private room with its own lock, exceptionally clean and quiet, and an easy self check-in process. While it may seem a little far from San Francisco, the BART station is only a short walk away, which makes the distance largely immaterial. The neighborhood is excellent - safe, suburban, and great local bars and shops less than a minute's walk away.

Nice place, safe area and close to alot of areas. The responses were great and so was the room.

It is great

The location is absolutely nice having Bart station in 10min distance in safe area. The room is very spacious for one or two, and other places such as kitchen or restroom are also very nice. I strongly recommend here to travelers in Bay area.

I stayed at Pena place for 5 days and it was very comfortable. Easy communication, clean room and quiet neighborhood. I recommend !

comfortable and welcoming home

This house is at the quiet town of Albany. About 5min walk from shopping center and BART so if you dint have car,no problem. If you rent car,I recommend small car. Parking lot is small and San Francisco parking is not so big. There are 3bedroom so it’s enough for group or family.

It was clean and easy to use.

Convenient, comfortable and spacious bungalow. The host is very responsive.

The house is clean and the streets nearby are neat. It is very close to Berkeley and BART stations, which is a good place to stay. The host is very friendly and there are many prepared kitchen utensils and utensils in the kitchen, which can be used after a little cleaning. Overall experience is good, thank you for the hospitality :)

Great value!

Extremely communicative with quick responses. Great place to stay!

We had a pleasant stay at Elsa’s and had plenty of room in her spacious apartment. It’s centrally located which made traveling around the Bay Area super convenient. We plan on staying here again on our next visit.

Thanks you for having us in such a nice place

Absolutely lovely, convenient space meticulously kept by Celine and David who are both warm and welcoming hosts. Great value for the location and accommodation.

Set in a lovely neighborhood within driving distance of a dog-friendly beach and park with walking trails, I really appreciated my stay at this well appointed, private apartment that made for a very comfortable stay. The host was very responsive, check in and check out were a breeze, and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great space with comfy bed, large TV, and full kitchen. Except for shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, has everything you need!

You guys are amazing hosts. I really appreciate the amenities provided and would highly recommend this place to others.

The pictures do not serve this spot justice - super chic, cute cottage. Has everything you need from kitchen utensils, clean towels, extra blankets and fresh roses on the dining room table. Perfect for a little get away.

David’s place is conveniently located near cafes, bars, and BART. It was spotless, with pleasant amenities, including coffee and plenty of water bottles on hand. The California Cottage helped make our stay comfortable and complete.

Wonderful location, sparkling clean and great hosts. Would definitely stay again.

David’s place was cozy, clean, and private. Check in, check out, and parking were a breeze. The cottage is located within walking distances of shops and restaurants, including Trader Joe’s. Very convenient!

Great, safe neighborhood with lots of space to walk your dog! Parked my car in the driveway directly in front which was very nice! Full kitchen with all of the amenities available. Very clean and spacious. The only very slight issue was I was awakened every morning at 7- 7:30 am by a lot of loud running and stuff upstairs ( I think it was little kids and I know they can’t do much about that!) just tough when you work late and get woken up so early! Otherwise I loved it and would definitely stay again!

Great location, excellent coffee right around the corner, perfect for a quick work trip!

What a beautiful space!! Location is absolutely AMAZING! Rose was a great host and communicated well! You could really see the thought and love that was put into the space. Loved staying there. I brought my 18 month old with me and it felt completely safe to have her run around inside and the best part is she slept well! Would love to visit again!

Beautiful home in a perfect location! Rose & John were amazing hosts and their home was a great size with lots of personal touches to help make our stay even more comfortable. We loved the decor, everything was very clean and thoughtfully put together. Thank you again!

Great place for two people with separate bedrooms. Nice living space and Kitchen . Very comfortable and good value. Close to shops and restaurants. Definitely recommended.

This just might be my favorite airbnb stay to date! Very clean, roomy, comfortable, and in a great location.

This place is great! The best part is the location - you can walk to everything. Additionally, the space is super clean, well-stocked with what you'll need, and Rose is super communicative. Would stay again!

The space was very clean. Parking right in front of the doorway entrance. Coffee was available which is always nice. Backyard area was pleasant. Heat works very well. Washer and dryer are quiet and efficient. Overall I had a very nice experience at this location. Its only a short walk to a coffee shop, deli or pharmacy. Would stay here again if given the opportunity.

Great Little House. Lots of thoughtful details. Older neighborhood but 5 min drive from great shops and restaurants on Solano blvd. Would stay here again. Good for a couple, really small space for more than 2.

I really enjoyed my stay! It's a small, cozy place with everything you need. There's a bus stop right around the corner and walking distance to a lot of great restaurants, shops, etc. in Albany. Bonus: The bed is REALLY comfortable.

What a delightful little cottage! Conveniently located and stocked with everything you’ll need. We’ll be back!

This was such a cute and quaint space! Has everything you need. The bed was super comfortable! I’ll definitely be booking again!

Kristi’s place was just as sweet as the pictures. Exactly what we needed for our short stay in the Bay Area. Super comfortable bed, everything was lovely and clean. Adorable back garden to sit and relax.

This was our first experience with an Airbnb property and it has set the bar so so high for any future stays. Response times were almost immediate, Kristi was extremely helpful with the whole process including giving me feedback on traffic conditions while I planned activities in the area. The host was available but provided privacy that made this stay feel like a place of our own. The space was so beautiful, stylish, CLEAN, and comfortable! I’m very happy with this stay and will definitely stay again if I’m in the area!

A modern clean space in 5 minutes override from Lily great restaurants and breweries.. comfy bed and all the amenities you need enjoy your stay

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Perfect for solo traveler or couples - Kristi's backyard tiny home will make you feel like you're a part of the neighborhood. The interior is so simplistic, but cozy and homey. The lighting in the space is perfect, but she make sure to provide great window covers for those that like to sleep in. The neighborhood is absolute perfection. I felt so safe going on walks around by myself and in the dark. It is a 15 minute walk (hike, honestly) up to Albany Hill Park and it's such a great way to see the sunset and it's just a quick jump back to the house. 15/10 recommend!

We’re returning customers. Very satisfied.

We used Jeff's place for a visiting staff member and it was such a lovely, nice, quiet spot for him to relax into his new surroundings. The groceries Jeff provided saved him! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing spot in the East Bay.

As always, it’s a pleasure to stay at Jeff’s place. We’ll be definitely coming back!

It's a beautiful, comfortable, large studio with a full kitchen and bath and a great host. This was our fifth stay there, and we will definitely return. Thanks, Jeff!

Fabulous location. Quiet neighborhood and a very private set-up. The hosts thought of everything from Peet's coffee (our favorite) to fresh fruit, OJ, milk, butter and anything else you can think of. We loved the "no-barrier" shower, multiple shower heads and all of the high-end features like instant hot water and much more. One thing, of which to be aware, is that the path to the front door is beauty bark or mulch, which is lovely, but you will have to carry your rolling suitcase/s to the door. Not a deal breaker for us. The water from the tap is fantastic! No need for bottled water, just a bottle to refill. Honey combed, top-up or bottom-down, blinds on the windows allow for controlling the light and your privacy. Cozy, well appointed home-away-from-home.

Lovely place and great host.

Jeff is a great and prompt communicator. The apartment is cozy, with a lovely private garden space, and there were even eggs and milk in the fridge for breakfast!

10/10 would recommend, jeff is super kind and has a cute and quaint cabin with a beautiful yard. & is only about 15 minutes away from cal for those who are visiting the bay area for the campus

Nice place, very affordable.

cozy and comfortable in a great location

This was an excellent stay, it was much better than expected.

Esteban is a really good host, i had the opportunity to meet him in person when i was there and his communication is not only professional but friendly. The apartment was clean when i arrived and the neighborhood is really quiet (that worked really well for me as i was on a business trip and had to go early in the office). Its near to marketplaces for groceries as well to downtown Berkeley (35 mins by foot) . All in all , great experience

Erin & Esteban's cozy, charming cottage-style apartment was perfectly located, on a pretty block near coffee shops and stores, and a great value for our visit to Berkeley. So glad we found you - many thanks!

Erin And Esteban’s place was perfect for my mother and her husband visiting for the holidays. It was very clean, well located, and the booking/check-in/check-out experience was very easy. Thanks for hosting!

Awesome place! Thank you.

Great location and perfect space. All that you need for a comfortable stay. I will definitely stay here again.

and Miranda's cottage is a special, extremely well located, and lovely place to stay in sunny Berkeley. Everything is the cottage is designed to make the guests feel welcome and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, the shower terrific, and the bed very comfy. No complaints in any way.

I loved staying at the cottage! It's super cute and there are chickens out back! It's quiet and in a great location. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at Jeremy and Miranda's! We loved the warm space and the chickens outside. They provided for everything we needed, and more. Thanks very much!

This is the second time that I've stayed in Jeremy & Miranda's place, and I will stay again. I love the privacy of their cottage, the cleanliness and spaciousness, and the kind touches. I love having hens nearby, too! Jeremy & Miranda are terrific -- welcoming and gracious hosts who I enjoy getting to know. Communication is super responsive. What a wonderful AirBnB!

The place is very private and relaxing. Feels very homey. Would stay there again

Secure and a safe neighborhood . Easy check in, good value, spacious, room for a family (if you wanted) one could easily stay for a couple of weeks and not need anything. Fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker. Close to stores , shopping, and anything one could want in Berkeley. A yard of you want it, a chicken coop (local color), and hospitable hosts.

Great visit! Spacious accommodation, peaceful setting, lovely location near Oceanside, almost a village in and of itself.

I loved staying at Jeremy & Miranda's place. It's quiet, sparkling clean, both spacious and cozy. And I loved visiting with the hens in the yard (whose fresh eggs Miranda generously offered!) It's also really well located, just a few minutes walk from the shops along 4th and the bus on University, for those taking public transport. Thank you, both!

Great place

Peaceful stay in backyard tent. Cece is great and so are the other people who come through the space. The blankets kept me plenty warm. Super grateful.

Cece is very sweet and has a quaint space. Enjoy my time and her hospitality.

The location is excellent, and the house very cozy. The tent is nice and very comfortable, even though it was a bit cold in those days.

Good location and Cece's a wonderful host

Plum Hollow is an enchanting place that really gives travellers an authentic Berkeley experience. The backyard garden is a magical place with a huge persimmon tree, and the cats are lovely companions.

I have stayed in the backyard tent before and it's really a nice way to save some money while having a nice "glamping" experience - a real bed, quiet environment (except for the Halloween party one night down the street but they had great taste in music so i was fine with it!). This location is close to BART and great restaurants so I can walk or BART almost everywhere I want to go.

The tent is quite comfortable in a very nice garden backyard. Cece is very friendly and very helpful in providing everything you need. I would be happy to stay again.

Cozy and quiet. Ms Deborah is lovely

I just needed a place to rest and this place provided that. It was clean and organized. I did enjoy the interesting outdoor cabin feeling.

Deborah's place is a little smaller than anticipated, but it is so charming and cozy! Deborah is extremely accomodating- offering tea, coffee, and water by the bed. She even has a new puppy to say hi to!

Great spot! Would stay again and recommend to a friend.

Deborah's place is set in a great location (~10 minute walk to Monterey Market (best produce in the East Bay), ~20-25 minute walk to BART (allowing for easy transit to SF, downtown Oakland, and downtown Berkeley, amongst other places), and extremely safe). Deborah, herself, was a wonderful host (respectful of space, while interested in talking with you and providing you with pertinent local information, if you are interested). The garden cabin is a really cool structure, featuring an interior lock, antique bottles, and warm blankets. This place is worth checking out!

Had a fantastic stay at Deborah's. I got in in the wee hours of the morning, and she was very responsive (sorry about that!). The cottage/main house/outdoor space are all delightful - very unique decor, lots of cool art to look at, very clean. I slept very well - I love the combination of a cool night with a warm duvet. Deborah herself is very kind and nice to talk to. She had some nice suggestions for places to check out and communities to join. Her pup is adorable. I wish I had more time to hang out and enjoy the outdoor space!

Always a pleasure to stay at Deborah’s cottage when I’m in the area. It’s the perfect spot for a traveler, with tons of walkable places in the Berkeley/Albany area. I’ll be back again next time I get the chance!

Nice, small, cozy place. Easy street parking. Easy access to bathroom, kitchen, etc. Great location.

If you are seeking a bright, vintage-designed quiet space in a great location this studio apartment is a great choice for you. There is a nicely equipped basic kitchen, great wifi and the bed is super-comfortable. I particularly liked the full-size desk that also works as a dining table for one. I hope to stay here again on a future visit.

Rina's flat is so homey, comfortable, and quiet. It's in a wonderful neighborhood. Rina is friendly and available. This was my second stay and I'd definitely book it again!

This was a cozy little spot and was very comfortable.

We very much liked Forina's Sweet Spot. Great location in a lovely neighborhood, wonderful privacy, comfortable space with a desk for working. Delightful selection of books to peruse. Thoughtful touches such as half and half and organic eggs in the fridge and a quality dark chocolate bar. Beware if you care: No TV, which we understand.

The space is comfortable, quiet, and in a great location. Forina was very responsive. Overall I had a great stay. Thanks!

Great spot. Nice location

A perfect place in Berkeley!All was great!

This is a sweet in-law flat above a garage in the Solano neighborhood. Nice and quiet and airy. Just three short blocks to Solano Avenue for coffee, food, etc. Bed was super comfy, kitchen area just what you need, nice bathroom. I'd stay there again!

Erin and Esteban were great hosts! Their garden was a good place to hang out.

Wonderful place to stay it's very cozy and comfortable and the fireplace warms up so good, loved it and would stay there again next time I'm in Berkley♡♡

Rapid and inviting response from hosts. Excellent electronic info packet with all the details we needed in directions, parking, special features of the house and remote access entry. Very simple process. Very nice place with lovely grounds and comfortable warm aesthetic interior. 4 stayed comfortably. Don’t think twice about it. Book. We’ll be back.

Lovely home. Spacious and cozy. Quirky. Backyard. Everything you need.

Charming and unique place, quiet and secure location. Just be sure to watch your step — lots of changes in levels due to the old architecture!

Loved the space. Very cute and unique. Great communication. Would definitely stay again.

Great place.

Perfect

The room is clean, spacious, and modern.

This Airbnb is as advertised - clean, modern and very comfortable. The Albany location is excellent. The host is very responsive. Definitely would return.

Great studio/one bedroom in Albany. Modern amenities, nice firm/comfy bed. Quiet location, private location. Highly recommended!

This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend it!

Great place for business trips and tourism in the Bay Area. I hope it will be available on my next visit.

Perfect abode. Super clean and well appointed. Host is very responsive and friendly.

This is a fantastic place very close to the BART station. It’s so modern, practical, and clean! I highly recommend it.

I was doing work at Berkeley and Sylvain's place was perfect for my needs. It is well appointed, very private, and close to BART as well as shops and restaurants. Communication with Sylvain was very easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Gillian’s home is a great place to stay in the Berkeley area. Close-by Street parking was easy to find and the check in process was very easy. The bedroom was very comfy and had plenty of space for a solo traveler like me. The personal touches that Gillian has throughout the house really make you feel at home. If you happen to be in the area on a rainy day, Gillian and her dad have lots of interesting books to dive into. This is definitely a perfect spot for cat lovers. I’m looking forward to the next time I get to visit the Berkeley area already!
