Summary: The stay was extremely disappointing. Here's why. The interior pictures are not what is there. The only seating in the main room is an outdoor sofa that is extremely uncomfortable. Not what is in the pictures. The kitchen is also lacking. I had to use my own pans. The one there was a joke. There were no decent knives. I had to request a cutting board. For this price I feel there should be some quality pieces in the kitchen. Also, I had to check out early due to a change in my work. Let me state I'm fully aware of the the policies of VRBO. I had a coworker who was interested in staying for the rest of my time. I asked the owner if that would possible. The answer was they didn't have an agreement with them. That they hadn't vetted them. This person was willing to sign an agreement. The only way they vetted me was by taking my payment. Of course, I would have liked to have gotten some money back. I feel there was a doable solution. Lesson learned. In the future I will book months separately. So overall, I would not stay there again. Very disappointing.

Summary: First, we have nothing but good things to say about Daisy, the owner, though we never met her. Her communication was prompt, and she was responsive to our needs, including sending someone to help carry our luggage up the stairs. The toaster didn’t work, we needed more towels and an ironing board and iron. All arrived the next day. Our texts were always responded to quickly. The living room and main bedroom are quite large, with a comfortable couch and queen bed. The kitchen has good appliances, but is on the small side. Since we were there during COVID, and had to prepare all of our meals, that was a drawback. Also, we could have used a couple of more dinner plates and a few more water glasses. However, we didn’t ask about them, so we can’t complain. I’m sure Daisy would have accommodated us quickly. The location is excellent. You can be in Berkeley or Walnut Creek in 10 minutes. Overall, it was a positive experience, and we would recommend Knickerbocker for those wanting a comfortable and fairly priced place to stay in Orinda.

Summary: I stayed a total of sixty two nights while my apartment was going through some renovation and enjoyed the rental thoroughly. The accommodations were exactly as pictured as advertised. It was very comfortable, clean and safe. The property provided everything that I required to make me feel right at home, just as the host had mentioned in his description. Plus the location is Fantastic. Only a few minutes away from all the great restaurants, bars and shopping or wherever I ventured to. Daisy was very personable, helpful and responsive throughout the entire process of booking the reservation and greeting me upon arrival. Everything was spot on! Definitely would recommend staying here if you want a sure thing! I would be happy to rent it again. Thanks very much Daisy!!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful duplex in Orinda. House was clean and very cozy. amazingly in-expensive. Daisy and Norman were 5 star...so friendly, so attentive and very helpful. Staying here was better than staying in a 5 star hotel. Close to so much, a nice walk or a quick, cheap über ride away! We will most certainly be staying here again whenever we are in the area next. Thank you so much Daisy & Norman!! - Brian and Lori

Summary: Orinda is really a beautiful place and the location of the rental is great! Truly a Five-Minute walk to BART (Metro) station and the downtown area. We didn't need a car. The apartment is perfect for 2 people. The bathroom has shower over tub and small but it worked fine for us. There were plenty of quality fresh bath towels and toiletries provided by the homeowner. We were also provided with very nice fresh bed-linens, clean comforters, blankets. The kitchen is small but stocked up with everything we needed to prepare and enjoy all our meals. It has all the major appliances, complete set of cookware, silverware & dinnerware. We enjoyed hot fresh coffee from Keurig Coffee Machine, Bialetti Moka Express Espresso Maker. Free complimentary Internet Access. Owners are thoughtful and very sincere unlike some of our previous experiences with hosts from Airbnb and VRBO. If you are looking for a clean, fresh, simple, tastefully furnished with a great mattress and centrally located place, then this is the perfect place. The owners can easily charge more then their asking price. We looked at a lot of places in and around Orinda, this rental was the most reasonably priced yet provide a great place to stay in a very fine neighborhood. The bottom line is we had a great stay and we enjoyed visiting San Francisco and the nearby cities in the East Bay. Thank you Daisy for letting us having the place to ourselves!! We appreciated that you left us alone..

Summary: The apartment was perfect for us. It had all the basics we needed for a short visit. There is absolutely nothing peachy about it. Good location. Great price for a nice and clean place. Orinda is a beautiful place, close to San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland. Only 30 miles from the Silicone Valley! We didn't have a car but had no problem getting around. We took BART and other public transportation to everywhere! Daisy was so nice and thoughtful, we would love to stay there again. Thank You Daisy!!

Summary: One of my colleagues and I rented this property in Orinda while attending a course at UC Berkeley. The property was clean, great space and fully equipped with essential appliances. The place is perfect if you are looking for a practical accommodation with a bonus of being in walking distance to the best breakfast, lunch and dinner spots in the downtown area. The nightly rate was extremely reasonable specially for Orinda! The best part of our stay was that we didn’t need a car. We took BART or walked to everywhere. This was actually the first time in my adult life that I was “car free” and loved it. The hosts: Daisy & Norman are excellent. Caring, thoughtful and supportive.

Summary: Very well equipped flat. Nothing crazy, nothing outrageous! Just a cozy, warm, comfortable and modern in a very safe, residential and calm area close to the public transportation including BART. Walk to everywhere! Downtown, Starbucks, Shops, Banks, Drugstore, Grocery, Restaurants, Cinema are all within walking distance. Felt very much welcome by lovely and very helpful hosts. Daisy, I wish to give you more than 5 stars! Orinda is a beautiful community and about 19 miles east of San Francisco and about 3 - 5 miles from Berkeley. We loved our stay there and we'd love to come back!

Summary: Last June, we spent over a week at this property. The house is older, in a charming neighborhood, easily walkable to the downtown shop areas, transportation, parks, lots of open spaces everywhere, the beautiful Lafayette Reservoir all are within few minutes! The UC Berkeley campus is few miles away. The apartment is a short (5 minute) walk from the BART station. There are also transit busses running along Moraga way to St. Mary’s College and beyond. We were here to attend our son's graduation in Berkeley and the flat worked well for our stay. The neighborhood is safe and very quiet at night. The internet in the flat was reliable and fast. The kitchen and bathroom are small but quite adequate. There is a flight of stairs from the street level to the apartment so may not be ideal for anyone having issues with the mobility. The apartment was very clean. The mattress/pillows (firm but comfortable) and bed linens are newer and there were plenty of newer bath towels. The owner met us at the apartment on arrival and was very personable and sincere. You cannot really beat the price. (Most of the places that we looked were "room" in a house, a shack behind the house or something above the garage). It was the most reasonably priced, decent independent apartment in a very affluent community. We had the maximum privacy. We will certainly return and highly recommend to others.

Summary: The apartment is located in a really neat part of East Bay Area called Orinda. A lovely place! Daisy was very well organized and I had no trouble getting into the apartment. The space was clean and equipped with everything that I needed for my short stay. The bed was the best I have EVER slept in a hotel or B&B. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing outrageous! All you get is a clean, quiet, safe, comfortable, beautiful, stylish place with everything for an unbelievably great price! Only 20 minutes away from San Francisco. Great VRBO experience! I will be back soon.
