Vacation rentals in El Cerrito

Jeff’s place was lovely, private, and very thoughtfully appointed. We had a good stay and appreciated his hospitality and communicativeness, as well as the beautiful touches that make the most of a cozy space.

Great place, had water in the fridge for us, well stocked with amenities.. Thank you Puck!!!!

Very quiet and peaceful setting for relaxation and reading and writing. Easy walking to a lot of good restaurants and public transport. Rainbow and Zan were easy to communicate with and facilitated an early check in which was helpful. Would stay here again!

Much to like about this bnb. For starters, the place was spotless and obviously well cared for. Even though it's a 'lower level' unit, it was quiet, and the back patio was very private. Windows in both main rooms let in natural light. The bed was comfortable; the bathroom and shower felt luxurious! Although it doesn't have a separate kitchen, per se, the kitchen counter/area is very well appointed with anything you may need. Parking was easily available on the street -- which is saying something in the Bay Area! A cute little park is just steps away. It really is a stellar place to stay, especially for a single person like me visiting my children in the area. The fridge is small, and as other reviews have mentioned the bedroom/living room area has a very low ceiling. I'm 5'6" and had no problem, and it didn't feel claustrophobic to me, but for taller folks it may be different. Tiffany and Philippe were very friendly. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The place was great. We needed to be in the neighborhood and were very happy with the location. The space is very comfortable and quiet.

Noah's house is in a lovely section of North Berkeley — close to some great restaurants, groceries, and interesting shops on Solano Avenue (about a 10 minute walk). We needed a respite from the dog our daughter is fostering, and this well-maintained, peaceful home was perfect. We were able to get our work done (fast, reliable internet), go for walks, and recharge. Thank you, Noah!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location couldn’t have been more perfect—just a few blocks from our favorite Cheeseboard Collective Pizzeria and within easy walking distance to UC Berkeley. We were in town for a wedding and needed a family-friendly place nearby, and this home checked every box and more. The space was spotless and thoughtfully prepared. The bathroom was especially impressive—clean, well-stocked with soft towels, and featuring a beautifully laid-out shower and hot tub that made winding down in the evenings a true treat. The kitchen was pristine and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy meals during our stay. Traveling with little ones can be challenging, but this home made it easy. There was even a pack 'n play ready for our infant, which was such a thoughtful touch. The layout of the home was comfortable, cozy, and made our time there feel like a true home-away-from-home. Highly, highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Berkeley

This place is really special! Enjoy the beautiful, private garden, but be sure to have a bird book handy, many birds come to drink in the fountain. The apartment is gorgeous, we felt right at home. Everywhere you look is museum quality art. We loved the Buddha next to the kitchen and the Bodhisattva in the garden. Everything we needed in the kitchen was right where it should be. Great stereo system and killer CD collection (we enjoyed all of the John Coltrane!). The fridge is on the small side but we made it work. Apart from a fussy lockbox for the key (we finally sorted it out), the place is super comfortable and close to perfect. I don't think you will find anything nicer in the Berkeley hills. We will be back for sure!

Xiaol’s place was nestled in a super quiet suburban neighborhood. It was peaceful, we didn’t hear a thing when we slept. The house was spacious enough we enjoyed daily yoga. My husband loved the bedroom mattress. I really loved the sofa bed because it was firm and even. I don’t sleep on soft mattresses so the sofa bed let me sleep like a baby. The kitchen was a good size and had everything we needed. I enjoyed complete privacy while Xiaole responded our questions but left us undisturbed. The large screen TV was pristine and very easy to use as well. The house had what we exactly needed. So if you need a private, peaceful house, you can’t go wrong with Xiaole’s listings!

I came to El Cerrito for my 50th high school reunion. Location close to BART and East Bay hills was perfect. Bed was extremely comfortable. Downstairs unit thoughtfully furnished. Carly made check in and check out very easy. Great location with easy access to freeways, Berkeley, San Francisco, and Marin County. I would stay here again, no question.

Fatima was very responsive and helpful when we had a problem with our Airbnb account. We would not have been able to stay at her wonderful home if she had not gone out of the way to fix the problem. I am so grateful that she responded quickly. Aside from the fact that her home is lovely, she made us feel at home.

Eugenia’s place and Eugenia and her husband are fantastic… One of the most comfortable organic cotton beds I’ve ever slept on, the most enchanting, beautiful property, and every appliance state of the art, efficient and intentional with the touch of love. Eugenia brought me teas, and various unconventional items I asked for. And the natural light and airflow were wonderful. And very healing and the most peaceful and healing neighborhood I’ve stayed at in the East Bay. For anyone looking for a healing retreat, Book this place as soon as possible

Lovely ,quiet space. Very comfortable and nice living area with lots of outside light in the family room with a commanding view of the Bay. Great grocery store in walking distance. Janet was a wonderful host and if you need anything she is there to help. Would stay there again in a minute!

It was a great spot for a one-week visit to the area. It's a quiet neighborhood with views of the Bay and beyond. Blake Garden is just a three-minute walk away, and it was beautiful in May. We spotted local wildlife in the area (mostly when driving home at night): deer, raccoons, and a downhill neighbor seems to have a skunk family living in their driveway. The unit itself is perfect for a couple, and the sofa bed was comfortable for a kid of any size. The shared laundry room was available and convenient. We agree with others who have noted that the in-wall space heater was a little loud. This would not normally be a problem for us, as the droning fan creates white noise -- except at certain temperatures, the thermostat would occasionally cause it to repeatedly turn on and off. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning if in the area again.

This place is great! very nice and very cute! the tub outside was amazing!

My family had a comfortable, peaceful, and stress-free stay while in town for my graduation. The place felt homey (with many toys and books for kids!) and worked well for my family. The decor was a bit dated and there were dogs on the property, which could be an issue for some guests. Overall, the hosts (Donald and Susan) were friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and it was a good stay for what my family needed. Would recommend!
