I originally requested to book a unit through HomeAway and Limor contacted me to let me know it was not available. She was very helpful in sending me several other links of locations she had available for the days I was looking for. These were all through AirBnB. I selected one she has listed called Vision Quest and was my first experience with AirBnB as well as Limor. Signing up with AirBnB was a little tedious but they are trying to make sure of the integrity of the traveler. Everything got approved and Limor was very prompt in contacting me and providing all the information on location and access and other information about the area. We arrived and everything was perfect, even had a few goodies on the table for us to enjoy. The place we stayed at was better than expected and was perfect for what we wanted. The area was beautiful and our stay in The Bay Area was fantastic with memories for a lifetime. I would totally recommend booking with Limor as well as using AirBnB. read more

Limor and her crew helped us book a little apartment with a huge view of San Francisco Bay at Christmas time. The information provided including pictures was accurate and helpful. Limor answered my questions quickly. She was helpful in pointing out things to do and see in the area. We are looking forward to future vacations in the Bay Area and will definitely use Book a Nook again. While the apartment was comfortable and the view was stunning, what made the experience a 5-star vacation was Limor and her staff. Good communication before, during and after the stay was the key to a relaxed and happy vacation. read more

In response to the owner: My name is not Paul (not sure where you're getting that), and I booked the rental through Airbnb. Don't try and discredit reviews through slander, Limor. If it's 50 degrees out, turn on the heat to make guests feel comfortable. A passive aggressive sign that tells ,e "don't open blinds or the furniture gets too much sun" is not for my safety. read more

I recently stayed at the Book-A-Nook property "When Craftsman met Beatnik" along with three friends for the weekend. While there were many positive aspects of our stay, my memory is of bugs, painful bites, and an inability to get clarity from the owner that the cause was fleas and not bed-bugs. Positives: Great location near Berkeley gourmet ghetto Responsive property manager prior to visit Fully stocked kitchen with yummy goody basket upon arrival Large and spacious house on quiet street Excellent value Unfortunately, the negative aspect of our stay was significant: I received more than 10 bites on my arms and torso on the second day. The most likely cause was fleas from the cat that stays in the house, although the owner did not provide definitive information that there were no bed bugs. Upon further inspection, the Master Bedroom and bath along with the seating area on the porch had cat hair. Given the $250 cleaning fee charge and the presence of bugs, I do not recommend Book-A-Nook. Without the bug problem, I would have assigned 4 or 5 stars. If this risk does not concern you, then you will have an enjoyable stay. I hope the owner/property manager does a better job of maintaining a clean and bug-free property in the future. read more

Beautiful and comfortable house in Richmond with great accessibility to Bay Area. The house had everything we needed and our hosts were very responsive and helpful. Very kid friendly, with toys, trampoline, fenced backyard, and laundry facilities. No A/C, but we were very comfortable with open windows and ceiling fans. read more

My experience of Limor and Britt from Book a Nook is that they are responsive, informed, creative, professional and friendly. I am writing from a property owner's (not guests') perspective but I recently spoke with another property owner who said all the Book a Nook guests who stayed in their home were happy with Book a Nook and that Book a Nook was very responsive to their needs. I was referred to BAN by another East Bay Housing Service Provider who was also impressed with Limor and Book a Nook. When I have guests coming in from out of town in the future I will definitely look at what Book a Nook has to offer rather than referring them to a hotel . . . read more

Watch out if you rent through AirBNB with Limor. First, the place will not be as it seems: filty, garage-sale level implements in the kitchen, a pull out sofa instead of a queen bed, etc. But that's not even the bad part. The bad part is that once we left, she tried to stick us for damage we hadn't caused! We're talking about broken plates or dishes that our party never even saw. The best part is that she claimed to airbnb to have gotten an estimate for their replacement value! what a laugh... In short...avoid, avoid, avoid. read more

Great place with gracious host! If I had the ability to give it six stars I would have. It was exactly as it was advertised, very clean, very organized. We loved it! Will definitely be staying there in El Cerrito again in the future. Thank you so much for everything! read more

We stayed at the apartment within the house up in the Berkeley hills. Limor was a great host and even checked in with us mid-stay to make sure everything was going well. If you are looking for someone to manage your property for AirBnB I would recommend Book a Nook and Limor from a guest's perspective. read more

outstanding! we were so pleased with Limor's property; the house was beyond what we expected, it was clean and spacious and our experience with Book a Nook was great. From the minute i contacted her to enquiry about the house she was quick to respond and very helpful. I am definitely contacting her again for our trips to the bay area. Five Stars read more

A friend of mine and her daughter stayed in a very nice room in Limor's house, and were treated to a wonderful experience. Highly recommended! read more

We booked a home in the Berkeley Hills, and arrived after dark. Finding the address was impossible without a flashlight. Limor and Book a Nook we're very responsive, and helped us with a tricky door key. They checked in periodically during our visit to make sure things were good. Home was as advertised and we really enjoyed the accommodations. Do recommend Limor and Book-a-Nook. read more

We rented their romantic getaway home in Cobb, CA. This place exceeded my expectations and was perhaps the best Air BnB experience I've ever had. I just have to write a review to thank my kind and generous hosts, who not only was thorough in communication, but also left us a gift basket with snacks and a beautiful card. Their place is immaculately decorated and very clean. Perfect size for a couple or family of three to spend the weekend or longer! Also private enough for romantic getaways. Lots of books and movies to occupy quiet moments. Just an absolute gem! read more

Limor assisted us in renting our home while we were away at the holidays. Our entire experience with Book a Nook was superlative. She helped us to prepare our home for photos, presented an extremely attractive listing, and took care of all the small details so that our experience as hosts was completely worry-free. The guest had all of her questions answered, and Limor checked in on her daily while she stayed in our home. We returned to a spotless house and made money to offset our vacation. We are so impressed with Book a Nook that we are planning another rental during our next vacation. Book a Nook removes all the anxiety from renting your space. I cannot recommend Limor and her company more highly! Thank you, Book a Nook! read more

Book a Nook manages my Airbnb listing when I'm out of town. They do a great job, check on my kitty, keep everything perfect, follow-up with guests, and my guests love the attention. read more

We booked a vacation rental in Albany, CA managed by Book A Nook last month (via AirBnB) and were very happy. When the first few properties I was interested in were not available during our dates, Limor was helpful in recommending a few other options that would be kid-friendly (we have two young kiddos). The home we rented was clean, well-stocked and Limor and her assistant Rose were both easy to communicate with and super-responsive. FWIW we had no problems with deposits at the end of our rental. Granted, we are pretty clean and meticulous about leaving rentals in the same (or better) condition. Would recommend booking through them if you're needing a place to stay in the Bay Area. read more

I have known Limor on a personal level for several years. She has helped me to be a great BNB host and been a tremendous resource on how to do it "right." I say right because all of her suggestions make my guests feel like they are at home. Thanks, Limor! read more

Limor, Thank you for the opportunity to stay in this great studio with my puppy. It was perfectly located with the dog park and Costco less than a mile, and also being so close to the 2 interstates helped me get around the Bay Area with ease. The studio had everything that was needed, and the backyard was a haven. The room was very comfortable for the time spent. (please note the coffee maker didn't work the 2nd day, 1st day it didn't work properly-the coffee didn't drain into pot properly & the exhaust fan in bath didn't work). But those were very minor to me, since I had a coffee pot with me). read more

I had the opportunity to stay at this location and I absolutely loved it. The place was super clean, super quiet, and very very comfortable. The morning view is priceless and I often found myself just hanging out in the backyard in front of the outdoor fireplace. (that's right outdoor fireplace) I would recommend this place to everyone. Great place and great customer service. read more

My experience with Limor and Book a Nook was nothing short of exemplary. She is professional, attentive and the home was delightful. Exactly as conveyed in advertisement. We had several questions, of which were responded to quickly and completely. Will definitely use Limor and Book a Nook again! Thanks Limor! read more

"As good as it gets" isn't even good enough. Limor and her staff were EXCEPTIONAL in making this one of the best AirBnB rental experiences I've ever had. Not only was this property in a pristine and magical setting - with breathtaking views of San Francisco and the Bay area - but the residence itself was beyond my expectations. Spacious yet humble and quaint, the Craftsman Mission Lovechild is a classic American bungalow nestled in the Berkeley Hills, surrounded by dense trees and lush foliage. The landscaping is beautiful, the decor and layout of the home warm and inviting. The location is also convenient to Tilden's humble shops and restaurants, Indian Point Park's majestic views (a must-see destination that's walkable from the house), and the bustling row of five-star gourmet foodie destinations on Solano. I never had a bad meal, and explored some of the local pubs as well. The BART stations are also a stone's throw away, so you can access everything the Bay Area has to offer via public transit. Limor was a shining example of service; when I had an issue with the lockbox, she responded almost immediately to help resolve the issue. The following day, her assistant called me just to check in. Who does that? I'll tell you who: people who are passionate and committed to their work - people who care deeply about their customers and the experience they have. Kudos to the team at Book A Nook for raising the bar on how an AirBnB or VRBO should work; you are an inspiring example of how good it can be, and I'll definitely be booking through you again in the future. read more

Our stay in this Berkeley home for a Christmas family reunion was wonderful. We had plenty of room (and bathrooms-very important) for kids and adults alike. The location just blocks from the "gourmet ghetto" was ideal. There was also easy access to transportation. All in all, a wonderful vacation! read more

Totally had a great experience! The house was very cozy, clean, and the outside garden was beautiful. We had one issue with the upstairs shower and they took care of it right away. At first I was concerned about the area, but it was not only quiet, it also felt very safe. I would definetly book with Limor again. read more

Book a Nook manages our airbnb listing when we are out of town. They helped us to stage the house so that it looked beautiful in photos, helped us to write the listing, and helped us to leave the house looking great for guests. So we ended up getting all 5 stars on our property! Limor communicates gracefully and quickly, always making communication easy. I just wish we had more properties to list with Book a Nook! read more

Used this service to book a week long stay in Berkeley Heights off the beaten path. "Vision Quest" exceeded our expectations, clean, quiet, safe and nicely appointed. If you need all the frills stay at a chain, but if you want some bay area charm & character then this place is perfect. The views stretching down towards the bay, with the SF skyline and GG Bridge were absolutely stunning. Awoke each morning to birds singing outside the windows, and fog wafting around the redwoods, making it difficult to get out of a very comfortable bed. Our choice included a queen bed, plenty of closet space, full bath and kitchenette. We had off street parking and access to a washer/dryer. It was a short drive or walk to countless restaurants, supermarkets and other services. Had a brief chat with the owners who were incredibly gracious hosts. The property Manager Limor was always responsive to our emails both prior to arrival and while we were on the ground, which was both helpful and reassuring Have stayed in many AirBnB locations, and would definitively try this one again, all 84 steps! read more
