About this property

Convenient walk to UC, Haas, MSRI, Simons and Goldman School. Historic home.

  • One bedroom/ one bath apartment in an historic 1924 home situated in the beautiful Berkeley hills overlooking San Francisco Bay. This flat includes a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, microwave, stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. The bedroom is large, with a queen size bed and beautiful views. The bathroom, which includes a shower/ no tub, is accessible through the bedroom as well as a separate hall from the living room. The living room has a queen-size sofa bed and a flat screen TV. Cable and wifi are included. The apartment has its own washer/dryer.

    The apartment is accessed down a flight of steps through a locked gate. An intercom allows the guest to open the gate for guests with the push of a button.
    On-street parking is plentiful. Some guests chose to purchase daily parking passes but this is entirely optional.

    The unit has an entrance directly onto a garden that was designed by the Berkeley landscape designer Keeyla Meadows. It's pretty wonderful! With fruit trees, roses, and California native plants.

As nice as I've ever seen!

I've stayed in about a dozen Airbnb or VRBO rentals over the past few years and this is without a doubt my favorite of all. Located in a beautiful Berkeley neighborhood, the unit was large, clean and opened into a patio with paths leading to a very nice garden area on the lower part of the property. I highly recommend staying here!

The best place and the kindest hosts

Just amazing. The perfect if are going to visit UC Berkeley. I always stay with Susan and Greg if possible and I have been there 4 times during 8 years. The apartment is fine and cozy, the garden with birds and squirrels and the view of the bay and SF is just wonderful. So, I hope to be back soon.

We had a great stay. The hosts were gracious. The apartment and gardens are beautiful and peaceful. The view from the house is wonderful. The primary bed is small, which we knew ahead of time, but the pullout bed turned out to be rather uncomfortable. But overall, this is a lovely place to stay.

Refreshing and Inspiring Weeklong Stay

This was a cozy, clean, and aesthetically inspiring apartment with a wonderful view and a sprawling garden. My kids (ages 9 and 13) and I stayed here nearly a week, doing all kinds of fun activities in Berkeley. I asked the 9 year old what her favorite part of the trip was, and she said cuddling up in the little book nook while looking out at the view every evening. They felt at home and did not get homesick at all--which is first!

Splendid view!

Spacious and clean one bedroom apartment with spectacular view of San Francisco, tucked on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills, only a short walk to the university. The apartment opens onto a beautifully maintained three level garden. It was a perfect spot for visiting our family who is scattered across the East Bay. Although we had little need to contact our hosts, they were readily available. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed there 4 nights. It definitely has a great view of the bay and SF! That was the highlight. It is not in a convenient location to restaurants and it sits up on a hill to where if you walk anywhere be ready to take a hike back up! We took an Uber to wherever we needed to go. For a reason I will not divulge, I simply could not give it a good cleanliness rating. It should have been taken care of if things were being cleaned well!!!

Wonderful stay in Berkeley hills

Beautiful garden and apartment. Well equipped for a stay with laundry and kitchen facilities and a book library. Note that's quite a walk up a steep hill from Berkeley so you need to be fit or else have your own vehicle or use Uber. A great introduction for us to America. Susan is a friendly helpful host and the view to the city is stunning.
