About this property

Roomy Studio Walkable to UC Berkeley w/parking

This cozy studio apartment is conveniently located near UC Berkeley campus. Perfect for students or faculty, the apartment offers immediate access to the university and nearby amenities. The studio is compact yet comfortable, featuring a full bathroom, kitchenette, bed and desk. One of the key advantages of this studio is the included parking spot, a highly sought-after feature in this busy area.

This newly remodeled studio will provide you a comfortable place to stay on the ground floor of a well kept Craftsman home in the Elmwood. Care has been taken to design an aesthetically pleasing environment for you to relax and enjoy your visit.

PLEASE NOTE ***The family who owns the house lives upstairs and has 2 boys. Footsteps and movement will most likely be heard anytime after 7am. It`s important guests be aware of this.***

The studio is equipped with coffee/tea service as well as a refrigerator and a microwave. There is a corner store a block away where you can purchase other items you many need. Because there is no kitchen, you will need to wash dinnerware in the bathroom sink.

The studio also has a gas fireplace with remote, perfect for cold evenings. And the TV is equipped with Roku TV for you to login with your own password. There is no cable TV.

There is wifi at the house and a nice work area if you need to get some work done at the house.

HOT WATER: Due to the attic location of the water heater, it takes 3-5 min for the water to heat up in the sink and shower. Please be aware of this.

All guests are required to sign a rental agreement and follow the House Rules. We truly appreciate your understanding—this added step helps protect our home, especially after a few past experiences with guests that resulted in lost time and unexpected costs.

Guests have their own access and are able to lock and secure the door to their room. No space is shared with the owners. The Studio is completely private.

Our goal is to provide you a clean and comfortable space without intruding upon your privacy. We will send access instructions prior to your arrival and are always available should you need us during your stay.

You may meet the owners of the studio and their two delightful children when you`re coming and going, but sometimes with busy schedules your paths may not cross.

The Elmwood neighborhood is very safe and loaded with charm. From the studio, you can walk to UC Berkeley Campus, performances at the Greek Theater, and shops, cafés and restaurants. Not to mention the hiking trails up the street with amazing views. Downtown Berkeley is a longer walk or a quick car ride.

Lyft and Uber are very easy and accessible from this location.

On the corner of Derby St. and College Ave. you can take the #51 bus North to UC Berkeley Campus or South to the Rockridge neighborhood and BART.

Rockridge BART station is about 1.4 miles down College Ave. from the studio and about a 20-30min walk. On BART you can head further East or you can take it West to San Francisco.

The shower is tiny, can barely fit one person + bath room sink has no hot water. Based on instructions, we suppose to be quite after 10pm, but our next room people either talking or have their TV on until 2-3 am making us hard to sleep most of the nights when we were there

First the good - the room was pleasant, large for what it was, clean, and in a great location.Now the bad - the toilet did not work the entire time I was there (2 nights)! Did not flush once. The property management service got a plumber in right away, but I still had to alter my plans. Didn't want to do that again on such a short trip, so I literally had to use the toilet like an outhouse. The host did not offer any kind of refund. Also, there was television noise from somewhere else in the house until 11 pm.

We did issue the guest a full refund. Her review is false. We sent a plumber over immediately on a Saturday night. The guest never said that the toilet was still having problems. She didn't tell us the toilet wasn't functioning correctly until the day she checked out. That's her fault she was using the toilet like an outhouse. If she had told us it wasn't working I would have called the plumber out again. Leaving us a bad review when she didn't tell us is not right and lying and saying we didn't issue her a refund because we did. Wouldn't recommend this guest to any other host.
