About this property

Lovely Studio w / private entrance

Our charming one bedroom one bath studio space is completely private and located on the bottom floor of our Berkeley home. We've spared no expense to make this the ideal retreat for business travelers and U.C. Berkeley visitors.

The Space:

This beautifully decorated room is comfortable and very quiet. Features include a California King bed, a cozy reading chair, a desk for those needing to work during their stay, and a flatscreen TV with cable and high speed Internet access. The bedroom also features a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot and a tea kettle. While staying with us, you'll have your own private full-bath located next to your room.


Guest Access:

Private separate entrance to bottom floor of home. Plenty of free on street parking.

Interaction with Guests:

We're busy professionals running a business from our home, so you won't see much of us during your stay. We'll be happy to greet you upon your arrival, show you around the space and answer any questions you may have while you're here.

The Neighborhood:

Quiet tree-lined established residential neighborhood on the border of North Berkeley and Albany. Solano Avenue is located one block away. You'll find a grocery store, several banks, a post office, coffee shops, bars and dining options ranging from high-end to grab and go.

Getting Around:

Walking distance to restaurants and shops on Solano Ave. (1 block away). One mile from North Berkeley BART (access to the whole Bay Area). Two miles from Downtown Berkeley and the U.C. Berkley campus. Easy highway access to Downtown Oakland and San Francisco.

Other Things to Note:

While you're living space is separate from the rest of the house, please know that we do have a dog upstairs (she never goes downstairs) and she's very quiet, but you'll most likely not encounter her during your stay.

This is a very comfortable, spotless studio that meets every traveler's needs. The owners have thought of everything you will need for your stay, including cold water in the fridge upon arrival, fluffy robes, slippers, heaters/fans, an umbrella, basic kitchen needs, books and more. The grocery store one block up and one block over has a decent prepared foods section, so you will not need to eat out if you don't want too. I arrived during a September heatwave in Berkeley, and the room was cool and comfortable. The host, Laura, is so gracious. You will not be disappointed!

Great place near good food and Berkeley

This was a great place for me to stay four nights while visiting the Berkeley and Kensington areas. Solano Avenue is one block away and has just about any food you could ask for. You can even walk to downtown Berkeley since it is relatively flat area and less than 2 miles away. Laura was great and check in and check out was extremely simple. Parking on Marin was easy. Overall, I highly recommend.

Beautiful VRBO in Berkeley

Great location, spotlessly clean and Laura was a great host. The bed and pillows were comfy and she provided info for things to do in the area. The coffee pot & microwave made it easy to have a quick breakfast. 5 stars!
