Hello, I'm Christina welcome to your potential home away from home!

This is a warmly furnished 2 bedroom home (queen beds) with fully stocked kitchen and linens provided and new energy efficient washer/dryer, 46 inch Sony TV, Wifi for all your mobile devices (no computer provided though). Perfect home for a family as it's across from a park with a playground and has a very large yard with 6 foot privacy fence and bbq.

Close walk to everything you'll need including the (made famous by Top Chef and the food network) Berkeley Bowl!
A little longer stroll of 1.5 miles to campus.
SF is very accessible as well. 10 minute non rush hour drive to downtown SF or 17 minute Bart ride from Ashby to Powell at union square. Close to Bart and bus lines.

It is extremely important for me to find people who will love and respect my home as if it were their own. I do require a nice phone conversation of all potential visitors so we can get to know each other a little, I believe we both need to feel very comfortable and secure with each other and our mutual decision to share our home.

                        This was a beautiful place to stay on our trip to Berkeley. Cute,homey, clean with everything provided to make staying here as easy as to be in our own home. Easy to get to down town Berkeley and easy drive to San Francisco. Great place to rent with children of any age or not. Fenced in yard, private and great for a cookout. Park across the street with community center, basketball courts and baseball fields and pleanty of out door space to run, walk and play. The owner stayed in touch and made herself avalible to answer questions and help in any way. We are happy we stayed here and would love to do so again!!

                        The house was comfy and just right for us, my daughter and son inlaw and two year old grandson The house was welcoming and clean. Owner even left a notebook with helpful suggestions..even a listing of nearby eateries! Be sure to try Breads of India, Barneys Burgers and Noah's Bagels. It os also very close to the Shby Bart station, a great help. Downtown Berkeley is a fast drive. My daughter enjoyed that, as she is a Cal grad It is a good house for families, close to everything, with a great park just across the street. The owner was attentive, and fast to act when I called with a minor problem

                        I stayed in this lovely Berkeley home for an entire summer and had a wonderful experience. From the cups of coffee I drank at the cute table in the backyard near gorgeous rosebushes and a lemon tree, to the glasses of wine I enjoyed on the couch in the cozy living room, to the quiet bedrooms (with HUGE closets!), I couldn't have asked for a better long-term sublet experience. And, of course, I loved the modern washer and dryer, the easy street parking, the park with tennis courts across the street, the easy access to the best parts of Oakland and Berkeley and to San Francisco, and the friendly neighborhood. Thank you!

                        I needed a place to stay in SF hen I took a short job assignment back in '0/10. I had a small dog and so I didn't want to pay for a pet friendly place downtown. Christina met my dog, Max, and allowed me to rent her house w/ him. It was very handy having the park right outside our front door! Plus we were walking distance to food, coffee shops, post office, corner markets, etc. And a short drive to downtown Berkeley. You can even walk to the Bart! Max and I had a great stay at Christina's house. The house is painted cheerfully and it gets great sunlight. I'd rent from her again if I had to go back to SF for work.

                        I have recently lived here from January to the end of June and it is a fantastic spot. It's a 15 minute bike ride to the Ashby Bart station. About the same amount of time to the berkeley bowl on foot. It's a short drive to UC Berkeley. It is not too far in from the major freeway (I-80) as well. So, if you have a car you can hop right on the freeway and head out to where you need to go. Also, there's plenty of street parking right in front of the house. Inside of the house is great. All the amenities has everything you need. You pretty much just need to bring clothes and toiletries and you're set. Also, on a nice sunny day the house gets a lot of natural sunlight which really brings the house to life. The backyard is a nice spot for quiet and relaxing to read a book, have a small get together for a BBQ or a tea party, or just to soak in some sun. I don't know what else to say about this house. I really enjoyed my stay for 6 months here while I was working in San Francisco. And if I ever get called back to work up in San Francisco again I will definitely try to stay here again.

                      Owner info

                      Year Purchased: 2004

                      About the owner: Hello, I'm Christina. I am a visual effects artist in the film industry. Unfortunately these past few years there hasn't been as much work in the bay area so I find myself living overseas or in LA for most if not all year.

                      Why the Owner Chose Berkeley:
                      I used to rent in SF, but when it came to buy I really wanted a neighborhood with space, easy parking, a huge yard (I grew up on a farm in Iowa so having green private space is dear to me) and a feeling of community. While at the open house I met some of the neighbors and instantly felt like yup, this is my new hood. It's been incredible seeing the growth since I've moved in. Even during this recession new cafe's are popping up on San Pablo every time I come back to visit which is great to have more and more walkable options.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      lemons, lemons, lemons! My tree is crazy all year round and I can give you a killer easy microwave lemon curd recipe! I truly love the happy energy from living across from a park. Some people may not like the afternoon noise, but seeing bouncy castle parties, soccer games, kids playing basketball, it really makes me happy. And the nice thing is at night it's very quiet, the police even have the park on their regular beat so to keep any hooligans from causing a raucous. I love their presence and their dedication to keeping the park a wonderful safe place for the neighborhood families to really enjoy. You will more than likely have my neighbor David holler a hello, he's wonderful about meeting people. I even had one family living here that became friends, and their children helped him plant his garden and even cried when they had to leave. very sweet. I have had such wonderful luck at finding incredible people to live in my house in the past, people I now consider friends. I truly hope that trend continues and maybe add you to that list.
