Perfect home, host, and neighborhood
My husband and I stayed at this lovely home for one month while visiting our sons.
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood of nice homes and gardens. It is a short walk or drive to the grocery store, shops and restaurants and easy access to the Bart. The apartment is spacious and immaculate and the furnishings are lovely. Each room is large including the two bedrooms, the living room, the dining room and the kitchen, and the outside covered porch is a gem. The host Maura is a very nice, accommodating and dedicated to making sure that your stay is going well. I would highly recommend this perfect rental and we felt very fortunate to find such an ideal place.
Great period property in excellent walkable location - close to College Ave
We came from France, stayed here for 4 months and had a great time. This property is large and the rooms are also. We walked up to College Avenue at night for dinner some evenings, or took an Uber to San Francisco. We did not have a car and didn't need one. The area is very friendly, safe and walkable. The neighborhood is beautiful with large period homes and tree-lined streets. We loved walking home at night after eating at one of the many restaurants and standing in line at Ici for gourmet ice cream. It's worth waiting for. Fantastic area close to campus - we were at Hass business school several days a week and it was so easy to get to from house.
The area where the house is located is very quiet. It is a an area that is tucked in and closed off to passing traffic so we enjoyed peaceful nights. The owner was very accommodating and helped us with anything we needed or questions we had.
We met American and European professors who were staying here at the same time we were. We got to meet a lot of interesting people in the neighborhood and in Berkeley. We wish we could have had more time to stay and may come back to visit next year!
Heavenly Stay !!!
GREAT AMAZING PLACE !!!!
AMAZING GRACIOUS HOST !!!
Can say enough about how wonderful our stay was.
The property is so welcoming you feel immediately at ease and relaxed.
Maura is an amazing host. Welcomed me and made sure all was great our entire stay.
We will be back !!!!

Enjoyed my stay
I`ve been living here for four weeks with 6 other students. The second floor at the house is perfect for several people, and its been enough space for 7 students.
The house has two big bedrooms with comfortable beds! The air condition was a blessing, and the kitchen has a lot of supplies for those who like to cook!
We have everything we need in the house, and the neighbourhood is safe with nice neighbours.
Maura has been very helpful when we needed her.
I`ve enjoyed my stay and recommend it o other people!

Lovely house and neighbourhood
I have stayed in this beautiful house for a month now, and I have really enjoyed the stay. Lovely neigbourhood and great location near restaurants, Safeway, Telegraph street and the BART station. The house had all the equipment i needed, and a lot of space. Maura was very helpful whenever we needed her. I wish I could come back here one day. I truly recommend this house to other people. Thanks for the stay!
Lovely home!
Travelling from Norway and stayed here for a month. Such a lovely home, and Maura was great. Close to everything I needed; grocery store, shopping, restaurants, cinema, BART station, bus and UC Berkeley. And what I loved the most was the safe and nice neighbourhood. Hope I can come back and stay here next time I'm back in Berkeley.

North you will find Marin beaches, Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods - 20 minutes across the Golden Gate Bridge, and beyond that Stinson Beach 40 mins, and Inverness, one hour, and beyond there, Bolinas, Jenner and Bodega Bay. Yosemite is approximately 3 hours and it is best to reserve well in advance if you plan to visit
