Across the street if the other food mecca, the Cheeseboard which serves a daily vegetarian pizza along with its bakery which serves really excellent pastries and strong coffee.

The original Peets is around the corner and a couple of blocks down the hill on Walnut and Vine. If you'd like variety, the food court on Shattuck a bit south of Vine has some excellent options. . Stroll through the nearby Farmers Market, enjoy a picnic in one of the many nearby parks, or venture out to San Francisco and beyond.

The neighborhood is very picturesque with some of the oldest houses in the city and beautiful, wild gardens. There are also many hidden paths all throughout the Berkeley hills for exploring. You can find them listed at the Berkeley Path Wanders Association website.

In addition to walking around the neighborhood, or parking your car in the carport, public transport is an easy 15 minute walk to the downtown Berkeley BART station. There are also numerous bus lines that run on Shattuck, just 4 blocks down the hill.

This VRBO was exactly what we were looking for. It’s incredibly close to the UC Berkeley campus but remains peaceful and private. The interior was very spacious and had a lovely, charming character. Every amenity we needed was included and in great condition. We would definitely stay here again!

Accurate description of a wonderful loft. Owner was delightful to work with and quickly came to my rescue with an accidentally left behind travel bag…that she noticed before we did! Be sure to walk up to the Rose Gardens when you go. Restaurants are excellent…and within walking distance, too, Highly recommend.

This was a perfect place to spend a few weeks while studying at Berkeley. The location is central to fantastic restaurants, walkable to campus, and has a beautiful deck with views of San Francisco. Check in was seamless, the studio was impeccable, and communication with the host was a breeze. 10/10.
