About this property

Sunny Berkeley 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house near BART (subway)

Our beautifully remodeled 3 bedroom/2 Bath Craftsman house has period details and built-ins and is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. We have a sunny kitchen with a dining room over looking our backyard and deck. We are only 5 blocks (10 minutes walking) to BART (the local subway), 1.8 miles to the University of California, Berkeley, and 10 miles to San Francisco. We occasionally rent our house on HomeAway (VRBO) but we have rented our house on other apps for many years and have "Superhost" status.

There are 3 bedrooms. Two bedrooms have Queen beds. One bedroom has a double bed and an extra twin mattress on request. We also have a couch in the living room that folds down into a bed

There is a full kitchen with an induction stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer, toaster, coffee maker, blender, waffle maker, pots, pans and dishes. Spices flour, sugar, etc. The yard is filled with flowers and plants and makes for a enjoyable place to gather with friends and family. We have high speed internet (100 mbps) and wifi.

Guests may use the piano and our Sonos sound system. There are two Smart TVs with Roku. no cable TV. You can use our Netflix account. You may also log into your own accounts like Hulu. Just remember to log out of your own accounts before you leave.

The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We are less than a mile from the famous Berkeley Bowl grocery store which offers acres of organic produce. There are also coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and the Ashby Stage (our local theater company) within a mile walking distance.

As mentioned we are close to the subway system and with it you can get to downtown Berkeley in 2 minutes or to San Francisco in 20 minutes. There is a bus stop one block away. Uber or Lyft (phone apps) are a way to get cheap taxi rides within 5 minutes. It is a pleasant half-hour walk to downtown Berkeley, located 1.5 miles away. There is easy access to Highway 80 (1.2 miles away) if you want to drive to San Francisco.

There is a driveway. You do not need a permit and there are no time limits on our street.

Check in is 3pm and check out is 11:00 a.m.

Perfect for us!

The house was just as described. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfy, the outdoor space is nice, it's a close walk to BART stop and Berkeley Bowl. Very nice, very Berkeley style house.

Excellent location and amenities!!

Loved the location... So near to the Bart station and highway but still tucked away enough to feel not on the beaten path. Loved the fully stocked kitchen... We didn't enjoy end up spending much time outside due to the chilly weather but the outside space seemed great! Perfect for this family of 5.

Great Place

My family (4 adults 2 children) stayed here and had a great time. The place was cheery, comfortable, and kids friendly, if not the cleanest. Also we ran out of toilet paper and paper towels. The caretaker didn’t get back to us when we texted about this, and she brought them by at night, after we had already gone to buy them.

Perfect in every way

The house was so perfect for our family of 5! The mattresses were really good ones, which for a two week stay really matters. We lived on the wonderful deck off the back of the house and ate all our meals there. The space is ideal for hanging out and relaxing: from the comfy couches for the kids to binge watch movies, to the hammock in the backyard, to the kitchen well suited for all our cooking (Berkeley Bowl is within walking distance, so we went crazy!) It is also walking distance to a great Iyengar yoga studio (Adeline) and the Berkeley Zen Center for sitting meditation. From the moment we walked in the door, I felt utterly comfortable and at home. We loved all the flowering trees and also appreciated being able to quickly walk to the BART. The house was super clean and better provisioned than any other rental we've ever had. Julie was totally responsive. I can't say enough great things about this home, location, and ambiance.

Great house, loved location.

We really had an excellent stay at this house. We stay with two other couples, total 6 people. Beds and rooms very comfortable. We cooked meals and there was plenty of room at the table inside and on the outside deck. We really enjoyed staying at this house and would do it again.

Cute Craftsman house.

The owners obviously live here. It is not spiffed up as a sterile rental but it is a comfortable home. Owners are obviously very concerned about the environment. No paper towels, no disposable plastic bags or foil. BUT, if you want to enjoy Berkeley as a local, this is for you. Expect miss-matched towels cabinets of interesting spices, original Craftsman detailing, juicers, mismatched pots. You know, a laid back, comfy home, not a sterile house.

Beautiful house, well laid out for nice family time, cooking and gaming.

We had a lovely time as a family, complete with grandparents and cousin. We were there to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Berkeley and the ease of access to the campus as well as to SFO and beyond made the location extra convenient. Highly recommend this place.
