About this property

Quiet Berkeley Bungalow

This pleasant bungalow near downtown Berkeley is located on a quiet street and can accommodate up to four guests if two of them use the queen size fold out sofa in the room off the kitchen.
The remodeled kitchen is a nice place to enjoy meals and linger over coffee or a glass of wine. The claw foot bath tub has been replaced with a walk in shower that includes hand rails. On a warm day you can have lunch at the picnic table in the garden.
Since this is my primary residence, I only rent it when I travel.

Comfortable, clean house in a quiet neighborhood of Berkeley. Host had great communication throughout the stay. Wifi was strong enough for my remote work. Highlight of the stay was the neighbor's cat paying us a visit!

A very lovely home in perfect condition and close to downtown Berkeley. A coffee shop was only 2 or 3 blocks away and a wonderful Indian restaurant.The street was lovely.Easy walking distance to downtown Berkeley with its many shops and restaurants. Restaurants were first rate.We could walk to the downtown BART station although as we are older it was a little challenging. We did walk there 3 or 4 times.Great spot

Memorable Berkeley Stay!

Loved Cathy's place, so full of light and charm. Amazing backyard, beautiful wood accents throughout the home, and my favorite, a claw-foot tub where I spent many hours just soaking in the peace and tranquility of this sweet home. Neighborhood is funky Berkeley, with great neighbors and cafes nearby (try Cafe Trieste one San Pablo) a Berkeley institution. Oh, and did I mention the well-equipped kitchen and two giant redwoods next door? Also a working fireplace which I had hoped to use, but we experienced a heat wave in October, so not necessary! I highly recommend Cathy's place!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Nyhan

Host profile image

Hi, I am a retired librarian who enjoys travel, mainly to Italy where my sister lives in Florence. In addition to Tuscany, I am particularly in love with the island of Sardinia.
I also like to work with my hands and make art quilts, love to bake and cook meals for friends, go wine tasting, swim, read and see films. This past couple of year I have learned how to brew my own beer.
I have stayed in some wonderful homes in my travels so try to replicate these positive experiences as a host.
