Quiet, Comfortable & Clean. Easy Access to SF, Berkeley, Contra Costa
Hotels give you a room; we give you a home. As locals who have been part of this neighborhood for nearly 20 years, we’ve designed this private, quiet flat to be the perfect home base. Whether you need the kitchen stocked before you arrive or have questions about the area, we are here to make your stay as smooth as possible.
The Space: Our split-level flat is set back from the street behind a lush garden filled with citrus and fig trees. The layout features ten steps at the entry and fifteen steps leading to the upstairs bedrooms. The primary bedroom features an Alpine Classic queen mattress from European Sleepworks, while the second room offers an American Leather sofa bed—it is exceptionally comfortable and feels like a real mattress. Both beds are outfitted with premium cotton linens and down or wool comforters. For maximum privacy and sleep quality, the bedrooms are separated by French doors with a light-blocking curtain, and all windows feature screens and blackout shades.
Whether you are here for work or relaxation, you’ll have gigabit fiber internet with strong Wi-Fi throughout the entire property, including the front yard.

Your in-unit washer and dryer are also fully stocked with cleaning supplies.
You are perfectly positioned near the vibrant dining and shopping scenes of Temescal and College Avenue. We are just two miles from Downtown Berkeley and three miles from Downtown Oakland. If you’re heading to San Francisco, the drive across the Bay Bridge can take as little as 12 minutes. For public transit, the Rockridge BART station is less than a mile away, offering direct access to SFO and a simple one-transfer trip to Oakland Airport.
You will have full access to the top-floor flat and the front patio, which includes a table and power outlets and wifi. For your peace of mind, the home is equipped with a smart thermostat with sensors throughout the home that balance the temperature and shut the system off if the home is vacant and water sensors in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area to detect leaks. We also have a quiet Labrador Retriever who lives on the premises but does not enter your space.
To keep the home fresh for everyone, this is a strictly smoke-free and vape-free property; any smoking must occur off-site. When it’s time to head out, checking out is simple: just close and lock the doors. No chores or extra steps are required.

Ideal location, perfect host, and great stay! Would highly recommend.
I had a perfect stay! Great location. It was quiet and near very good restaurants. Jonathan has this place dialed in, and you can tell with the attention to the detail at the property and the clear instructions in preparation for my stay. It was easy to find and was the perfect home base for our trip to the Bay.
We were very comfortable and would definitely recommend staying here. If you see it’s available, BOOK IT! You won’t be disappointed.
Beautiful, super clean space in convenient location!
I was in town to visit some friends and I found the location perfect for my stay to Oakland. The house was quiet, the bed was extremely comfortable and the space was very clean. Lots of good restaurants nearby, and surprisingly convent access to the bart (and SF). The house was well stocked and thoughtful organized. I would highly recommend booking for any trip to Oakland and I will be back.
This is the second time we have stayed here and each time has been fantastic.
The location is perfect, and it’s so quiet. It had everything we needed to feel right at home. The beds were comfortable and we were able to cook all of our meals in the well stocked kitchen, except for those we ate out at one of the many great places nearby. And Jonathan was a great host, always quick to reply to our questions and needs!
I would highly recommend staying here if it’s available, I know we will, next time we are in the area!

Thank you, Scott, for the positive review. You are welcome anytime you are in the Bay Area!
My family and I stayed here for two weeks. The place is stocked with all the creature comforts you need from kitchen utensils, cookware, blankets, laundry and room fans! Everything you could think you need and more. Property manager was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable in house and aware of fun areas nearby. Grounds were well kept and nice. Off street parking. Friendly and safe neighborhood. We will definitely be back.
My daughter and I stayed here for our first trip to California. The home is exactly as it is pictured and described. Jonathan is an excellent host who provides a lot of extras so you don't have to worry about bringing or buying a lot of necessities (soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, linens, towels, etc.). We liked the location of the house because we could take the BART into San Francisco and be there in 30 min. or we could easily drive to Sausalito, Mill Valley, Golden Gate Park, etc. You are within 15 minutes of Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, etc. so there's plenty to do! We definitely recommend driving up to Grizzly Peak and Indian Rock at sunset! Jonathan was a very attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed. Another perk was being able to park in the driveway versus street parking. We would highly recommend staying here!

Thank you Aubrey, for your kind words, and I’m glad you had a great stay!
Jonathan’s space was excellent. The bed was very comfortable and the flat had everything I needed to feel right at home. The location is very convenient, and Jonathan was very helpful in recommending a great place for dinner that had an outdoor patio. I would definitely stay here again.

Always searching for something delicious to eat. I love dessert and think it should be eaten first! I love to garden, ride my bike and visit farmers markets. Im originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of my best travel experiences have been the unexpected and I look forward to discovering something new on my next trip.
