About this property

Lovely Studio w / private entrance

Our charming one bedroom one bath studio space is completely private and located on the bottom floor of our Berkeley home. We've spared no expense to make this the ideal retreat for business travelers and U.C. Berkeley visitors.

The Space:

This beautifully decorated room is comfortable and very quiet. Features include a California King bed, a cozy reading chair, a desk for those needing to work during their stay, and a flatscreen TV with cable and high speed Internet access. The bedroom also features a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot and a tea kettle. While staying with us, you'll have your own private full-bath located next to your room.


Guest Access:

Private separate entrance to bottom floor of home. Plenty of free on street parking.

Interaction with Guests:

We're busy professionals running a business from our home, so you won't see much of us during your stay. We'll be happy to greet you upon your arrival, show you around the space and answer any questions you may have while you're here.

The Neighborhood:

Quiet tree-lined established residential neighborhood on the border of North Berkeley and Albany. Solano Avenue is located one block away. You'll find a grocery store, several banks, a post office, coffee shops, bars and dining options ranging from high-end to grab and go.

Getting Around:

Walking distance to restaurants and shops on Solano Ave. (1 block away). One mile from North Berkeley BART (access to the whole Bay Area). Two miles from Downtown Berkeley and the U.C. Berkley campus. Easy highway access to Downtown Oakland and San Francisco.

Other Things to Note:

While you're living space is separate from the rest of the house, please know that we do have a dog upstairs (she never goes downstairs) and she's very quiet, but you'll most likely not encounter her during your stay.

Comfortable space

The space was lovely with a comfortable bed and easy access. Host was very nice with great communication. Only draw backs, hot water didnt last long enough for normal shower, and could hear heavy walking up stairs early in the morning. Fresh coffee and water in fridge was very nice, beautiful home and neighborhood. Overall it was a good choice.

Great space to stay for a trip to Berkeley

Our flight was delayed arriving, but communication with the owner was very easy and we had no problem checking in. This is a very sweet studio with a spacious bathroom area, very clean, large comfy bed and bedding. The owners left coffee, plates, utensils etc to have a makeshift kitchen. Care and thought was put in to make this an excellent place to stay if visiting the area. And the location is wonderful.

easy, awesome stay

Quiet yet conveniently located for hitting SF Bay Area, including Berkeley of course, this in-law "basement" unit (really ground level, house being on a hill) is clean and well appointed. Host was attentive and responsive, the bed comfortable, the overall experience quite pleasant. Added bonus: Solano Ave.

Serenity in the city

This is the loveliest place! Laura is a wonderful host—very available and welcoming. There is a separate entrance with nice greenery to look at out the window. The room is large with a very comfortable bed, pillows and chair with ottoman. With a microwave, mini frig, kettle and TV it would be wonderful place for a long term stay. Wish I were there for long term as there was a wonderful selection of books to read.

Wonderful getaway

We traveled from Galena, il - (Chicago area) to Washington & Oregon National Parks and ended up in Berkeley to visit our son who lives there. It was so nice to unpack everything & stay there for a whole week, rather than living out of our suitcases for one or rwo nights. The studio apt. was almost like being home, we had all the comforts of home for sure! We would stay there again & recommend it to family & friends.

Private, Quiet and Clean

I stayed five nights in this lovely studio and wasn’t ready to leave. It was clean and comfortable, a warm get-away with a small fridge and a teapot so I could start the day with a small breakfast without going out. It is located in a very nice Berkeley neighborhood from which one can walk to shopping and restaurants in a couple of different directions. I hope I can return soon.

My mother in law had a wonderful stay here!

We needed a place for my mother in law to stay while visiting as our house is small and boisterous. The room was clean and comfortable with a very nice bed. My mother in law greatly enjoyed being able to retreat here after a busy day to read her book and get a good night's rest (we are up much later than she is). In the morning, she could make tea and the room has a microwave and small refrigerator so she could prepare her own breakfast. My mother in law commented on how quiet and peaceful it was. My interactions with the host were very pleasant and she wanted to do everything to make the stay a success. All in all, it is a lovely place to stay and we hope my mother in law might be able to stay again the next time she visits. Highly recommended!
