'El cuento del distrito de Elmwood en Berkeley', fue descrito por el escritor del personal de la crónica Charles Burress, en la crónica del lunes 1 de enero de 2001:
Berkeley: casi todos los barrios tienen una historia que contar, pero pocos son recordados en el largo desfile del tiempo. Pero en Berkeley, una ciudad apasionada por la protección de los vecindarios, hay un distrito tan querido por los ciudadanos que ha inspirado su propia biografía. 'Tales from the Elmwood' sirve como un pequeño museo no solo de un lugar que ha conservado el encanto clásico de una pequeña ciudad, sino también de las vidas extraordinarias que han encontrado un refugio allí ”.
La galería del libro de antiguos residentes de Elmwood abarca desde gigantes creativos como el pintor Richard Diebenkorn hasta figuras históricas como Ishi, llamado 'el último indio salvaje de América del Norte' en el subtítulo de la conocida biografía de Theodora Kroeber sobre él. Otras personas famosas han llamado hogar a Elmwood, como Jane Fonda, Eldridge Cleaver, Thornton Wilder y Tom Dunphy, mejor conocido como 'General Waste-more-land' en muchas manifestaciones contra la guerra ... '

Beautiful property in a fabulous location!
We had a wonderful stay here. Came to visit family and stayed at this house for the third time. We love it here obviously. It is a quiet, friendly, and peaceful neighborhood, and we can walk everywhere - even to dinner in the evening, theater, and UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall! The neighborhood is charming and beautiful and there are so many unique and historic properties and tree-lined streets.
Our grand-kids love the two parks that are less than a 5-minute walk from the house, and the gourmet Ici ice cream on college Avenue. (There's often a line outside.) We loved walking along college Avenue and having dinner out in the evening. Walking around campus is also one of our favorite things to do - lots of beautiful buildings, and many oaks and redwoods. We love the Faculty Club, a Julia Morgan designed building on campus, and now restaurant where we had dinner every week. We will be back again!

Beautiful home in great neighborhood close to College Avenue and campus
We found this beautiful home to be in a great area, in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood of Berkeley. The house was much larger than we expected, and we loved the open living spaces with pocket doors that divided them. We have family in Berkeley, and come out at least once a year. The location was perfect for us as it was flat and we were able to walk everywhere. Restaurants and coffee places on College Avenue were only a five minute walk through beautiful streets of old brown-shingle homes and rambling gardens. We walked to the UC Berkeley campus several days a week, enjoyed our regular visits to the Free Speech Cafe, and discovered a map and book existed (at the much loved Dalloway's Book store on college) which mapped the many oak and redwood trees on campus. We also visited a great selection of cafes on and off campus--our favorites were Cafe Nefeli on the north side, and Cafe Strada on the south side. We visited the Hearst Anthropology Museum - a must-see on campus, and also the award-winning Berkeley Art Museum in downtown Berkeley. The 27 libraries on the Cal campus are well worth visiting. Check out the Morrison and the Asian library - both stunning! We'll be back hopefully!

Perfect Bay Area Hideaway
My family and I travel A LOT...and let me say that we have rarely found a house that is so lovely, inviting, clean, well appointed, and in such a perfect neighborhood.
We could truly walk to the market and shops, plus many fabulous restaurants. (Maura has excellent suggestions, and within the house, a lovely binder filled with information about the area, including restaurants, attractions, etc.)
There is a playground up the block, so if you have little ones, this is a plus.
It is also just a quick drive to SF and many other surrounding attractions, Muir Woods, Sausalito, etc.
Maura was so accommodating for our children as well, aged 4 yrs and 15 mos. It was a wonderful treat to have not only the feeding chair, baby bathtub, baby bed, blankets, toys, and excellent books, to name some of the items provided...but, to have ones which were of such lovely quality.
Thanks, Maura, for a fun, comfortable and relaxing stay.
All best,
The Groves Family

Perfection!
Situated at the end of the street, surrounded by gardens and park benches, and a playground a stone throw away, this home could not have been more ideal for our family. The confined terrace allowed for grilling and a safe place for the kids to play outside. Our hostess’ hospitality was impeccable, and we immediately felt at home. The house was well-equipped, very clean and comfortable. To top off the perfect experience, just a few blocks away were quaint shops and delicious ice cream.

Home away from Home!
Nestled on a quiet street in the quaint and lively neighborhood of Elmwood, a charming house all bedecked in roses and passion vine awaited our arrival. We were warmly greeted by our hostess who exuded hospitality. Much to our delight we had found our "home away from home" to celebrate the marriage of our son. This Elmwood home is an architectural delight--boasting original trim and lovely built-in cupboards. We found it very clean, comfortable and cheerful, decorated in light coors reflecting the Berkeley sunlight, making it warm and cozy. It is a house of function as well as beauty. There is plenty of room for play and activity, and quality bed linens for good sleeping. The house boasts a fully equipped kitchen next to an expansive semi-formal dining room where a large table awaits good food a cheerful society of folk. we enjoyed breakfast on the private outside terrace. the location is perfect, tucked away and quiet but easy walking through lovely streets to cafes and shopping. It offered us a great place to work, to relax, and to celebrate. I whole-heartedly recommend this has the perfect spot to stay for any occasion.

House in Berkeley
We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 children. The location was fantastic, the area lovely to walk in. The house was very well equipped. Great Whole Foods Store just down the street. There was only one bathroom and the kitchen was a little crowded for two cooks but we would definitely stay there again! Maura was very helpful and made great suggestions on what to do with children and where to shop. Also helped us get a parking pass, so we did not have to move our second car every 2 hours. Our son used the garage for his rental car.

Unbelievably well appointed for traveling with children, but also luxurious
The apartment is gorgeous, wonderfully located for exploring a great area of Berkeley (and with good walking access to BART for travel into SF), and could not be better appointed for traveling with kids. The owner, Maura, actually purchased extra baby/kid gear when she learned our group would include two toddlers and two infants. The house was already stocked with toys, books, videos, a great high-chair, and a child's aerobed, but she bought two pack-n-play portable cribs, a baby bath tub, and a toddler tub for us to use. Given that she bent over backwards to make the place kid-friendly, we were amazed at how beautifully decorated it was. As other reviews have mentioned, the linens are wonderful and the beds are very comfortable. The space was big enough for six adults and four kids, and we hosted a dinner for twelve adults one evening. The washer dryer was also a huge plus for our group. Really, it couldn't have been nicer!

Fabulous home for Bay Area visitors
We rented this house for my mom for the week before our wedding. It was perfect. It was perfectly situated, the house itself was spectacular and served as the place where my mom met my future mother-in-law for the first time. We had a nice dinner with my mother, my now husband, my aunt and my future mother and sister in law. It was the perfect setting. The house was beautiful, and very well-maintained. Maura was very helpful with any questions we had about the house and area. It was exactly what we expected, clean, and in a great area. Close to College Ave. the house was close to supermarkets and shopping and movie theater.
Respuesta de VrboOwner el 23 de mar de 2020
Martina - I'm so happy to hear that the house was perfect for your wedding party from Argentina. I enjoyed meeting your mother and hope you and she will send on photos of the beautiful wedding bouquets she decorated the house with in anticipation of your wedding party. Congratulations again!

I highly recommend this rental!! If you are seeking a great pied-à-terre that has ambience, comfort, and charm with close proximity to campus, great restaurants, and shopping then check out this rental.It is tastefully furnished with new everything, including beautiful bedding, furniture, cookware, appliances (blenders, griddle, etc.), two sets of dishes, and a Bosch gas range. It is located on a dead-end street with no noisy through traffic and the neighbors are really cordial. It has Comcast cable and a color TV, even a garage and backyard for storage of bikes and boxes. The owner was very kind and made me feel at home, accommodating my every request during my visit April through June 2009. I checked out many other places but either the location or the furnishings were not first class like this one.

We stayed here whilst on a surprise visit to see my
brother and his family at the end of August last
year. The house is finished to a very high standard
in a lovely area with all you could possibly need
such as restaurants, supermarkets etc nearby. The
neighborhood is lovely. Maura the owner was very
accommodating, we traveled with a 1yr and 4yr
sold and were supplied a lovely cot and bedding for
my youngest and lots of toys and books for them to
play with. We were made very welcome and had
everything we could possibly need nothing was too
much trouble. It is in a very central location for
making day trips either by car or train, as there are
Bart stations near by. One of my favorite places for
the children is Oakland Zoo, a brilliant place! If you
have young children there is also a fantastic park
about 100yds away. I would highly recommend this
as a place to stay and hope to return in the not to
distant future!

This is a beautiful home in a prime central location.
Lots of light and space for our large family. We had
two small children with us and the owner
accommodated us with crib, and a kid AERO bed
which was a huge hit with our 4 year old, as well
as a fantastic selection of toys, puzzles, books and
videos so the kids settled right in and we relaxed!
(Everything provided was of exceptionally high
quality from toys to bedding to dinnerware.) The
beds and linens were so comfortable that we asked
the owner where we could purchase them! By far
the most comfortable beds and sheets we've ever
slept on. We loved the neighborhood, its houses,
people and history! There was so much to do that
we couldn't fit it all in, but not to be missed are
College Avenue for eating out at night (walk from
the house) and all its many varied stores. We will
be back to visit family next year, and gladly won't
search for another place to stay again as we want
to stay here. The owner's attention to detail and
kind hospitality made our stay so memorable! We
were greeted upon arrival, and our every need was
met promptly. Maura is a terrific host and Regent
House was the best vacation home we have stayed
in yet. Bart was just a short walk from the house,
and excursions to San Francisco were so
accessible and easy to get to. Loved it all. We'll be
back. Thank you!

Did not want a hotel for family holiday and have tried house lets a few times - Its always better than a hotel in my view but this house was exceptional. Really excellent decor and bed linen etc but of course what really matters is that it is a really excellent location to see all of the bay area from and indeed to see Berkeley from which has so much history. would definitely recommend the house and I think that the rates are very reasonable for what is being offered. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Also the neighbourhood is really upmarket and friendly which was so much better tahn satying on the 'high street' as we say in the uK.

Wow! What a beautiful home. This is a wonderful place to stay. Peaceful and quiet yet it's only a short stroll to the many local facilities that Elmwood/Berkeley has to offer. Steeped in history, this house and neighbourhood makes one step back in time - yet it's very 21st century comfort!
There are great restaurants, shops, bookstores and places of interest right on your doorstep.
The house and immediate area is spotless and every room looks like it was designed by an interior designer - and yet you get a very homely feel.
There was ample room for our family of 4 and the owner (who is Irish) was most helpful in getting us settled in.
Every accoutrement you could possibly need is provided - even a selection of DVD movies and CDs.
The beds are extremely comfortable (SO important when renting!!) and the linen was beautiful. We would definitely come back and are already looking at a 2010 visit. Don't hesitate with this one - it is a GEM.

Beautiful home in fabulous location
This turn-of-the-century Edwardian Colonial Revival Berkeley home is replete with wonderful architectural detail and beautiful interior design. The owner's careful attention to detail gives it the feel of a warm and loved private home rather than a place for rent. Her style and impeccable taste are evident throughout, with high-end furniture, fine-quality fabrics, and gorgeous bed linens. The colors are beautifully coordinated, sophisticated, and enhanced by the many windows and sunlight in every room. The entire space, design and mood flow seamlessly, artistically, and restfully. Additionally, there is every item needed for comfort, efficiency, and luxurious living, including a great selection of books, videos and maps, which we used regularly. Elmwood House is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, and in a wonderful historic Berkeley town called 'The Elmwood.' Within minutes of the front door are parks, shopping, cafes, restaurants, movie theater, Cal Performances, and much to see and do. This is one of my favorite places, and I try to visit as frequently as I can. Loved this home and location, and the owner (Maura) is so accommodating and welcoming. I miss my evening walks to College Avenue to eat out at the many great restaurants, and then waiting in line for the gourmet ice-cream at Ici.

Nice place for romantic getaway
I recommend this house strongly. Its in a great private location in a really upmarket area. The house itself is very well furnished and kept beautifully. The house has got a very central location and gives easy access to great restraunts and all the sites.
Highly recommended

UK Reviewer -great house to see all Bay Area from
An excellent location to see all of the bay area from. The house is really exceptional and is arranged just like a family home. Verty well decorated with really good bed linen and other nice touches. Bekely uitself was agreat experience - very friendly university town with lots of history and plenty to do if you dont feel like going much farther afield. I stayed here for only one week and am alreday planning to go back to the same place when I go to SanFrisco on business later this year - I am going to take the house for a week myself. It was that good and so much nicer than staying in a hotel..

Old world class & charm, fantastic Berkeley locale
I highly recommend this lovely home for anyone looking for a classy, spacious rental in one of Berkeley's best neighborhoods. Hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, fully stocked gourmet kitchen, luxuriously comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood, beautiful furniture, and lots of natural light through large windows. Easy walking distance to the best restaurants and shops along College Avenue. The most beautiful and well-located home-away-from-home I've ever stayed at in the Bay Area.

Charm, comfort, and close to College.
I highly recommend this rental!! If you are seeking a great pied-à-terre that has ambience, comfort, and charm with close proximity to campus, great restaurants, and shopping then check out this rental. It is tastefully furnished with new everything, including beautiful bedding, furniture, cookware, appliances (blenders, griddle, etc.), two sets of dishes, and a Bosch gas range. It is located on a dead-end street with no noisy through traffic and the neighbors are really cordial. It has Comcast cable and a color TV, even a garage and backyard for storage of bikes and boxes. The owner was very kind and made me feel at home, accommodating my every request during my visit April through June 2009. I checked out many other places but either the location or the furnishings were not first class like this one.
