Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Beautiful, spacious Craftsman home with wonderful backyard located in one of the SF Bay Area's most desirable neighborhoods. The house is walking distance to many terrific restaurants, cafes, shops, and very accessible to hiking in the Berkeley hills. Public transportation to Oakland or San Francisco is close by and it is a pleasant 10 minute walk to UC Berkeley. The three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home has one king, one queen, and one double bed and can accommodate up to 5 people, age 12 and over!

The space
This well appointed, warm and inviting two-story home has, on its first floor, an eat-in kitchen with adjoining seating area, an office that faces the back yard, a dining room with a round table that can seat up to 8, a spacious living room, and a half bathroom. On the second floor are three bedrooms, two full baths, and a washer dryer.

The backyard is landscaped and maintained by a gardener. It includes a two-level deck with both eating and sitting area, a gas grill, as well as a ground level sitting area.

Guest access
The entire house and backyard are available for guests. Parking for one car is in the driveway. If you have a second car, you will need to figure out where to park it due of restrictions on street parking.

Other things to note
This is my home that I rent only during the summer when I am away. It is nicely furnished and is not suitable for young children (or very messy adults), which is why I specify age 12 and over. When booking, please list the number of guests and the age of any children. Thank you!
