Street parking is available and free on weekends, limited Mon-Fri to two hours parking from 8am till 6pm (car has to be moved between 10am and 4pm). Unrestricted parking is available a few blocks away on Brookside Ave (east of Claremont Ave), Hillcrest Road and Uplands. Public laundry facilities are available in the neighborhood. More information available in the Guest-guide. The owner and staff will interact with you as much as you need. We are very responsive team. The owner would love to meet you if it's convenient, and she will be happy to give you any information you request. We may have full privacy if that is your preference. Our goal is to make your stay at our cottage as pleasant as it can be, so that you will come back and will recommend us to your loved ones. *** Here is one of our previous guest's review: *** I had a wonderful experience during the couple of months I spent in Ellen's cottage. Let me tell you why: First, the cottage is nicely arranged and composed; fully equipped and with a very comfortable bed! Then, the neighborhood is peaceful and the proximity to campus without being in the crowd, plus public transports and stores is enjoyable. Finally, not only Ellen has a great experience of life and sense of humor to share but she can also speak many languages and will be delighted to help you. Guillaume G. ***

Good apartment in a good neighborhood, expensive of course, but neat, well-maintained houses. Studio is very clean and cheerful. The bed takes a little getting used to, since it's a Murphy bed, so you're oriented sideways. The only real complaint would be the lukewarm shower. Otherwise, very nice.

Overall, this rental is in a pretty neighborhood at a wonderful location near BART, a Safeway and lots of coffee shops and restaurants.
However, hot water, heat, nice pillows, a functioning toilet and doors that lock are pretty essential items.
None of those things were present during my stay. In fact, one night it was so cold that I checked into a hotel so I could take a shower and get a good night's sleep.
I hope that the owner is able to do some repairs and upgrades. Otherwise, I would not stay there again and would recommend that others "pass" on this place.

We loved the property. Beautiful and peaceful. Great place for short stay like a weekend or couple of days. However we were there in two weeks! The bed is not what I expected. My husband and I are tall and the Murphy bed is short. Overall our stay was good.

I booked this place for my parents and it was perfect. The place was super cute (as advertised), the coffee was great. They really enjoyed the little outside seating area for reading and/or snoozing. Both the host and the owner went above and beyond helping my mom locate her lost purse, which was a huge help and greatly appreciated. My parents report that they would love to come back.

Great location enabled us to get to Berkeley quickly and easily. Smaller unit worked well given we were out and about for most of our weekend. Side entrance made it easy-in, easy-out as well. Would stay here again.

This place is quite small, but it was wonderful for my one-person stay. Everything is as shown in the listing. The place is separate from the main house, but it’s very private and quiet. What a gem!
I want to add that the neighborhood is great. It’s a short block’s walk to the Claremont/College shopping area, where you can find just about anything you want.

This property was so tiny that the double bed had to fit in sideways. It was inaccurately described on the VBRO web page as being in Piedmont (which is one reason we rented it). There was no hint on that page that room is barely 150 sq ft. (Though the patio is nice.) We have traveled the world, and found ourselves from time to time in small hotel rooms, but this casita took the prize. Rather than stay the second night, we decamped to a hotel.
