About this house rental

Nestled in Berkeley, this lovely house for $220 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. We, your hosts, are a married couple; Margarita is a business owner, Bob is a physician. Our children are grown and have moved out and our place is underutilized as we spend a lot of time in Santa Cruz. We'd like to offer our Berkeley home to you as a short term rental.. The house is spacious and well equipped and there is ample outdoor space for spending time with friends or family with social distancing. We have a 7 night minimum but may at times accept shorter stays The home has two bedrooms and one bath as well as a living room, a dining room, a pantry, and a breakfast nook. There is plenty of privacy. When we are in Berkeley we stay in back in a cottage. We enter via a driveway and would not be close to you when we stay in Berkeley. Please note that the City of Berkeley charges a 14% tax for short term rentals.. If you rent our home for fewer than 14 nights you will need to pay this directly to us and we will forward it to the city. There is no tax for longer stays. We have a zoning certificate - # ZCSTR2017-0022. The normal rent is $220.00 / night. During certain times of the year (Thanksgiving, Xmas, and most dates in May (University of Berkeley graduation) the rate is $250.00 / night This rate for two guests. There is a charge of $20.00 / night for any additional guests. The maximum number of guests is four. Our house is meticulously maintained, clean, airy, and fully equipped. It is located on a tree-lined street in what is generally considered to be one of the most desirable areas of Berkeley, close to wonderful restaurants, shops, and walking streets. Our place is perfect for visiting scholars, scientists, business or creative people and for tourists who prefer the peace and quiet of this lovely East Bay city. Many of our guests have been people with children and grandchildren or other relatives or friends in the area. There is easy and fast access to downtown San Francisco via public transportation; bus and BART stations are in walking distance from our house. Parking is on the street but is not a problem - often you can park directly in front of the house. No sticker is needed. Occasionally parking might be a half block or at most 1 block away Keywords:

We had a wonderful, restorative stay at this charming home. The property is meticulously maintained and outfitted with everything we needed. It is convenient to great markets, interesting restaurants and the surrounding neighborhood has many beautifully landscaped yards that make walks a treat. Our hosts were welcoming, friendly, and very communicative. We were sad to leave and look forward to visiting again. Thanks!

We immediately felt at home in this beautiful home. The owners had thought of every detail to make our five week stay a five star experience. The back porch made it possible to entertain outdoors to avoid exposure to covid etc. The neighborhood is ideally situated to enjoy Berkeley highlights like Monterey Market, Gourmet Ghetto, the Rose Garden, Solano Ave, and Tilden Regional Golf Course. Plus Sonoma and Napa are an easy day trip. We look forward to returning!

This is a lovely home in a quiet, leafy neighborhood, convenient to the many restaurants and cafes along Solano Ave. The Bart train is nearby, which takes you in and out of San Francisco. Grocery markets, including the fabulous Brooklyn Bowl, are also a short drive away. In general, this is a wonderful spot to explore the best of the Bay area.

The craftsman style of this house made me feel right at home, since I grew up in one...it was perfect for two of us, and up to four would be comfortable if you don't mind sharing a bathroom. The kitchen is small, but the breakfast nook added space. Living room furniture and beds were very comfortable and everything was very well stocked. Terrific formal dining room. Most importantly, the location was almost perfect for our purposes: lots of shops, cafes and restaurants in walking distance or a very short drive away, including the wonderful Monterey Market (probably one of the better produce markets in California, if not in the US) and even better Monterey Fish Market. Street parking only but we never had problems parking either directly in front of the house or right across the street. We used BART several times to go to San Francisco: the North Berkeley station is about a mile away and not a difficult walk, although on the weekends parking in the BART lot is free and easy. Bus ilnes stop very close to the house. Highly recommended and I would (will!) go back in a heart beat.

Perfect location to explore Berkley. Close to Solano, Monterey Market (top), to Shattuck Avenue (you can go by foot to Chez Panisse – still wow). By car a few minutes to downtown an the University ... House is very clean. There is a nice little Porch and the Kitchen is topp! Safe Place. Nice Neighborhood.
