Big windows, glass sliders flood the space with light, and an electric fireplace in the living area of this one bedroom in-law apartment create an open, sunny space perfect for relaxing or work, visiting UC, SF, wine country, beaches, more. The ceiling is two-stories tall, but the guest-suite is one floor. Inside stairs lead to a separate unit, not included in this listing. Short and long-term stays are welcome. The slider opens to a private deck off the living area, with table and chairs for dining, as well as chairs for relaxing. The lush garden attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and more. A full kitchen with full size appliances, including dishwasher, double ovens, make it easy to cook when not enjoying the amazing neighborhood restaurants. Double sinks and jetted tub in bathroom, healthy shower spray. Separate 48" desk, an expandable table for dining, a comfortable sofabed in living area, full size bed in bedroom. Lots of extra towels and blankets, pillows. The apartment is close to one level, but there is a step up from the living area to the kitchen, and another from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom separates the bedroom from the living area, great for guests with different body clocks or with children. The property is serene and quiet, in and out. Lockbox let's you arrive anytime and have complete privacy. Downtown San Francisco is 30-40 minutes by car, an express bus stops 4 blocks away. Downtown Berkeley is under 10 minutes by car, as are 2 Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stops. Local grocery shops, bakery, cafes, restaurants, our Sunday farmers' market with live music, prepared and fresh organic foods are just 4-6 blocks away on our hilly streets. Just a bit further: Tilden Park, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, the restaurant that started the California and farm to table food movements, the original Peet's coffee, live music venues, movie theaters, the UC Berkeley campus, and much more. It's 45 min -1 hour by car to Half Moon Bay or Stinson and PT Reyes beaches, a few minutes longer to Santa Cruz. 2 hours to Carmel, 1 hour to Napa Street parking is free and completely legal everywhere, unless there is an official street sign stating otherwise (none of these on our street). In reponse to Covid, we have instituted santitizing protocols between guest reservations, and made a few changes in the apartment. We have streamlined decor to facilitate cleaning and sanitizing, so fewer throw pillows, throw blankets, items on the shelves, extra linens are in the apartment than usual.

Quiet, clean, decorated tastefully in fun colors. We enjoyed our short stay at Alix's place, and will look forward to going back in the future. Her friendly communication made us feel welcome and free to ask her about anything we needed. Everything was clean as a whistle, and we appreciated the quiet neighborhood vibes which included an occasional chicken cackle, as well as a distance train whistle. Very nice for a first visit to the Berkeley area.

This is a lovely lower level apartment situated above Kensington Circus. The host is very helpful and responsive. The layout provides plenty of privacy and is ideal for an extended stay, including working remotely. I loved the patio and beautiful light in the space! The apartment has a very functional and well-equipped kitchen, nice full bath, and comfortable bed, too.

This property had a nice secluded entrance at the back of the property down the stairs and behind a gate. The back yard was beautiful, and the apartment got plenty of natural light in the morning.
