About this condo rental

Situated in Berkeley, this attractive condo for $254 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Location, location, location. This sunny one bedroom duplex apartment is located on a quiet street in the heart of the north Berkeley flatlands. You get your own apartment, your own fully equipped kitchen, your own smart TV, your own private deck, additional garden sitting area, and your own super fast WiFI. The duplex is within short walking distance of the North Berkeley Bart Station, Trader Joe's, Andronicos Community Market, Monterey Market, Pete's, Live Oak Park, the famous King Garden/Edible School Yard (one block away), and all the best Berkeley restaurants. For example, the legendary restaurant, Chez Panisse, is only 5 blocks away. Founded by Alice Waters, for many years Chez Panisse has been widely regarded as one of the top 100 restaurants in the world. Just step out your door and you are practically there. Black out Pottery Barn linen curtains in living room and bedroom to keep you sleeping in comfort to whenever you want to rise. Duplex apartment is on a quiet tree lined street in a highly prized flatland area of North Berkeley. PLEASE BE AWARE: To obtain a booking, potential guests MUST tell us something about themselves. WHEN YOU SEND AN INQUIRY OR BOOKING REQUEST, PLEASE LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO (OR DID) FOR A LIVING, THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT AND WHO YOU WILL BE COMING WITH. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE, BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION TO APPROVE YOUR BOOKING. WE GET NUMEROUS SPAM MESSAGES TRYING TO SCAM US OR THE SYSTEM IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. We are not entrepreneurs. We are an elderly couple who are just trying to make ends meet by renting out the front apartment of our two apartment duplex. When you arrive at the apartment, you will find everything you could possible want, so you can relax after your trip: Cup of lovely tea or frothy cappuccino? Glass of wine? Sparkling water? Cheese, crackers? Snacks? For extended stays, fresh cut flower bouquet? Yes, we have all that covered for you! Be sure to check out the great (if I say so myself) photos of the apartment AND the video tour. Just click on the picture of the house and cycle on through to the third photo (don't miss the rest) and click on the play triangle to view Jon's video tour. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much can a video be worth? You tell me....

(It ain't magic, but it helps); * Oriental rugs and hardwood floors throughout the apartment; * Super comfortable large Pottery Barn sofa bed in the living room to watch TV and for extra guests to sleep comfortably; * Two outdoor sitting areas: private deck with small table and chairs just off the kitchen to eat outdoors and love seat to lounge and drink your morning (or afternoon) cappuccino, and another private outdoor sitting area near your front door; * Guest Guide Book with how to's on everything in the house AND guide for everything around town like how to get to grocery stores, recommended restaurants (with menus), how to access running track and swimming pool nearby, evening entertainment etc. * Ample unrestricted street parking in front of the apartment. There are almost always parking places on the block and if for some reason they are all taken you can parallel park in front of the double driveway in front of the house. We do not allow parking on the paver covered driveway. * If we are missing anything, just let us know, and we will add it for your next stay (or get it for this stay if there is time) Check-in is with numbered code on the door dead bolt. But Mary or I (Jon) will meet and greet you to show you around the apartment so that you can find out everything you need to know to make your stay as trouble free as possible. We will give you the exact address and how to find the apartment when we get close to when you plan to arrive. We live in the back apartment of the duplex so we are readily available for any of your ongoing needs. Please just call or text and we will be at your disposal. No pets, no children, no parties and no smoking (even, or especially legal weed) in unit or on the deck. Cleaning to get rid of smoke damage is quite expensive. Thank you for your consideration!

My family of three completely enjoyed the recent holiday in this charming, spotless, and well appointed 1920s duplex perfectly situated for walking and driving to favorite places in Berkeley and beyond. The hosts were thoughtful and welcoming beyond all others known through many vacation stays, surprising us with our favorite treats upon arrival. Communication by text and email was clear and easy. This beautifully furnished and art-filled space comfortably accommodated three adults relaxing in different ways: sleeping, reading, drawing, cooking. The kitchen and all that it supplied was a marvel. The garden was also delightful. To experience a classic Berkeley dwelling updated with immaculate and contemporary cleanliness and comfort was a joy. This is a special place and highly recommended.

This was just a perfect location for us to stay while we explored the Bay Area…. easy access to everything while out of the city rat race. The accommodations were wonderful and Jon and Mary are gracious hosts.

We stayed in this beautifully appointed apartment while we moved our son into Cal. It was the perfect spot for my Husband and I to relax and enjoy Northern Berkeley. We walked everywhere and really got to take in the surrounding neighborhoods. The breezes in the afternoon were glorious! We will be back.
