Cottage delight

This Berkeley Cottage is located in a quiet neighbourhood with a nice shopping area nearby. It was the perfect place for us to recoup and enjoy some downtime while exploring the East Bay. We appreciated Patty’s hospitality and the parking space she made available to us.

The perfect family cottage for visitors!

We have family coming to visit from the east coast at least twice a year and this has been the perfect place for them when they are in town. Patty is a fantastic host and the cottage is always well kept. It’s a plus to be walking distance to our house and so many things on College Ave.

Great location, wonderful space

This is a small cottage behind the main house in my favorite Berkeley neighborhood (walk to the movie theater, bakeries, coffee shops, grocery store). I liked the radiant heating and warm floor in the winter, comfortable bed with great linens, and lots of light yet private. It's no longer new, and some of the furnishing is showing its age, but I found the place very comfortable. Parking in the driveway was great, as parking can be tight in this area. Patty was an excellent host.

Lovely spot!

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at this peaceful, pretty spot - the location was super convenient to walk to College Ave restaurants / grocery store and shops. The gardens on this street were verdant and gorgeous. The owner couldn't be more accommodating and the cottage has everything you could possibly need - we loved it!
