Convenient walk to UC, Haas, MSRI, Simons and Goldman School. Historic home.

One bedroom/ one bath apartment in an historic 1924 home situated in the beautiful Berkeley hills overlooking San Francisco Bay. This flat includes a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, microwave, stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. The bedroom is large, with a queen size bed and beautiful views. The bathroom, which includes a shower/ no tub, is accessible through the bedroom as well as a separate hall from the living room. The living room has a queen-size sofa bed and a flat screen TV. Cable and wifi are included. The apartment has its own washer/dryer.

The apartment is accessed down a flight of steps through a locked gate. An intercom allows the guest to open the gate for guests with the push of a button.
On-street parking is plentiful. Some guests chose to purchase daily parking passes but this is entirely optional.

The unit has an entrance directly onto a garden that was designed by the Berkeley landscape designer Keeyla Meadows. It's pretty wonderful! With fruit trees, roses, and California native plants.

Stayed there 4 nights. It definitely has a great view of the bay and SF! That was the highlight. It is not in a convenient location to restaurants and it sits up on a hill to where if you walk anywhere be ready to take a hike back up! We took an Uber to wherever we needed to go. For a reason I will not divulge, I simply could not give it a good cleanliness rating. It should have been taken care of if things were being cleaned well!!!

Splendid view!
Spacious and clean one bedroom apartment with spectacular view of San Francisco, tucked on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills, only a short walk to the university. The apartment opens onto a beautifully maintained three level garden. It was a perfect spot for visiting our family who is scattered across the East Bay. Although we had little need to contact our hosts, they were readily available. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay in Berkeley hills
Beautiful garden and apartment. Well equipped for a stay with laundry and kitchen facilities and a book library. Note that's quite a walk up a steep hill from Berkeley so you need to be fit or else have your own vehicle or use Uber. A great introduction for us to America. Susan is a friendly helpful host and the view to the city is stunning.

Week in Berkeley
My wife and I stayed for 5 nights to visit Berkeley and hit all our favorite spots from when we used to live in Berkeley. The accommodations provided a great spot for us to live in for the week. We were able to cook some simple meals and loved the view of the Bay Bridge. The location is awesome, far enough up the hill to have a view, quiet neighborhood with easy street parking, and walkable to the Rose Garden. We had a great stay!

Lovely Retreat
Hubby and I were in town for over a month to visit with brand new grandson. Daughter's house is too small and the Berkeley Hills home was a nice retreat. Daughter ended up coming a few afternoons to relax and take a nap while I got to take care of our grandchild. Thanks for a nice stay.

Good location with a sweet garden
Very comfortable, no problems parking on the street. The house had everything we needed. Would have loved to stay longer, but they are pretty busy! Be aware there are 30 steps down to the place if that is an issue for you. Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely come back. Thanks Greg and Susie!

Combined dropping our son at Berkeley with a short vacation. Location is close to campus, and up on a hill where you catch the breezes. Apartment is lovely. The stairs down are long, so if climbing stairs is an issue, consider that.

Amazing hillside apartment with view of San Fran
We loved staying in this unique, beautiful apartment in an historic house! The terraced garden was lush and extensive with fruit trees and the patio view of San Fran was stunning. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed and had everything we needed for a full week stay. The hosts were very friendly, inviting and responsive. We will certainly return to this hillside retreat.

This was a wonderful place to have stayed, the home upon arrival is stunning and historic. When you reach the apartment, you are met with the perfect view of downtown San Francisco; all the while standing in one of the most beautiful gardens in the neighborhood. The interior of the apartment was just as great as the exterior. Susie, the awesome landlord, has the space perfectly stocked and styled with everything that I was missing from home. In suite laundry, Heat/AC, full spacious kitchen (I cooked Thanksgiving dinner in), and even a small library for an afternoon read whilst catching amazing views from every room. If you have an opportunity to be lucky enough to stay here, take it! I am so lucky to have enjoyed Susie's hospitality and thank her for allowing me to stay in such a wonderful home.

I do not recommend this property. Check-in was problematic. No one was there to open the door. We needed to wait quite sometime to enter the premise. There were gnats, spiders and spider webs throughout the apartment. The apartment was so dusty that it made my son and I sneeze. The entrance of the apartment was filthy. The downstairs garden has a significant amount of dog feces. Dog feces from their dog was also nearby the front entrance door and stairs. Several requests were made for it to be picked up. I was also surprised when they asked if we could pick it up. I made it clear that it was not our dogs that made the mess. There were 2 separate occasions where the owner and one of their family members came into the apartment unannounced, which startled us, making us feel uncomfortable. On the last 3 days, loud construction coming from the upstairs apartment occurred for several hours per day, making it difficult to relax. You can also hear the tenants from the upstairs apartment walking around. We are glad our stay is over.
