**Please note bookings of less than 7 calendar days are not accepted unless the arrival date is within 30 days from the date you book**
This is a very quiet, serene, sunny 2 bedroom condo. You would get to rent the entire condo. Central to all of Berkeley and a quick 20 minute drive or BART ride to San Francisco.
It is conveniently located for all academic, business and travel needs; within 5-10 minutes walk from Downtown Berkeley, BART (underground train), bus lines, banks, the Post Office, grocery stores, the Berkeley Farmers Market and a multitude of restaurants with international cuisines. For example, the legendary restaurant Chez Panisse is only 5 blocks away. Founded by Alice Waters, it is widely regarded as one of the top 100 restaurants in the world for many years!
Free Wi-Fi internet is featured throughout; full kitchen with gas oven and range, living room, dining room with seating for 4, stacked washer/dryer near front door, and a large, serene front deck with scenic views. The living room has several comfy sofas, a music center and a fireplace. I spent $10k upgrading most of the windows in the condo to double-paned Marvin windows, which are excellent at insulating noise and keeping the temperature controlled. Large windows let in natural light throughout the condo, with shades for privacy when needed. You will have a full bathroom with bath tub & shower. All bedroom doors and the bathroom door have been upgraded to solid core doors, which helps significantly with sound privacy.
There is street parking as well as a garage, but I have a car in the garage most of the time. I can let you use the garage exclusively for an extra $10/day rate so please inquire about that in advance.
This cute condo is safe, very quiet and secure and is a perfect place for work, study or pit stop while traveling.

Master Bedroom:
This furnished, quiet, sun filled master bedroom has genuine hardwood floors and includes a brand new queen sized bed, computer desk with chair, full length sofa, chest of drawers, and walk in closet with clothing hangers. There are two large windows for air flow and light, with blinds for privacy. The mattress on the bed is comparable with what you would find in a luxury hotel.
With advance request, breakfast food can be made available for you upon arrival, in the refrigerator and cabinets. Food options include milk, eggs, juice, cereal, bread, tea and coffee. If you are interested in breakfast, please let me know after booking which breakfast stuff you would like me to pick up for you. I don't make the breakfast, but the food would be put there for you if you request it prior to arrival.
I believe that this space would comfortably accommodate 2 in each bed making a total of 4 people. Note there is only one bathroom. That being said, I put a max of 6 just in case you want to figure out how two extra people could sleep, like on the couches or squeeze into beds.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.
Thank you!
Wonderful, sunny space. Well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable beds. We were blessed with great weather for walking around town and campus. Loved the front deck for sitting in the sun.
This place was so perfect for our family and was on a quiet street with easy access to UC Berkeley. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. The host was readily available to answer and very very accommodating to all our needs. He went above and beyond all our expectations! A Great place for a family to settle in for a couple days or a week. We will be back!
Perfect location, well maintained and Jeff is very, very helpful and easy to communicate with.
Jeff was an excellent, thoughtful, responsive host. The condo had just about everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen was stocked with fresh breakfast items and fruit when we arrived. There is a large private, sunny deck with a dining table and grill outside the kitchen window. Location is wonderful: a nice neighborhood; walking distance to groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, bookstore; and a few blocks from UCB campus. We stayed 18 days, working remotely while visiting family. Its an older condo, but it was comfortable and suited our needs. I would consider staying again.
We had a fantastic stay in Berkeley. Love the community and the location of this property - close to the university and many restaurants, and a great neighborhood for walking/exercising. Beds were super comfy and condo had a nice patio and plenty of space. Host also left us breakfast foods which was much appreciated. We will be back when next in Berkeley!
The condo location is great and the host was very helpful and responsive. Having a garage was a big help, especially when coming home at night!
We had a great stay at Jeff’s condo! Perfect location, close to campus and many restaurants and coffee shops. We would definitely stay again.
2 minutes walking distance to UC Berkeley. I and my kids really enjoyed our leisure time at the campus every day. And we enjoyed our afternoon tea time at the deck. The deck is a great option for us. The most important thing is Jeff is a very nice host!
Stylish apartment with everything we needed, room to relax and cook meals for our family or pop down the road to local restaurants/stores and close to UC Berkeley. Responsive helpful owner/manager who made the process seamless. We would suggest asking to rent the garage as well as parking was a nightmare over the graduation week and even with the very helpful parking pass (thank you Jeff) we often ended up parked 3-4 blocks away from the apartment. We will definitely stay again - thank you very much for sharing your apartment with our Kiwi family - it was perfect.
This is a clean, well-furnished, comfortable apartment one block from the Berkeley campus and walking distance to everything you need. I was particularly pleased that the kitchen was so well equipped. Literally everything you might need for cooking -- I even baked a pie!
