We love this studio. The hosts provided special coffee’s (espresso and ground coffee for French press). So many little touches - great selection of jazz CDs and books by DH Lawerence, Doris Lessing and others. Very homey place. Wish we had a few more days to listen to the glorious water fountain and do some bird watching.

A delightful home/ "Hidden Gem"

The cottage is cozy with a nice location. Attention to detail. Appealing interior design. Host was most gracious even when I booked 7 nights instead of 8. My error and he did not make me fell uncomfortable booking an extra night. I would definitely come back here and recommend it to others. A hidden gem....

Charming, sparkling clean, comfortable!

This charming home is extraordinary. The listing information was accurate and yet we were amazed by the attention to detail by our hosts. This cozy home was fully equipped with everything we could have needed…and more! From the comfortable queen bed to the new, sparkling appliances and features, this lovely home has it all. Communication with our host was excellent. Directions to the home and access instructions were clear and very easy. This is the perfect cozy spot for a couple. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching hummingbirds bathe in the garden fountain. This special home is in a quiet, private location. We come to this are often and will definitely schedule our stay to take advantage this true gem.

Cozy and Complete

My wife and I were looking for a location to stay that was close to Berkeley, where we were to attend a wedding and other events, but also convenient to the National Parks in the SF area and Napa Valley. This location fit the bill nicely. This house, while small, is very well appointed. It's well decorated and the attention to detail is remarkable. The kitchen has everything that you'd need, as well as 4 different ways to make a cup of coffee. The bathroom also has items that you may think you need to pack, but they're already here, such as a blow dryer and steamer. There was cold bottled water in the fridge, and chocolates on the counter. And there's a small, quiet patio outside the front door which is ideal for coffee and breakfast in the morning. We were very happy with our stay here.
