About this property
Luxurious Berkeley Home
We, your hosts, are a married couple; Margarita is a business owner, Bob is a physician. Our children are grown and have moved out and our place is underutilized as we spend a lot of time in Santa Cruz. We'd like to offer our Berkeley home to you as a short term rental.. The house is spacious and well equipped and there is ample outdoor space for spending time with friends or family with social distancing.
We have a 7 night minimum but may at times accept shorter stays The home has two bedrooms and one bath as well as a living room, a dining room, a pantry, and a breakfast nook. There is plenty of privacy. When we are in Berkeley we stay in back in a cottage. We enter via a driveway and would not be close to you when we stay in Berkeley.
Please note that the City of Berkeley charges a tax for short term rentals.. The rate is 12% plus a 2% administrative fee so the total is 14%. If you rent our home for fewer than 14 nights you will need to pay this directly to us and we will forward it to the city. There is no tax for longer stays. We have a zoning certificate - # ZCSTR2017-0022.
The normal rent is $220.00 / night. During certain times of the year (Thanksgiving, Xmas, and most dates in May (University of Berkeley graduation) the rate is $250.00 / night This rate for two guests. There is a charge of $20.00 / night for any additional guests. The maximum number of guests is four.
Our house is meticulously maintained, clean, airy, and fully equipped. It is located on a tree-lined street in what is generally considered to be one of the most desirable areas of Berkeley, close to wonderful restaurants, shops, and walking streets.
Our place is perfect for visiting scholars, scientists, business or creative people and for tourists who prefer the peace and quiet of this lovely East Bay city. Many of our guests have been people with children and grandchildren or other relatives or friends in the area. There is easy and fast access to downtown San Francisco via public transportation; bus and BART stations are in walking distance from our house.
Parking is on the street but is not a problem - often you can park directly in front of the house. No sticker is needed. Occasionally parking might be a half block or at most 1 block away

What makes this property unique
Great location. Walk to UC Berkeley. Solano Avenue with its shops and restaurants is just 3 blocks away. An express bus to San Francisco is two blocks away. You can walk to the North Berkeley BART station;. it's just a little over a mile. If you don't know about the climate in our area let us tell you -- it seldom gets very hot in the summer (almost no one has air conditioning) or too cold in the winter (no frost or snow). Winters can be rainy and cool and at times cold. It almost never rains all summer long but it can be foggy and cool. Our usual summer weather may features fog or clouds in the morning clearing by Noon, then bright sunshine all afternoon, and then cooling in the evening. In the summer we can have spells when it is overcast for few days at a time. September is frequently our hottest month. In the winter it can be drizzly or rainy for days at a time or warm and sunny for days at a time or bright sunny and warm for days at a time.
The neighborhood is fabulous. Tree-lined streets, homes with beautiful landscaping, lots of flowers even in the winter. Shopping streets a few blocks away are lined with boutiques, cafes, restaurants of all kinds, specialty food stores, a great bookstore, etc. You'll have fun just walking around. One of the county library branches is a block away.
