Come home to a beautifully appointed craftsman bungalow with wood floors and artistic touches throughout. Peaceful and quiet, yet steps away from the hopping Westbrae and Albany neighborhoods, and on the direct bus line to SF, this is a dream location for anyone who wants to experience the best of East Bay living. High end appliances and furnishings, an ensuite bathroom, and separate dining room are just a few of the features you'll love about this Westbrae Oasis. There is a dedicated work-from-home nook with its own half bath, and a twin trundle bed for a child or an overnight guest. Friendly neighbors, great restaurants, excellent shopping and groceries are all within walking distance from this gem of a house.

Everything about this property was perfect for us! The house is beautiful, clean and well-appointed without being busy. It is located in the best part of Berkeley -- you can walk to everything from a peaceful neighborhood with friendly and helpful neighbors. The owner and property manager were also very helpful and responsive. We didn't want to leave!

Initial problems quickly resolved by owner
This is a very comfortable, well-equipped rental in a nice, very quiet neighborhood, easily accessible to shopping, restaurants, etc.
When we arrived, the rental had not been cleaned and there were a number of things (shower, oven, dishwasher, toilet) that were not functioning. Apparently, there had been a miscommunication with property management. The owners worked diligently to fix everything; however, we were inconvenienced during our stay. We anticipate that future renters will not encounter the issues with which we were faced.

About the host
Hosted by Hillary Curtis
We are Berkeley locals who enjoy renting to visiting scholars, folks who are in the middle of relocating, and grandparents who want to be close when new additions to the family arrive! There is so much about Berkeley that is exciting and fun.
Why they chose this property
Westbrae is close to so many great areas of Berkeley - The Marina with wide open spaces, Solano Ave with great shops and restaurants, Westbrae with its own beer garden and plant nursery. Whole Foods and Walgreens are just a few blocks away. There is a lot to walk or bike to near the house, great parks for kids and the bus stop for the direct bus line to SF is around the corner.
What makes this property unique
We lovingly remodeled the house years ago and have been keeping it in top shape - lots of craftsman wood details throughout the house. It has a charming feel to it, comfortable, with great appliances and attentions to detail. Due to the mature Oak and Japanese Maple, it feels like being nestled in a woodland, though you're steps away from many shops and restaurants.
