Rockridge Private Upper 2BR Flat - Comfort & Artsy Charm in a Major Foodie Haven
Seeking a spacious, peaceful vacation rental in Rockridge, one of the Bay Area’s most vibrant, foodie neighborhoods with great thrifting?
This comfy, colorful, central flat in a 1908 duplex is close to legendary restaurants, shops and bars — all near UC Berkeley & BART!
Up the steep stairs, you enter your 800+ sq ft private, light-filled UPPER flat with high ceilings and the comforts of home. This 2BR/1BA flat has rustic modern decor, high ceilings, oak floors & the comforts of home. (Host lives in the unit below.)
AMENITIES: Fast Wi-Fi, full kitchen with a gas stove, dishwasher, coffee, Netflix, Max, laundry, bath/shower, cotton towels & sheets. Unlimited parking.
The 2 bedrooms each have a queen bed, plus 1 narrow bathroom with a tub/shower combo, a dining room, full kitchen, living room, and laundry room. Sheets and towels are 100% cotton. Most soaps are natural. Shampoo and lots of amenities provided.
A vintage fold-out desk and various areas set up with power strips make working remote easy.
AWESOME LOCATION in Lower Rockridge ½ mile to TJs, Market Hall, Whole Foods, cafes, cool shops, dining, bakery, bars.
Close to Temescal, UC Berkeley, Kaiser, Children’s Hospital, Piedmont & freeway
Most guests love our place to visit family, explore the Bay and Berkeley with a central home base, or for work.
Fast WIFI.
----
NOT A PARTY SPOT, the #1 rule is to give the host a heads up if you have plans other than the usual "stay while going out to explore" such as having people over or if you're in between apartments and will have a lot of stuff.

Thank you for being the most wonderful guests!
About the host
Your host
I'm a 10+ year 5-star host! Providing guests with a great experience is my commitment. As a local food expert, real estate agent, UC Berkeley alum and longtime resident (living below the rental), helping visitors enjoy our beautiful Rockridge neighborhood or have a central home base while visiting the Bay Area is something I really enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Rockridge is a rare neighborhood where you can walk both to all the great food shops, restaurants, hardware store, Trader Joe's and BART on College as well as to Temescal where there's a Whole Foods, lots of great restaurants. We are right in the middle of it all - yet it can be so quiet at night you wonder if you are in the countryside (although there aren't crickets!) It is such a special and rare place to combine urban living in a friendly neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
Location, location + comfort. For those who love vintage architecture with high ceilings, wood floors, old-time quirks, and amenities for comfortable living...and especially lots of light...my flat is for you. Guests often walk to one of several local cafes for pastries and coffee in the morning as well as provisions from Market Hall for snacks and meals.
