This VRBO was exactly what we were looking for. It’s incredibly close to the UC Berkeley campus but remains peaceful and private. The interior was very spacious and had a lovely, charming character. Every amenity we needed was included and in great condition. We would definitely stay here again!

Accurate description of a wonderful loft. Owner was delightful to work with and quickly came to my rescue with an accidentally left behind travel bag…that she noticed before we did! Be sure to walk up to the Rose Gardens when you go. Restaurants are excellent…and within walking distance, too, Highly recommend.
