The Space:
This newly remodeled studio will provide you a comfortable place to stay on the ground floor of a well kept Craftsman home in the Elmwood. Care has been taken to design an aesthetically pleasing environment for you to relax and enjoy your visit. Please Note ***The family who owns the house lives upstairs and has 2 boys. Footsteps and movement will most likely be heard anytime after 7am. It's important guests be aware of this.***
HOT WATER: Due to the attic location of the water heater, it takes 3-5 min for the water to heat up in the sink and shower. Please be aware of this.
The studio is equipped with coffee/tea service as well as a refrigerator and a microwave. There is a corner store a block away where you can purchase other items you many need.
The studio also has a gas fireplace with remote, perfect for cold evenings. And the TV is equipped with Apple TV for you to login with your own password. There is no cable TV.
There is wifi at the house and a nice work area if you need to get some work done at the house.
We provide our guests with Dr. Brite Multi-Purpose Cleaner that is 70% alcohol so guests are able to wipe down door handles etc., so they can feel safer traveling during this time. We are proud to support a small, women-owned business by using their products which we have found to be great at disinfecting surfaces.
Guest Access:
Guests have their own access and are able to lock and secure the door to their room. No space is shared with the owners. The Studio is completely private.
The Neighborhood:
The Elmwood neighborhood is very safe and loaded with charm. From the studio, you can walk to UC Berkeley Campus, performances at the Greek Theater, and shops, cafés and restaurants. Not to mention the hiking trails up the street with amazing views. Downtown Berkeley is a longer walk or a quick car ride.
Getting Around:
Lyft and Uber are very easy and accessible from this location.
On the corner of Derby St. and College Ave. you can take the #51 bus North to UC Berkeley Campus or South to the Rockridge neighborhood and BART.
Rockridge BART station is about 1.4 miles down College Ave. from the studio and about a 20-30min walk. On BART you can head further East or you can take it West to San Francisco.
Other Things to Note:
I have a hosting company that is available 24 hours a day for any emergencies or concerns during your stay.
Interaction with Guests:
Our goal is to provide you a clean and comfortable space without intruding upon your privacy. We will send access instructions prior to your arrival and are always available should you need us during your stay.
You may meet the owners of the studio and their two delightful children when you're coming and going, but sometimes with busy schedules your paths may not cross.
