The studio is lovely in every way. From the peaceful deck with old growth trees and bay view to the spa shower and comfy bed, this is the perfect North Berkeley getaway. I look forward to staying there again the next time I’m traveling to Berkeley.

We were very happy staying at this quiet, peaceful spot. The studio is well appointed and tastefully decorated. Nice touches like Q-tips in the bathroom and snacks in the kitchen show an attention to detail not always found elsewhere. The neighborhood is safe and the off street parking was a big plus. We would be happy to stay here again as well as recommend it to others.

Loved it! Karla was super easy to talk with for questions. The property is cute. The patio view is AMAZING. Only thing is I’d recommend not checking in at night like I did because I got confused and couldn’t see. Mostly user error on my part, but wanted to put something here as well. Highly recommend this property!

This is a lovely, well-appointed apartment in an absolutely beautiful neighborhood tucked into the hills above Berkeley. We had everything we needed, an incredible view, & a wonderful stay. Host was responsive, ecen offering recommendations when requested, but otherwise totally respectful of our privacy & space. Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Karla's apt. The neighborhood was quiet, the deck view was lovely, and the room was just perfect for us. A lot of kitchen amenities, well stocked linens, etc. Karla was easy to communicate with, and the property was surprisingly easy to get to from downtown Berkeley. We give this the perfect score; a wonderful place to stay!

Karla is a superb host. My rental was beautifully and tastefully appointed, with lovely and engaging fine art throughout. Snacks, tea, and coffee provided and much appreciated. Well-stocked kitchen utensils, amazing shower, and immaculately clean throughout. So peaceful and quiet, with a zen-like balcony (what a view of San Francisco Bay!) and terraced gardens. It’s one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever stayed in. I hope to return again next year!
