About this property

Light-filled loft retreat in famed Gourmet Ghetto

A serene, luminous loft in one of Berkeley's prettiest neighborhoods. Light pours through skylights under soaring vaulted ceilings, and French doors open onto a private 9x20 ft deck with filtered Bay views, made for slow mornings and golden-hour evenings. Sink into the oversized clawfoot tub and let the day melt away. A quiet, tree-lined street, with the Cheese Board and Chez Panisse a 6-minute stroll away.

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.

This was a perfect place to spend a few weeks while studying at Berkeley. The location is central to fantastic restaurants, walkable to campus, and has a beautiful deck with views of San Francisco. Check in was seamless, the studio was impeccable, and communication with the host was a breeze. 10/10.
