It was a great stay, and we were very satisfied staying 9 days at this studio. The place is very spacious, clean, and has a great view. It also has all the supplies you could think of. The owner welcomes you warmly and asks if you need anything, though we didn't need to ask for a thing. We didn't walk anywhere since we had a car. Highly recommended!

This is a clean, well appointed studio. Everything you need is supplied for you… outside your food. If you don’t mind some hill walking you are not far from Vine Street and Shattuck Ave “Gourmet Ghetto” as well as Berkeley Rose Garden and other parks. We had a pleasant experience. Driveway parking on left hand side was a great bonus. Thank you!

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.

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!

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!

This was one of my best VRBO experiences. The studio is very welcoming and comfortable. Karla was great with communication. There are quality and thoughtful touches throughout, like good towels, hooks where you want them, night lights. Sitting on the back deck among the redwoods watching the fog lift off the bay in the morning was wondrous. I didn’t want to leave. I will definitely try to stay here again.

Perfect hillside getaway

Karla’s studio is an ideal pied a terre. It’s an easy walk to campus, cafes, restos and shops. While close to amenities it also offers privacy and serenity as it’s tucked into the hillside, surrounded by trees and gardens. The studio was very clean and well appointed. Karla was a warm host, helpful and responsive to questions. I already dream of returning!

Well, this place is too good to tell you about! But in fairness, I will. It is a simple, quiet, and clean home away from home! It was a very relaxing, beautiful, and calming place to stay. I loved the bed and pillows... the pillows might be a bit much if you prefer a smaller one. It is attached to the main house, so please keep in mind. Although we felt we had complete privacy, I talked loudly and laughed like I am at a comedy show, and I am not sure how well they could hear me. LOLWe will be back to find some rest!!!

Great location in the Berkeley Hills

The place has been perfect for us. The kitchen is great with all the little things we need to prepare food plus the extras like storage containers, aluminum foil and even parchment paper and composting. The bed is very comfortable. We enjoyed having dinner on the deck with a view of the bay. The cover for the outdoor furniture keeps it fresh and clean. We appreciate having a spot to park in the driveway. The location is ideal and it has been easy to get to the various places we have been going in Berkeley and Albany as well as walks through the roads and paths in the hills. We look forward to staying here again.

Exactly as advertised and exceeded expectations! Karla (owner) is hands down the best host I’ve ever experienced. Polite, remarkably responsive and welcoming. Studio was very clean, well equipped, roomy and updated. Karla even provided a partition between the living and sleeping areas to allow us more privacy. Bed is comfy as well as the sleep sofa. Loved making breakfasts in the full kitchen. The large deck is a serene place to relax and take in the stunning redwoods and the views. Driveway parking and private entry are added bonuses. If trying to decide between a hotel or this lovely studio, do yourself a favor and enjoy this peaceful retreat.

A Serene Escape in the Heart of the City

My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed our 3-night stay at this property and genuinely wished we could’ve stayed longer. The location was fantastic. We were in town to attend a show at the Greek Theater and were able to walk there and back, which was incredibly convenient. We did rent a car for other parts of our trip, so having a designated driveway parking spot was a huge plus.The space was spotless — and I have high standards when it comes to cleanliness. The kitchen was very well-equipped, which made it easy to prepare some of our own meals. The layout of the studio is thoughtfully designed, offering plenty of space to relax and unwind. There’s a large closet area with hangers and a full dresser, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. The bathroom was modern and luxurious, with a spa-like shower featuring multiple shower heads — a definite highlight! The bed was firm yet very comfortable, with plenty of soft, cozy blankets.Communication with the host was excellent — she was consistently responsive, kind, and helpful. She provided very clear check-in and check-out instructions and a guidebook for the unit and the area. Our favorite aspect of the property was how peaceful and serene it felt. Despite being in the city, the environment was quiet and relaxing. Enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on the private deck was a real treat.We highly recommend this property and will absolutely stay here again if we have the chance to return to Berkeley.
