Apartment is a 15 minute walk to Berkeley's gourmet ghetto (home to Chez Panisse, The Cheese Board and excellent shopping), 5 blocks from University of California and the Theological Seminary and a 25 minute walk from Downtown Berkeley. 2 blocks from a bus to downtown BART.

Contemplative Stay in the Berkeley Hills

Quiet, welcoming apartment with lots of privacy. Well appointed kitchen, nice bathroom, bedroom, sitting room AND a private covered deck. The view during the day and at night were exquisite. Very friendly owners who have thought of everything to make your stay thoroughly enjoyable!

Weekend stay at Berkeley

We were visiting Berkeley to meet our son. The apartment was great for two of us with lovely views of the bay. It had all the facilities we needed. It is about half an hour walk to downtown which we enjoyed. The kitchen was well equipped. Our stay was very comfortable.

Great Location, Beautiful Apartment

Everything was great! I met the host and her dog on the first night, and they were both really nice : ) I live in Berkeley, and I booked this place for a few days while the floors in my home were being refinished. The location is excellent; it's situated in the Berkeley Hills, but not too far up, so you'll be close to the university, downtown, Chez Panisse, and more, all while enjoying beautiful views of San Francisco.

A fantastic find!

The apartment was great, in a very convenient location with excellent parking, near great restaurants with beautiful parks in walking distance. It was private, with beautiful views and lovely gardens. I stayed for 7 weeks and really enjoyed it. The owner was lovely, super helpful and very inclusive and welcoming. Definitely a find!!

Great view and responsive hosts

We had a great view over the East Bay from the living room when it didn't rain. When VRBO did not send us directions and access information in a timely manner, the host communicated with us immediately.

A fantastic view

This property worked well for my wife and I as we came out to visit our daughter. First time in the area and your mountaineering driving experience is put to the test. Berkeley Hills has some nice homes and this is one of them. We really enjoyed the back deck and its view. We loved the gardens and being surrounded by trees. The home offered all we needed as we were out and about for the day. We experienced unseasonably warm temperatures and the only downside was that it was quite hot inside without air conditioning. First world problems that we could live with! Make sure to visit the Rose Park and walk the gardens that are on this property. Can’t go wrong with this property.

The perfect place

I think this was our fourth stay in the appointment at La Loma Avenue. It is always a pleasure to stay with Susan and Greg. Their hospitality and friendlyness really makes it a great place to stay. You can walk to the university, to great shopping and cafes (eg Cheese Board!). And the view to the Bay is amazing! I hope that we will get the opportunity to return in the future.

Easy location for walking to UC Berkeley Campus and SFO access via Bart. $3 per day to park at North Berkeley Station and transit into the city. A loaded Clipper Pass gives access to all the city busses as well. Relaxing deck and garden after a day of sightseeing and other adventures.

This is one of the most beautiful settings one could imagine. Easy access to the Greek Theater, UCB, restaurant ghetto, and best of all, Tilden Park. That blew me away most. I just couldn’t pull myself away from the view.

Susie’s Cozy Hideaway in the Hills

Susie was a wonderful host! She responded very quickly and was very accommodating to our needs. The place was absolutely clean and stylish with stunning views of the bay and San Francisco from the Living Room and from the outdoor deck in the trees. Parking was provided and on site washer and dryer was incredibly convenient. I definitely recommend the place if you’re looking for some thing with character, amazing walking, and peace and quiet free of city noises.
