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.

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.
