About this property

Newly Renovated Studio Space Unexpected Surprise

About this space
Creative use of the 500 square foot space provides seating and sleeping for more than what you would expect.
1 queen bed
Bedroom 1
1 sofa bed
1 air mattress
Oakland, California, United States
A beautiful walk to UC Berkeley and Alta Bates. Places to eat include: Pizzaiolo, Shangri-La Vegan, Bakesale Betty, Cholita Linda, Wood Tavern, and all sorts of other great places on College and Telegraph Avenue. Whole Foods and the Tuesday and Sunday Farmers Markets are all walking distance.
The space
When I step into my space from the street it feels like I have just passed through a portal into some place unexpected. How did I fit all of the essential comforts of home into about 500 square feet without it feeling cramped or cluttered? I think my space is cozy, relatively quiet and very relaxing.
I really did try to think of every desirable convenience so please let me know what I'm missing in your home away from home.

Now outside, on a warm sunny day I think you would enjoy sitting outside behind the gate inconspicuously watching the neighborhood traffic pass by. People walking, jogging or bike riding to the nearby Park, Dry Cleaners, Laundromat, Whole Foods Market, Berkeley Bowl organic food store and a host of other quirky storefront places that are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Including the tailor shop and men's clothing store right next. door. Right on the corner there is a Subway Sandwich Shop, an awesome Gourmet Pizza / Bakery, a Corner Convenience Store too.
Guest access
Guest have access to everything behind the gate with the exception of one cabinet in the kitchen I use for storage.
Other things to note
The space is newly remodeled. Everything has been updated except for the cold tile floors. With that said you maybe the first to use something so your feed back sent directly to me would be helpful so I can make the necessary adjustments for the next guest.

Regarding the gate I am aware that coming in and out can be cumbersome especially with bags in hand. Open both wooden gates inward all the way to make it easier to get in and out of the security door. The security door must be shut to close the wooden gate doors. I extended the gate as far out onto the sidewalk as the property line would allow me to in in order to provide separation and security. I have really grown to love it.

The host was very welcoming and responded quickly to any queries I had during my stay. The place was very cozy and well laid-out: lots of pillows and towels, great water pressure, comfortable bed, strong wifi, and plenty of space for work and relaxing. I also loved the fully stocked pantry of coffee, tea, and creamers. The only minor negative was some noise from traffic on the street at night.

My family and I stayed for a week. Perfect location, very safe and free from homeless people. Very quiet and peaceful. I call it a “powerhouse” because it has everything needed to make your stay comfortable. The host is emotionally intelligent and cared about us. It is also a walking distance from the bus stop, a grocery store and nomad cafe. The food at this cafe is very good. Original coffee etc. There’s also a Peruvian restaurant next to this apartment and their food is very good. I got the rice and beef.I will stay there again anytime I visit.

We were very pleased with the place. It was as advertised, with an extremely comfortable main bed and extra spaces for kids. We found the bedding and towels to be excellent and ample for our family. The neighborhood is busy, but safe and quite interesting, with much to see and do even in walking distance. On street parking was no problem, even with our full size truck. Great communication and easy check in and out.

This placed was filled with amenities, easy parking, close to all the things on our list for the weekend. Perfect for two nights for the four of us. My 11yo niece stayed in the loft and really enjoyed it. The sleeping areas are separated by a wall but no doors or rooms. It is basically a very well thought out studio space with a loft. There was enough privacy for our needs, we were still all able to have our own space, but nothing really private. Anything we forgot was found in the cupboards, well stocked for sure. The host was very communicative, responsive, and friendly and check in was easy.

Perfect place for our needs

Although we needed to leave early for an emergency at home, we throughly enjoyed our stay. Although it sits on a busy street, it was relatively quiet and private with the privacy gate. Everything needed was provided, down to the little details that were appreciated (q-tips, sound machine, and weighted blanket to name a few). It was very clean and well maintained. We hope to stay again next time we visit.
