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.

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!

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.

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!
