Accessibility

Neighborhood

The cottage is very conveniently located, 2 blocks from the BART station and a few houses from the Ohlone jogging and bike trail. Did I mention the Cedar Rose pickleball courts just a 10 minute walk down the Ohlone trail!? The UC Berkeley campus is a 14 minute bike ride away on bike friendly roads.

Guest Access

Access to the entire house and a fenced-in private back garden patio and deck. There is ample free street parking right out in front.

I was absolutely blown away by how stunning this place was. The atmosphere was serene and peaceful, yet everything I could possibly need was just steps away. Restaurants, shops, and attractions were all within walking distance, making it incredibly convenient. It honestly felt like the perfect balance of relaxation and accessibility. Out of all the places I’ve stayed, this was by far the most memorable. I can’t recommend booking with Megan enough,you’ll love it here.

Megan’s place was spot on. We came to visit family and the location was just a few blocks from where they lived. Very convenient to the BART for us to travel into San Francisco. Parking was right outside the house. Love the fact that she provided a work station. Even thought i was on vacation I did need to take care of a few things and having that nice docking station and two monitors made it easier. Bed was very comfortable. Loved the bathroom. If our family is still living in the area we would love to return back.

This is a beautiful place with a porch behind it which we really appreciated. I really liked the kitchen utilities with big stove and few different coffee makers. Communication with host was easy and on point, with host communicating through whats app and Airbnb. Thank you Megan for your hospitality!

Sweet little spot. Great family neighborhood. Easy free parking which is a major plus for Berkeley. Good variety of restaurants, parks and coffee shops nearby. Place is spotless and amenities are dialed in. Excellent for someone traveling with others who needs to work. Very accommodating host.
