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.

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!

Very comfortable bed; great location near walking path and parks; lovely deck on the back; very clean; luxurious rain showerhead and big fluffy towels in bathroom. Huge TV. Everything one could need in the kitchen, including both French press and drip coffee makers! Laundry facilities were a nice convenience. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at Megan's. The apartment was even bigger than it looked in the pictures. It was extremely comfortable. There was everything we needed. Megan even offered to set the sofa bed up in advance since we were getting in late. It is right across the street from the North Berkeley BART station, making it extremely easy to get everywhere we needed to go. There were lots of delicious restaurants a few blocks away. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Berkeley!

I counted 13 quality electrical appliances, a variety of bdthroom supplies and and even emergency necessities. The sleeping spaces were comfortable and high quality. The back deck was delightful. The oroperty very well kept. Communication reponsive amd speedy. The computer workspace and tv were superlative.

This is a great place to stay. The horse is spacious and clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. The Ohlone Path is just two houses away and is a great walking/jogging path in either direction. Easy to walk to coffee and restaurants.

Megan and Pete were amazing hosts and responsive! Thank you for the great cottage, it was a perfect and peaceful place to stay for my quick work trip. Street parking was very easy! Also, they had literally so many items (toiletries, tools, electronics, etc) if you forget to pack something they likely have you covered. I was too busy with work to check out the cool restaurants nearby but would recommend this for a fun trip too!

We had a great time. The cottage is clean, quiet, and comfortable. The Yale lock gave us easy entrance and locking the door. We got hot water quickly. Internet allowed texting and emails. Megan always responded to us and gave us accurate information everytime. Air conditioning in the cottage, often rare in Berkeley. Bed was great. We willl return for our next visit.
