House rules

Unfortunately we are unable to host any type of party day or night, including baby showers or graduations. Quiet time is after 10 PM. Please be considerate of the neighbors and especially the residents living in your pocket neighborhood. The Covid-19 pandemic and its many variants force us to be friendly from a distance. We have a No Burn Policy: No smoking, no vaping, no incense. No drugs.

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.

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!
