About this house rental

We, your hosts, are a married couple; Margarita is a business owner, Bob is a physician. Our children are grown and have moved out and our place is underutilized as we spend a lot of time in Santa Cruz. We'd like to offer our Berkeley home to you as a short term rental.. The house is spacious and well equipped and there is ample outdoor space for spending time with friends or family with social distancing.

We have a 7 night minimum but may at times accept shorter stays The home has two bedrooms and one bath as well as a living room, a dining room, a pantry, and a breakfast nook. There is plenty of privacy. When we are in Berkeley we stay in back in a cottage. We enter via a driveway and would not be close to you when we stay in Berkeley.

Please note that the City of Berkeley charges a 14% tax for short term rentals.. If you rent our home for fewer than 14 nights you will need to pay this directly to us and we will forward it to the city. There is no tax for longer stays. We have a zoning certificate - # ZCSTR2017-0022.

The normal rent is $220.00 / night. During certain times of the year (Thanksgiving, Xmas, and most dates in May (University of Berkeley graduation) the rate is $250.00 / night This rate for two guests. There is a charge of $20.00 / night for any additional guests. The maximum number of guests is four.

Our house is meticulously maintained, clean, airy, and fully equipped. It is located on a tree-lined street in what is generally considered to be one of the most desirable areas of Berkeley, close to wonderful restaurants, shops, and walking streets.

Our place is perfect for visiting scholars, scientists, business or creative people and for tourists who prefer the peace and quiet of this lovely East Bay city. Many of our guests have been people with children and grandchildren or other relatives or friends in the area. There is easy and fast access to downtown San Francisco via public transportation; bus and BART stations are in walking distance from our house.

Parking is on the street but is not a problem - often you can park directly in front of the house. No sticker is needed. Occasionally parking might be a half block or at most 1 block away

We returned to the Bay Area to explore eventually retiring there since we went to college at UC Berkeley and Santa Cruz. Bob and Margarita's house was perfect in so many ways! In a nice area of town, close to fantastic restaurants, the campus, and with easy access to SF across the bay and Marin County, we took daily day trips to the ocean and other favorite spots! The house was nicely decorated, very clean and had every little thing one could want. The hosts made themselves easily available if we had needed assistance-which we did not. Probably the best VRBO we have ever had! Will stay again if we can.

This property was the perfect annex for friends attending a reunion with us in Berkeley. It was close, comfortable, and cozy. Communications with Robert, the owner, were prompt and easy. Couldn’t have asked for more.

My husband and I stayed for about ten days in this exquisite home. The house itself is spacious, well-stocked, beautifully decorated, and carefully maintained. The neighborhood is lovely, with parks and shops within an easy walking distance along tree-lined streets. A sweet library is a stone’s throw away. I’d stay in this perfect spot every time I visited Berkeley, if I could…
