Imagine relaxing in your warm and bright studio apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the bay and treetops. Imagine falling asleep in your comfy bed while watching the city lights twinkle.

If this is the type of place you imagine staying in during your trip to Berkeley than our lovely Zen Den studio is the stop for you!

Our beautiful studio apartment is located in a very quiet neighborhood in the prestigious North Berkeley Hills. The space is not a detached unit. It is an in-law unit which is attached to a lovely mid-century modern home. The studio has its own off-street parking spaces, private entrance and private 2-tiered deck and yard area with an outdoor couch, dining set for4 and a HOT TUB! The attached main house does not share any of these amenities and won't interfere with your privacy. The studio is bright and cheery with newer furniture and fun Zen-themed decor. Looking for a break from the stresses of life? We’re all about chilling out at the Zen Den! Relax in your large outdoor living space surrounded by nature. Watch deer prance down the street and listen to the birds sing.

It's many features include:

-Beautiful BAY VIEWS from the deck, hot tub and living room/bedroom!

Please note! There is an extra pet fee of $25 per booking. Please let me know you are traveling with pets and I’ll charge you the fee. :) Please note that this is a studio space so it is small. It's ideal 1 or 2 people OR a couple and children. And the studio is located in a very quiet part of Berkeley. But it is still in the city. So expect some normal city noise occasionally of course. Our home is a legal and licensed vacation rental! PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommended that guests get trip insurance for their trip. We do not give refunds for weather-related cancellations or illness/ injury related cancellations unless they fall without the cancellation timelines. We DO NOT give refunds for the Coronavirus. Trip insurance is available via many providers for little money. I recommend looking at this website for more quotes and more info: https://www.squaremouth.com

Quiet spot tucked into the Berkeley Hills. Within 6 blocks of shattuck shopping but keep in mind it’s also 225 ft above shattuck—those last 2 blocks are killers carrying groceries but thankfully Uber’s are cheap. If you have a car, it has the best setup for parking of ANY place I’ve stayed in Berkeley...your own private spot! None of this on street parking permit stuff driving around for 15 minutes looking for a spot or sharing a driveway with 6 other cars! Great bed and sofa with kitchen capable of handling breakfast and lunch with no problems.

The property listing was accurate and perfect for our mini vacation. Bring your own knife or a sharpener, the knives in the kitchen are very dull. You may also want to bring extra towels. We had two bathroom towels and one beach towel. Not enough for 2 people to shower and enjoy the hot tub. I also had a hard time getting a response to my emails. You have to call the cleaning lady when the unit is vacated and because I was driving and late for an appointment, I didn't actually get to call her for about a half hour after we left; she basically yelled at me that check out was at 11. I tried to explain to her our situation and that the cleaning crew never showed up while we were there but I didn't get the impression she spoke very good English. Overall I would give The Zen Den 4 out of 5 stars.

I've secretly wished to live up in Berkeley Hills. This was my gift to me and hubby. And we've had a comfortable stay. We walked everywhere, everyday. Felt safe in the neighborhood even at night. Enjoyed the view esp. at night when all the lights were lit. We esp. appreciated the quiet. The only thing to mention: shower faucet needs fixing. Thank you.

This was a super cute place with a charming deck to hang out on. There are great views of the city because the place is built up on a hill. We had four people in our party. I would recommend not having any more than three people, which I think that’s what it called for anyway. The place is efficient, cozy and has everything you may need, and fits three comfortably.

We loved our stay here. So quiet yet close to everything. Greeted by all kinds of wildlife at all hours of the day and night but still in the city.

The Zen Den is lovely! Great location with dedicated parking. Centrally located to downtown Berkeley and major freeways. Also a very easy jaunt to N. California wine country. You’ll want to bring your swimsuit along to take advantage of the hot tub. The deck is a gem for reading, relaxing and meditating. Small place but suited our needs very well, and was even slightly more spacious than expected. Very clean and well-appointed. Hot tub and grill were ready to go, and we used them quite a bit. Views from the deck are lovely and made for a perfect retreat from the grind. Tracy was responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again! Tracy is extremely responsive and a great resource for any questions your may have. We appreciate the thoughtful touches like coffee, wine and the book selection.
