Wonderful Home Away From Home!
We spent 3 months during the summer of 2018 renting this lovely home while our home was being renovated. The home had everything we needed and was in a quiet, but fun part of town. It was just far enough away from our own home that we got to explore another side of Berkeley and we enjoyed being close to the Cal campus. There are great restaurants and shops within close walking distance and you'll be sure to get a little cardio exercise while walking around the hills. Kaethe and Hilary were welcoming and responsive to all of our needs and just all around great hosts. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

very nice place to stay for the family
We had been there for 3 months and enjoyed it. Optimal location walking distance to parks, small shops, restaurants and campus. BART round the corner. Plenty of room for a small family. Beautiful small front terrace and small backyard with flowers and trees. Landlord is very helpful in every aspect and it's obvious that they love their place. The house is very well equipped - everything you need for a normal life. What to say more, go for it when it's free!

About the host

Hosted by Hilary Worthen

Host profile image
We are retired Harvard Medical School Faculty members who moved to the Bay Area to be with children and grandchildren. We still spend summers on the East Coast, so our lovely Berkeley home is available to rent.

Why they chose this property

Close enough for easy walking to Cal and Shattuck shopping, but high enough to get the big Bay views. Very quiet.

What makes this property unique

Our home is in a wonderful location: walk to events on the Berkeley Campus or to dinner at the fabulous restaurants such as Chez Panisse that are 5 blocks away. Walk to Downtown Berkeley BART in 18 minutes, or take the bus half a block away. You then have easy access to all of the East Bay and San Francisco. Or Drive 7 minutes to the enormous Tilden Park spanning the ridge above Berkeley, and enjoy 360 degree views of San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay and Mt. Diablo. Or just stay home and dine out on the deck, or read in our lovely study while you watch the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge.
