The space

The apartment is recently remodeled with quality appliances and fixtures. The space is very suitable for two adults, or two adults and an infant. Very sunny with beautiful garden areas.

Guest access:

Guest are more than welcome to enjoy the garden areas.

Interaction with guests:

We are semi-retired and work at home so we are here most of the time to offer any assistance. We like experiencing new people and hearing about their lives and travels. We also understand that some people want to have more privacy and we are glad to accommodate them as well. We will make every effort to help you enjoy your stay in the Bay Area.

Other things to note:

South Berkeley has the best micro-climate in the Bay Area. We are part of an area that is known as the banana belt, i.e., very little fog compared to north Berkeley. It is a short walk to BART (METRO) and Berkeley Bowl (an excellent unique grocery store). We are about a 10 minute drive to Tilden Park, the Berkeley Marina or the Gourmet Ghetto.

About Me
Kent Jones and Shuji Ikeda: We have lived at this house in Berkeley since 1986. We live in a flat upstairs and rent two one bedroom apartments down below us. Until 2015 we used the downstairs units for our own businesses. Shuji is a ceramic artist and professor of ikebana, and Kent is retired from property management and bookkeeping. We both like gardening and Shuji still teaches some ikebana classes. We also both trained as Feldenkrais practitioners. We have been renting these units through airbnb for the last couple of years and we greatly enjoyed meeting and hosting guest from all over the world. We live quiet lives and would like to rent to like minded people, i.e., we have quiet hours from 10 pm to 7 am.

We really enjoyed our 4 month stay in Kent and Shuji’s nice apartment. The apartment is quite newly renovated, nicely furnished and has a big, very well equipped and modern kitchen. The apartment is bright and has a cozy atmosphere and there are a lot of beautiful plants and flowers all around the house and in the garden. Kent and Shuji, who live upstairs, are very helpful and kind hosts, who are always available if you have questions or need help with something. At the same time, they give you privacy. There is easy street parking with no permit required just in front of the house and BART, bus, shopping (Berkeley Bowl!) and restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walking distance. We felt very safe walking around in the neighborhood (which is also very quiet at night). Excellent Markus H 7/12/2019 4:08:00 PM
