Price
• Our rate is all-inclusive. We pay the Berkeley business license tax and the rent registration fees, but those items are not charged to you.
The Fine Print:
• No smoking anywhere in the apartment or the building! It's prohibited by Berkeley law in multi-family buildings. We don't allow smoking of any kind, including "vaping" (e-cigarettes).
• Please remove your shoes, or wear soft shoes or slippers inside the apartment. The apartment has hardwood floors, and your downstairs neighbors will appreciate your efforts to reduce the sound from footsteps and other activities where the noise may carry.
• Please, no parties or other loud noise. This is a quiet residential building, and we want to keep it that way!
• Sorry, no pets.
