The Neighborhood:
The studio is in the Elmwood residential district, 1 block from Telegraph Avenue, 2 blocks from College Avenue, close to public transport. You could easily manage without a car. The location has a walk score of 94 which classifies it as a “Walker’s Paradise”!
It’s 5-10 minutes’ walk from numerous ethnic and specialty restaurants (Italian, Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, French, Japanese, burgers, pizza, Swiss-style fondue, Chinese, Korean barbecue, a Subway), coffee houses, bookstores, vintage clothing stores, music stores, and student hangouts.
A large CVS pharmacy is a block away, and Whole Foods is 4 minutes by car or a 12 minute walk (5 blocks).
Access:
There are buses on Telegraph or College Avenues to downtown Berkeley, BART stations (Bay Area Rapid Transit system), Oakland and San Francisco. The Claremont Hotel & Conference Center is just over a mile away. There is freeway access either at Telegraph Avenue & 55th Street (about 2 miles) or Ashby Avenue (about 3 miles) where you can drive to San Francisco, Oakland, Marin County & the Golden Gate Bridge, Napa Valley, and Lake Tahoe. Twenty minutes driving (outside rush hours!) will take you to San Francisco across the Bay Bridge. If you take BART from the Rockridge station, it’s about a 20 minute ride to SF. From Ashby or downtown Berkeley, it takes a little longer since there is a change of train required.
Price
• In addition to the quoted rent, we ask for a security deposit of $600 (it will be refunded at the end of your stay, assuming no damage claims).
• Our rate is all-inclusive. We pay the Berkeley business license tax, but it is not charged to you.
The fine print:
• Strictly no smoking anywhere in the apartment, on the deck or on the property! A Berkeley City ordinance prohibits it in apartments and common areas of multi-unit dwellings.
• This is a generally quiet residential neighborhood, and we want to keep it that way.
• Sorry, no pets.
• Please respect your neighbors.
• The apartment will be cleaned and stocked with initial supplies before you arrive. Cleaning service can be arranged on request for an extra charge.
