We’re near the intersection of Jefferson and Dwight, in Central Berkeley. The cottage is 10-15 minutes from the University of California, Berkeley campus by bus, and the bus stop is a 2-minute walk away. We’re a 5-minute walk from a coffeshop, corner store, and restaurants. We’re a 10-15 minute walk to Downtown Berkeley (Shattuck Avenue). Street parking is easy and doesn't require a permit. If you prefer to bike instead of drive, we're in the flat part of Berkeley, so walking and biking are easy.
