Furnished Albany Garden Cottage Near Solano Avenue Berkeley

Description

Furniture, household items including sheets and towels, utilities, fast internet -- even lemons -- are all included. This lovely clean cottage is suitable for one person or a couple, and would be convenient for UCB visiting scholars, post-docs, graduate students or faculty members looking for off-campus housing. The dates can be flexible. Located only 3 miles from the UC Berkeley campus in Albany (adjacent to North Berkeley), the cottage has two rooms with vaulted ceilings and skylights. The bedroom has a queen bed, a desk, a small TV, dressers and a large closet. The kitchen/living room combination has a gas cooktop and a microwave/convection oven. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower. The cottage, with a private entrance, is in the quiet landscaped backyard garden of the main house. Occasionally Winnie, our quiet and cute chihuahua, sunbathes in the yard. Albany is a very desirable and friendly neighborhood. Our location in the Garfield section of Albany has the very high walk score of 95 (Walker's Paradise), which means that most errands can be done on foot. The bike score is 97 (Biker’s Paradise). We are in easy walking/biking distance of famous Solano Avenue with its large variety of shops, cafes, and international restaurants, and we are also in close walking distance of the El Cerrito Plaza BART station, Peet's Coffee, El Cerrito Plaza's farmer's market, Trader Joe’s and other shopping and services. As a recent renter said, “This has been a sweet retreat of a place for me. I enjoy so much about it, like those red leaves the afternoon sun sets aglow right outside the bedroom window, being able to look out and see greenery, the sun on your patio, how thoughtfully you’ve set up and furnished the cottage.”
