2 Bedroom House in Berkeley

We, your hosts, are a married couple; Margarita is a business owner, Bob is a physician. Our children are grown and have moved out and our place is underutilized as we spend a lot of time in Santa Cruz. We'd like to offer our Berkeley home to you as a short term rental.. The house is spacious and well equipped and there is ample outdoor space for spending time with friends or family with social distancing.
We have a 7 night minimum but may at times accept shorter stays The home has two bedrooms and one bath as well as a living room, a dining room, a pantry, and a breakfast nook. There is plenty of privacy. When we are in Berkeley we stay in back in a cottage. We enter via a driveway and would not be close to you when we stay in Berkeley.
Please note that the City of Berkeley charges a tax for short term rentals.. The rate is 12% plus a 2% administrative fee so the total is 14%. If you rent our home for fewer than 14 nights you will need to pay this directly to us and we will forward it to the city. There is no tax for longer stays. We have a zoning certificate - # ZCSTR2017-0022.
The normal rent is $220.00 / night. During certain times of the year (Thanksgiving, Xmas, and most dates in May (University of Berkeley graduation) the rate is $250.00 / night This rate for two guests. There is a charge of $20.00 / night for any additional guests. The maximum number of guests is four.
Our house is meticulously maintained, clean, airy, and fully equipped. It is located on a tree-lined street in what is generally considered to be one of the most desirable areas of Berkeley, close to wonderful restaurants, shops, and walking streets.
Our place is perfect for visiting scholars, scientists, business or creative people and for tourists who prefer the peace and quiet of this lovely East Bay city. Many of our guests have been people with children and grandchildren or other relatives or friends in the area. There is easy and fast access to downtown San Francisco via public transportation; bus and BART stations are in walking distance from our house.
Parking is on the street but is not a problem - often you can park directly in front of the house. No sticker is needed. Occasionally parking might be a half block or at most 1 block away

Summary: We stayed in this Berkeley house for 2 weeks in August. It was a perfect location and a very comfortable, impeccably clean house. Near to restaurants and cafes, ample parking on the street, short walk from bus stops and with a sweet public library right around the corner. All rooms exactly as pictured. The living room had comfortable furniture for lounging and the dining room was great for a couple of dinners with family and old friends in the area. There's a lovely back deck, perfect for afternoon through early evening (though a bit chilly in the AM when the fog or clouds hadn't yet burned off). There are steps in the front, but you can enter from the rear of the house via a ramp. My brother and his partner visited and kept remarking on how amazingly clean and fresh the space was. Our hosts were easy to reach and very helpful. The kitchen is a little small (but not so small by our NYC standards), very well equipped. We had a lovely relaxed time and would definitely consider coming back for future trips to the East Bay.
