The house can comfortably sleep up to five (if two share the Cal-king bed, two share the full/queen inflatable mattress or one sleeps there and one on the sofa next to it) plus one more on a single bed.

If you need to accommodate another individual or couple there is an additional unit attached to the home that we also rent out. See our other listing to view photos of that unit. There's a soundproofed double wall between the house and that unit, so neither side is usually aware of the other.

Our cleaning person will come just before you arrive so the house will be in great shape for you.

5 minute walk to amazing cafés restaurants and groceries stores.

10-15 minute walk from Central and North Berkeley BART stations.

That’s it! Our friends all call our house the Hobbit Castle. It is very cozy and comfortable.

We look forward to hearing from you!
