Welcome to your cozy Secret Garden Cottage, a rustic retreat nestled in the heart of Downtown Berkeley. This charming cottage, tucked behind a front 3-unit building, offers privacy, comfort, and city convenience. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on the private patio, unwind under the stars in your serene garden oasis, and take advantage of the in-unit washer/dryer and designated parking spot.
This cottage exudes cozy, rustic charm with functional furnishings suitable for both short-term and long-term stays. The fully equipped kitchen features a full-size fridge and a smart countertop stove, complemented by a stocked coffee bar to kickstart your day. Enjoy the entire cottage rental with a private outdoor sitting area, and marvel at Berkeley's oldest oak tree just outside your door.
The cottage includes a designated parking spot, a significant advantage in this area where street parking can be tricky during peak hours.
Welcome to Downtown Berkeley, the vibrant heart of the city, offering a perfect blend of arts, culture, academia, and local flavor. Living here means you're just steps away from world-class dining, eclectic shops, historic theaters, and the legendary UC Berkeley campus. Explore the stunning architecture and botanical gardens of the UC Berkeley Campus, catch a Broadway-caliber show at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, or stock up on fresh produce at the Sunday Farmers' Market. With a walkable and bike-friendly environment, Downtown Berkeley BART station is just a 10-minute walk away, providing easy access to Oakland, San Francisco, and beyond.
Our charming backyard cabin offers a private, peaceful retreat tucked behind a front 3-unit building, complete with its own fenced area for extra privacy. Being in the heart of lively Downtown Berkeley, just a short 10-minute stroll to UC Berkeley, you'll be surrounded by the vibrant energy of a university town. Occasionally, you might hear the lively buzz of city life or student celebrations nearby, which is part of the authentic Berkeley experience. Please turn off all lights, heating, and cooling devices when leaving the apartment to ensure safety and save energy.
