I almost did not write a review to prevent too many people from discovering this marvelous house. It was everything we hoped to find and more. Great layout, open yet cozy, awesome bay views. Would have no problem moving there permanently.

Nicole's house was lovely. The neighbor hood is peaceful and quiet with spectacular views. Parking was plentiful. The house itself is immaculate and clutter free. All rooms are very nice size and spacious. We were very comfortable there. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking at the panoramic views of the city, bay and bridges. We were visiting for our daughter's UC Berkeley graduation and the location has great proximity to the campus.

Find us

While the neighborhood feels peaceful and tucked away, getting around is easy with a car. UC Berkeley is just a 7-minute drive, and the nearest BART station is about 10 minutes away for convenient access to San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available. Street parking is free and generally easy to find right near the property. Please note that the area is hilly and best navigated by car rather than on foot or by bike.
