My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Karla's apt. The neighborhood was quiet, the deck view was lovely, and the room was just perfect for us. A lot of kitchen amenities, well stocked linens, etc. Karla was easy to communicate with, and the property was surprisingly easy to get to from downtown Berkeley. We give this the perfect score; a wonderful place to stay!

Great location in the Berkeley Hills

The place has been perfect for us. The kitchen is great with all the little things we need to prepare food plus the extras like storage containers, aluminum foil and even parchment paper and composting. The bed is very comfortable. We enjoyed having dinner on the deck with a view of the bay. The cover for the outdoor furniture keeps it fresh and clean. We appreciate having a spot to park in the driveway. The location is ideal and it has been easy to get to the various places we have been going in Berkeley and Albany as well as walks through the roads and paths in the hills. We look forward to staying here again.

Perfect hillside getaway

Karla’s studio is an ideal pied a terre. It’s an easy walk to campus, cafes, restos and shops. While close to amenities it also offers privacy and serenity as it’s tucked into the hillside, surrounded by trees and gardens. The studio was very clean and well appointed. Karla was a warm host, helpful and responsive to questions. I already dream of returning!
