Susie's place is located in a safe, quiet middle class neighborhood within blocks of Berkeley and convenient to the amenities of College Ave. and the UC Campus. There is also easy access to the freeway system and a BART Station. Entry to the second floor apartment is by a pretty steep stairway, so if you have serious knee or hip problems the inside stairs will be a challenge. There is a back outside stairs that's much easier. The decor is interesting, eclectic and art heavy. Plenty of room for 4 people. Susie has a large collection of cook books if you need a recipe for cooking in the well appointed kitchen. No TV or stereo, so bring your laptop. Actually, we enjoyed the peace and quiet. This is a place much better than the commercial chain hotels mostly located on the freeway system or the dowager Claremont hotel. Good value for the money.
