Charming little house in one of the best locations in the Bay Area. There are at least two dozen restaurants within a 10-minute walk, as well as two great bookstores, lots of other shops, a supermarket and the Rockridge BART station (OK, maybe that's an 11-minute walk). It's also a quick ride into downtown Berkeley or Oakland on one of the Bay Wheels bikes available at a couple of nearby racks. And you're on a quiet, tree-lined block with an off-street parking space for your car. Hard to top that combination!
The "Birdhouse" itself is as advertised: "nothing fancy" but comfortable and functional. The hot water works and so does the WiFi. The WiFi works out in the courtyard, too, making it possible to use it as an outdoor office where you may be visited by Vennessa's (very good) dog.
