Elsie's place is just as advertised, with outstanding views of the Bay, excellent amenities and a fully functional kitchen. Great hikes in Claremont canyon or the Clark Kerr fire trail are literally walking distance. Trader Joe's is only a few minutes driving away to get all your groceries. Unlike many Berkeley homes, Elsie's place is extremely well insulated with good heating. Communication with her was quick and checking in / out was easy. We can't wait to be back!
