If you’re planning a trip to Berkeley you should consider staying with Nhu and Tom in the hills above the University of California campus. Their charming place is located in the Panoramic neighborhood. Their lovely wooded estate above the university offers a relaxing, park-like experience, with partial views across the bay. Flowers, fountains and stone pathways add to the charm outside of the efficiency apartment. Inside, the apartment is quaint, very clean, and nicely appointed - including coffee! Cal is just a 15 minute walk down some very cool old steps that lead to the side of Memorial Stadium. I highly recommend staying here. You’ll have one of the most uniquely pleasant stay/experience possible in the Berkeley area.
