Nate’s bright cheery well-designed studio apartment was a perfect base for our visit to the East Bay for our daughter’s graduation. We were early risers, still on Oklahoma time, so our daughter and her boyfriend could enjoy sleeping in at their place a few blocks away while we enjoyed the fresh eggs and coffee Nate provided with the few additions we picked up at the Berkeley Bowl. We stayed 4 nights and appreciated being able to unpack into the chests on each side of the bed and hang up our clothes on the under the shelf rods and hangers provided. Nate has thought of everything. The kitchen is well stocked allowing you to cook all your meals during your stay if desired, but there are so many great dining options in the area. One morning we enjoyed a second breakfast of sweet and savory pastries from Sweet Adeline’s, we had a lovely graduation celebration at the Japanese restaurant Kirala sharing a selection of appetizers, small plates, and 2 entrees for the four of us and plenty of warm sake, and finally we stuffed ourselves with Southern fried chicken, eggs, biscuits, and grits at Sunday brunch at Lois the Pie Queen. We introduced our "local" children to some new experiences thanks to Nate's helpful suggestions. The Ashby Bart is within easy walking making Nate’s place a great choice for going into San Francisco, but for this trip we had a relaxing long weekend and East Bay experience. I would definitely stay here again.
