Views, deck, and living space

This home is for travelers who want Hills quiet and a real view. You get Bay and Golden Gate views from a private deck, plus space for a family or couple to settle in without living out of a hotel room.

It is an upper-level home with two queen bedrooms. The layout suits a small family or two couples more than a downtown studio. If you need to walk to campus every day without a car, look downtown instead. If you want the views, the deck, and room to cook, this is the fit.

Kitchen, laundry, and parking

You have a full kitchen, not a kitchenette. Cook real meals. There is an in-unit washer and dryer, so you are not hunting for a laundromat mid-stay.

Parking is free driveway parking. There is no garage for guests. For a Hills stay with a car, that driveway is one of the clearest reasons to pick this home over the studios below.

Multi-unit property

This is a private upper-level unit. Two studios sit on the lower level at the same street address. Guests share a garden, courtyard, or gazebo with the property. That is not a fully private yard for the whole home. This unit has its own private deck.

Staff may access the garage for supplies. The studios are separate listings. This page is only about the view home.

Who this stay is for

Best for families or couples who want space, a full kitchen, and Bay and Golden Gate views from a private deck. Sleeps up to 5 with two queen bedrooms. A fit if you want free driveway parking and in-unit laundry. Not the right pick if you need to walk to campus.

Getting around

These three stays share one address in the Berkeley Hills. It is a quiet residential hillside, not downtown. Campus, downtown Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley Lab are a drive from here, not a walk. You’ll want a car or rideshare for school, Lab, shopping, and most evenings out.

Parking differs by unit:

  • View home: free driveway parking (no garage).
  • Studio Suite: free parking on premises.
  • Garden Studio: street parking only.

The Sunny Private Suite is at a different Hills address and includes free parking on premises.

The garden, courtyard, and gazebo are shared across the property. Check your Airbnb listing for exact check-in steps.

House rules

No smoking, pets, or parties. Heating is capped at 72°F. This is a calm residential stay, not an event space.

What guests say about this stay

Airbnb guests mention the Bay views, the kitchen, and a short drive to campus from the Hills. Not walkable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great place up in the hills and nearby the university. Great views. Kitchen is spacious and stocked with all we needed to our short visit with our boys to come watch Cal vs UCLA. Not walking distance to campus but a short uber ride away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a cozy two bedroom rental up in Berkeley Hills!! It is about a 9-10 minute drive to the north side of campus, which was where we needed to be on this trip to move in our student on campus. To get to the restaurants at Gourmet Ghetto, it is about a 7 minute drive. I relied on Uber to get around, but if you have a car, there is plenty of street parking and also a driveway suited for a smaller vehicle. The home is clean and looks like the pictures. The mattresses are comfy and the kitchen has all the basics. Most of all, the host was super responsive and always made us feel welcome!! We would love to stay again if we need to be near campus. One thing to note - The smaller bedroom has sheer shades so the light comes in even at night. We travel with eye masks but if you are light sensitive it is something to plan for. Thank you Nicole and friends!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place is fantastic. Ideal location perched up on the hill with a spectacular panoramic view from Oakland to Sausalito and beyond. It’s rare, but this place actually turned out better than the photos. Tilden Park hiking trails minutes up the road, North Berkeley Solano Ave restaurants and shops like 5 min drive. Not the cheapest place, but worth every penny. Thank you Nicole!
