Photos and Description of this Berkeley holiday house 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

Berkeley's historical Elmwood House! A very early and prominent landmark in Berkeley's sought-after Elmwood district. This is one of Berkeley's grand old dames, an original turn-of-the-century period residence with much character and wonderful architectural detail. Located in one of Berkeley's most loved neighborhoods where family pot-luck dinners are common on front lawns throughout summer, tree-lined streets are teeming with kids on bicycles, neighbors gather on front porches and street corners, and history and brown shingle homes abound! This lovely quintessential Berkeley home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a friendly neighborhood. A bright and spacious period residence, this luxuriously appointed home is ideally located within walking distance of College and Telegraph Avenues where you will find fine dining, ethnic restaurants, bookstores, theatre, Berkeley's university campus, and more

Elmwood is a much loved and historical town in the city of Berkeley. It is close to CAL or UC Berkeley, and the East Bay Regional Park district. There are great farmer's markets daily throughout Berkeley and the San Francisco bay.Sheltered by rolling hills and the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley is a vibrant and spirited city of surpassing richness. Within Berkeley's 18 square miles, a visitor can hear a symphony or a jazz quartet, stroll through a redwood forest or a rose garden, shop for Tibetan jewelry or sportswear from The Gap, play a round of golf, take a yoga class, catch a world-premiere play or first-run film, embark on a sport fishing excursion or enjoy an architectural walking tour. Consummately Californian in its setting — but international in its cultural landscape — Berkeley is also home to the University of California, Berkeley, which lends an academic air to the entire city.

Beautiful home in fabulous location

Souzanne Emeryville, CA
Review Submitted: July 18, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This turn-of-the-century Edwardian Colonial Revival Berkeley home is replete with wonderful architectural detail and beautiful interior design. The owner's careful attention to detail gives it the feel of a warm and loved private home rather than a place for rent. Her style and impeccable taste are evident throughout, with high-end furniture, fine-quality fabrics, and gorgeous bed linens. The colors are beautifully coordinated, sophisticated, and enhanced by the many windows and sunlight in every room. The entire space, design and mood flow seamlessly, artistically, and restfully. Additionally, there is every item needed for comfort, efficiency, and luxurious living, including a great selection of books, videos and maps, which we used regularly. Elmwood House is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, and in a wonderful historic Berkeley town called 'The Elmwood.' Within minutes of the front door are parks, shopping, cafes, restaurants, movie theater, Cal Performances, and much to see and do. This is one of my favorite places, and I try to visit as frequently as I can. Loved this home and location, and the owner (Maura) is so accommodating and welcoming. I miss my evening walks to College Avenue to eat out at the many great restaurants, and then waiting in line for the gourmet ice-cream at Ici.

Nice place for romantic getaway

Haha Kildare Ireland
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I recommend this house strongly. Its in a great private location in a really upmarket area. The house itself is very well furnished and kept beautifully. The house has got a very central location and gives easy access to great restraunts and all the sites.

Highly recommended

UK Reviewer -great house to see all Bay Area from

Ibbles from UK UK, London
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
An excellent location to see all of the bay area from. The house is really exceptional and is arranged just like a family home. Verty well decorated with really good bed linen and other nice touches. Bekely uitself was agreat experience - very friendly university town with lots of history and plenty to do if you dont feel like going much farther afield. I stayed here for only one week and am alreday planning to go back to the same place when I go to SanFrisco on business later this year - I am going to take the house for a week myself. It was that good and so much nicer than staying in a hotel..

Old world class & charm, fantastic Berkeley locale

Annie D. santa rosa, CA
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I highly recommend this lovely home for anyone looking for a classy, spacious rental in one of Berkeley's best neighborhoods. Hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, fully stocked gourmet kitchen, luxuriously comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood, beautiful furniture, and lots of natural light through large windows. Easy walking distance to the best restaurants and shops along College Avenue. The most beautiful and well-located home-away-from-home I've ever stayed at in the Bay Area.

Charm, comfort, and close to College.

HenryK Berkeley, California
Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
I highly recommend this rental!! If you are seeking a great pied-à-terre that has ambience, comfort, and charm with close proximity to campus, great restaurants, and shopping then check out this rental. It is tastefully furnished with new everything, including beautiful bedding, furniture, cookware, appliances (blenders, griddle, etc.), two sets of dishes, and a Bosch gas range. It is located on a dead-end street with no noisy through traffic and the neighbors are really cordial. It has Comcast cable and a color TV, even a garage and backyard for storage of bikes and boxes. The owner was very kind and made me feel at home, accommodating my every request during my visit April through June 2009. I checked out many other places but either the location or the furnishings were not first class like this one.
