Our wonderful 3 bedroom 2 bath home makes a perfect home base to explore the Bay Area! Sleeps up to 5 and is walking distance to BART and restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. Modern, clean and family friendly. A true GEM!
The space: Our home is filled with light and just feels like home. The front door enters into a living room with a large wrap around sofa perfect for long conversations, reading a book from our collection or watching a movie or show (we have subscriptions to YouTube TV, Netflix, and Disney+).
We love to cook and the kitchen is well appointed and stocked with most anything you’ll need. When you’re finished cooking you can enjoy your meal in the connected dining room or step out onto the deck and enjoy our backyard filled surrounded by plum, apricot, fig and lemon trees.
When it’s time for bed, you can head upstairs to the master bedroom with a comfortable queen sized bed and windows and sky lights that let in a ton of light.
Downstairs the guest bedroom has a queen sized bed and our son’s room a single bed (and a ton of toys and kids books)
The area: El Cerrito is just north of Berkely and provides easy access to the entire Bay Area. It’s a 15 minute walk to the BART station and a short 30 minute ride to San Francisco. There’s plenty to walk to with a famous bakery, 2 restaurants, a grocery store, and a farmers market (Sundays) a block and a half away. A 15 minute walk brings you to Solano Ave, a restaurant and shopping area with a lot of great options.
Come visit!

Hello from El Cerrito California! We're a family of three, Jim, Char and our son Ollie, a soon-to-be first grader (he's very proud of this). We love to travel (have been to 20+ countries), explore new area/cultures, and be outside and active. We can't wait to meet you!
