  Unit Description

  Welcome to your big sunny 1-bedroom garden apartment with reduced EMFs. It is in the bottom floor of a sunny, remodeled 2-story Queen Anne Cottage (with 3 apartments altogether). Available July 1. The average rating from past guests is 4.88 out of 5. We are honoring this website’s rules by not posting external website links. But when you contact us, we can send you a link to read these reviews. Cats OK, but absolutely no dogs. You have two rental options: OPTION 1 ---- If you put the water, gas, and electric bills in your own name, rent is $2450/month. OPTION 2 ---- If you'd rather not activate utilities in your own name, rent is $2599/month and I cover the first $150 of water, gas, and electric. You pay any overage. EITHER WAY, we pay for trash pickup. There's a queen-sized sofa bed in your living room (with a Sealy Posturepedic mattress), as well as a queen -sized Swedish foam mattress in your bedroom. Your bathroom is big, sunny, and has a full-sized bathtub. Your entrance is in the fenced back yard, which has fruit trees, bamboos, and when the weather is nice, you can enjoy my private fenced backyard, which has a table and two chairs. - 650 square feet (bigger than many 2-bedroom apartments) - Sunny windows on three sides - Two closets, including a huge bedroom closet - Extra-large kitchen with huge sunny window - Dining area separate from kitchen RECENT RENOVATIONS: - New double pane windows - New kitchen cupboards - New heater - New Pergo flooring (looks like hardwood) - New paint - New fridge - New stainless steel kitchen sink - New bathroom vanity - New faucets, doorknobs, ceiling lights, etc. It's in a safe and quiet part of Oakland, minutes from Berkeley and Rockridge (an upscale neighborhood with great ethnic restaurants.) - Quiet street with trees, not a through street - The only people who drive here are the neighbors. - Area is very flat, so it's easy to bike around town. The UC Berkeley campus is about 2 miles away. If you want to take a bus there, you can catch the AC transit bus one block from my house. It's also an easy bike ride (2 miles away). It's about 1 mile from the nearest BART subway stations (Ashby or Rockridge), and a little more than a mile from Whole Foods and the locally famous Berkeley Bowl. The AC Transit bus (which stops one block away) can take you to the subway station, the grocery store, or the UC Berkeley campus. By car, you'll be about 8 minutes from the Bay bridge. You get one offstreet parking spot. There’s plenty of space to park on our street, and no permit is required. For your personal laundry, there are two door-to-door laundry services nearby that will pick up your laundry, wash, dry, fold, and return it the next day: Hambrick Laundry and J&L Laundry. Two weeks of laundry is about $30. If you're on a budget, my ex-girlfriend (for whom ambiance is very important!) recommends Washingtown. It is 11 blocks away. It is clean, there is parking, there are large skylights and plants inside. ABOUT EMFS To reduce EMFs in my triplex, I’ve covered all three of my building’s Smart Meters with faraday cages. All of the tenants in my triplex use low-EMF wifi routers, and I’ll provide you with one too. It will save you from paying Sonic (or Comcast) a $10/month modem rental fee. You can get free high speed Internet from Sonic for the first three months. LOCATION It's about 1 mile from the nearest BART subway stations (Ashby or Rockridge), and a little more than a mile from Whole Foods and the locally famous Berkeley Bowl. If you walk 3 blocks east to Telegraph Ave and turn north, you'll find: Addis Ethiopian Restaurant Saysetha Thai Restaurant Nude Sushi Cafe Colucci (Ethiopian Restaurant) Pizza Hut Nick's Pizza 57th St Gallery (jazz night club) Nomad Café Jumpin' Java Cafe And if you walk 7 blocks south -- to the Temescal neighborhood -- you can enjoy: Peet's Coffee Abesha Ethiopian Restaurant Juhu Beach Club (Indian Restaurant) Temescal Produce Market La Calaca Loca Taqueria Genova (Italian) Delicatessen Round Table Pizza The Cheese Shop There are also two Farmer's Market's in walking distance. Every Tuesday from 2 - 6:30pm, you can walk to the South Berkeley Farmer's Market. And every Sunday from 10am-1pm, you can walk to the Temescal Farmer's Market. Both are VERY festive, with a variety of live musicians, music groups, and vendors selling freshly made ethnic food. The AC Transit bus (which stops one block away) can take you to the subway station, the grocery store, or the UC Berkeley campus. By car, you'll be about 8 minutes from the Bay bridge. There’s plenty of space to park on our street, and no permit is required. For your personal laundry, there are two door-to-door laundry services nearby that will pick up your laundry, wash, dry, fold, and return it the next day: Hambrick Laundry and J&L Laundry. Two weeks of laundry is about $30. If you're on a budget, my ex-girlfriend (for whom ambiance is very important!) recommends Washingtown. It is 11 blocks. It is clean, there is parking, and there are large skylights and plants inside. I prefer renting to people who book the suite for one or more *calendar* months (i.e from the 1st day of any month to the last day of any month). CLEANING If you leave the studio immaculate when you vacate, great! But being honest, most tenants don't leave the space thoroughly clean and hygienic for the next tenant. And that's OK; it's why I have a professional cleaning lady. My past tenants appreciated the convenience of leaving the deep cleaning to her. Most paid between $100 and $200 for a final cleaning. If additional cleaning is needed when you vacate, I will show you the receipt from my cleaning lady. DISCLAIMERS I live upstairs with a friend. Except for occasional singing and piano playing (before 10pm), we don't play loud music or TV. We also don't wear shoes inside. But you will still hear us walking around. You will also hear water running when we shower or flush the upstairs toilet. And you'll hear us opening and closing our back door. In the past, most of my downstairs guests and tenants were used to living in apartments or multi-family houses. So this was no big deal. But if you're a light sleeper or noise-sensitive, please see my other listing for a 2-room suite with private bathroom in my flat *upstairs*. That would probably fit you better! When the upstairs guests come and go, you will see them walking along the side of the house, right outside your kitchen window. We provide the first roll of paper towels and toilet paper. However, once you move in, we no longer provide these supplies. We don't provide dish washing liquid, sponges, trash bags, or similar supplies either. When tree branches or significant weeds intrude on the walkway from your front door to your parking spot, we will trim them. However, to keep our costs down (and pass the savings onto you), we only hire a gardener to weed the rest of our yard, trim trees and bushes, and pi
