About

Welcome to your West Berkeley base camp. This private, fully detached 1 bed / 1 bath + office bungalow sits on a quiet bike boulevard, two blocks from an e-bike station. Walk to Third Culture Bakery, CoRo Coffee, Berkeley Bowl West, Vik's Chaat, and the shops and restaurants on 4th Street. Aquatic Park is minutes away and we're equidistant to North Berkeley and Ashby BART. Your hosts, Victoria & Ryan, live in the front house -- we give you space, but we're around if you need a recommendation.

Good to know

The West Berkeley Bungalow is a private, fully detached 1-bedroom + office ADU located on the grounds of our property. Unlike a room in a shared home or a unit in an apartment building, this is a standalone bungalow with its own entrance, its own front door, and no shared walls -- just your own quiet space to settle into. The bungalow features two rooms: a bedroom with a queen-size bed and a closet with hangers, and a second room set up as a dedicated home office with a proper desk and chair. The office also has a twin sofa bed and closet, making it a comfortable option for a second guest if needed. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stovetop, oven, microwave, kettle, refrigerator, and dishwasher, along with cookware, utensils, and tupperware for storing leftovers -- everything you need to cook a proper meal or keep things simple with takeout. The space is bright and airy, with south and west-facing windows that flood the rooms with natural light -- especially in the afternoons. The bungalow is furnished with pieces we've personally chosen and cared for over the years, and finished with longer stays in mind. We hope you'll feel at home here and treat it accordingly. A couple of things worth knowing: we live in the main house at the front of the property, so you may occasionally see us coming and going -- but the bungalow is fully private and we'll never intrude on your space. We're also located near train tracks, so you may hear a train pass from time to time. It's never bothered us, but if you're a light sleeper, we've left earplugs on the nightstand just in case.

Neighborhood

West Berkeley is one of the most distinctive and livable corners of the East Bay — a neighborhood that manages to feel both creative and residential, industrial and walkable, all at once. You're in a part of Berkeley that locals love precisely because it hasn't been polished into something generic. The Vibe The streets are quiet and tree-lined, the pace is unhurried, and the bicycle boulevards make it easy to get around without a car. You're close enough to the energy of downtown Berkeley and Oakland, but far enough away to actually decompress at the end of the day. Food & Coffee Some of Berkeley's best eating is right outside your door. Berkeley Bowl West — widely considered one of the finest grocery stores in California — is less than half a mile away. Third Culture Bakery is a short walk for mochi muffins and lattes, CoRo Coffee Room is your neighborhood go-to for excellent espresso, and Vik's Chaat serves some of the best Indian street food in the entire Bay Area. The shops and restaurants of 4th Street — including Iyasare and Tacubaya — are a relaxed 10–15 minute stroll. Outdoors & the Waterfront Aquatic Park is minutes away — a peaceful lagoon loop that's perfect for morning runs or evening walks. From there you can connect to the Bay Trail and cycle north toward Richmond or south through Emeryville and into Oakland along the waterfront. The Berkeley Marina and Cesar Chavez Park are a short ride away for open skies and sweeping Bay views.

Guest Access

You'll have full, private access to the bungalow for the duration of your stay. The unit has its own dedicated entrance via a keypad-coded door -- no keys to worry about losing. Please note that we're currently in the process of some landscaping work on the property, so you may see activity in the outdoor areas from time to time. For any packages or deliveries, please coordinate with us in advance so we can arrange for the delivery driver to drop off at the main house, as the bungalow entrance is not directly accessible from the street.

Find us

The neighborhood sits on a dedicated bicycle boulevard with a Bay Wheels e-bike share station two blocks away, making car-free exploration genuinely easy. Both North Berkeley and Ashby BART stations are equidistant at about 5–7 minutes by car, putting San Francisco about 25–30 minutes away by train. The location is particularly convenient for visitors to UC Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the dense biotech and tech corridor in Emeryville — all easily reachable by bike or BART.
