Oakland, California, United States
A beautiful walk to UC Berkeley and Alta Bates. Places to eat include: Pizzaiolo, Shangri-La Vegan, Bakesale Betty, Cholita Linda, Wood Tavern, and all sorts of other great places on College and Telegraph Avenue. Whole Foods and the Tuesday and Sunday Farmers Markets are all walking distance.
The space
When I step into my space from the street it feels like I have just passed through a portal into some place unexpected. How did I fit all of the essential comforts of home into about 500 square feet without it feeling cramped or cluttered? I think my space is cozy, relatively quiet and very relaxing.
I really did try to think of every desirable convenience so please let me know what I'm missing in your home away from home.

Now outside, on a warm sunny day I think you would enjoy sitting outside behind the gate inconspicuously watching the neighborhood traffic pass by. People walking, jogging or bike riding to the nearby Park, Dry Cleaners, Laundromat, Whole Foods Market, Berkeley Bowl organic food store and a host of other quirky storefront places that are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Including the tailor shop and men's clothing store right next. door. Right on the corner there is a Subway Sandwich Shop, an awesome Gourmet Pizza / Bakery, a Corner Convenience Store too.
Guest access
Guest have access to everything behind the gate with the exception of one cabinet in the kitchen I use for storage.
Other things to note
The space is newly remodeled. Everything has been updated except for the cold tile floors. With that said you maybe the first to use something so your feed back sent directly to me would be helpful so I can make the necessary adjustments for the next guest.

Regarding the gate I am aware that coming in and out can be cumbersome especially with bags in hand. Open both wooden gates inward all the way to make it easier to get in and out of the security door. The security door must be shut to close the wooden gate doors. I extended the gate as far out onto the sidewalk as the property line would allow me to in in order to provide separation and security. I have really grown to love it.

Perfect place for our needs
Although we needed to leave early for an emergency at home, we throughly enjoyed our stay. Although it sits on a busy street, it was relatively quiet and private with the privacy gate. Everything needed was provided, down to the little details that were appreciated (q-tips, sound machine, and weighted blanket to name a few). It was very clean and well maintained. We hope to stay again next time we visit.
