Your own free-standing little house in the heart of North Berkeley, nestled in a gorgeous garden.
Separate entrance, behind a locked gate. Separate patio for the tenant.
Wood floors, very clean, and well maintained.
Exposed brick, skylights, recessed LED lighting, and updated furnishings give the
cottage a high-tech feel, which is complemented by the garden setting.
Full kitchen with 5-burner gas stove, new fridge.
Recessed from busy MLK; quiet and cool inside.
Great for busy professionals, postdocs, and visiting scholars. Best for one person, but couples OK under certain circumstances.
I had a fantastic time in the cottage! It's a tranquil and cosy place, perfect for working and for relaxing, with a beautiful garden. It's also well-equipped with everything you need and in a great location: peaceful area, a pleasant walk to the campus, convenient for groceries. Highly recommended!--- Ezra R, incoming faculty in the Philosophy Dept, April, 28, 2023.
The cottage at 1738 MLK Jr Way is a delight to live in. Surrounded by a lovely and peaceful garden, the cottage is brightly lit from skylights and large windows. It is in very good condition, well arranged, and has sufficient storage for even large suitcases. The appliances, especially the gas stove, are a pleasure to use. The brick walls keep it feeling cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. Highly recommend this place!--- Ben C, August 2020 through July 2021.
Geta's cottage is a wonderful place to stay. It is conveniently located, close to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and several parks. Tucked away from the street in a lovely and well-tended garden, it is quiet and peaceful — a little sanctuary perfect for working or reading. Geta herself is a warm and responsive host. I would recommend the cottage to anyone (without kids) on a sabbatical. I would happily spend another sabbatical here.--- John F, Cottage Tenant January to June, 2020.
