The room has a bay window and sliding glass door into a beautiful garden. The main house kitchen, dining room and downstairs laundry are shared with the owner.

There is ample street parking. My home is located in a friendly neighborhood on a peaceful, tree-lined street one block from AC Transit for easy access to UC Berkeley, BART or San Francisco; two/ three blocks from a neighborhood grocery store/ cafe/ pub/ pizzeria/ cleaners /florist etc.; a half-mile from Solano Ave. shops; and about a mile (10-15 min. walk) to BART. There are beautiful stairway walks up through the hills nearby. I, the homewowner, am a 66 year-old woman, a psychologist and tai chi instructor. I love hiking, backpacking, gardening, and walking my very friendly labrador retriever. I respect privacy and enjoy friendly conversation, and hope you will too. If you are interested please email me a bit about yourself and what you are looking for, and I will get back to you.
