I was in Berkeley for a training course for 7 nights and stayed in the apt. of the main house. It was everything one could ask for. Microwave, coffee pot, filtered water, electric tea pot, and great goodies from Yuko made this a welcome retreat. Located in a very quiet neighborhood and only a few blocks in either direction from... More

I stayed at the cottage three nights and this was by far the greatest accommodation I had during my stay in the San Francisco area. The place is very peaceful, located in a residential area of Berkeley, while very practical since it is a few blocks from two bart stations. The cottage is great, located in the back of the... More

A simple and lovely garden cottage in a serene setting. I stayed here while visiting family who live a few blocks away. I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and beauty of the cottage and garden. Mort and Yuko were perfect hosts, helpful and friendly but never intrusive. I recommend it highly and look forward to my next visit.

Its ambiance is one of Japanese simplicity built from natural materials. It is a place of calm and serenity, a perfect counterpart to the stimulation and excitement of the Bay area. We... More

A delightful surprise to find oneself in a spacious, spotlessly clean and wonderfully comfortable second floor retreat centrally located in Berekely. The outside balcony is the perfect spot to read, relax and take in the incredible fragrances of the garden which is in bloom everywhere one looks. The owner is a sculptor and the result is a zen paradise to... More

Just a lovely few blocks' walk from Shattuck Street shops and restaurants, this is the perfect B&B for a work or vacation stay! Inside, Yuko's Indonesian and Japanese wall hangings soothe the soul, and, just outside the door, garden greens and flowers blend with Mort's organic sculptures and a coi pool to warm the heart. Step out the front gate... More

In town for a four day workshop, I was looking for something that would allow me to relax and clear my mind while getting work done. This was the perfect setting. The cottage is artistically decorated, and comfortable, and the hosts were accomodating. Plus, the walk into the yard each evening immediately clears the mind, with the sculpture gardens and... More

The cottage is private and quiet - I slept soundly and never heard any traffic or voices. Only two blocks from shops, farmer's market, and restaurants. The hosts provide every amenity imaginable - and the facility is spotless. Beautiful decor, surrounded by gardens and trees, and yet not far from the UC campus and city life. They provided home made... More
