Lovely 1 bedroom apartment for rent in the Elmwood/Claremont district of Berkeley. Walking distance to UC Berkeley, it's an ideal apartment for a visiting faculty or postdoc. <br /><br />Location: 1.5 miles from UC Berkeley, 1 mile from Rockridge BART, and 2 blocks from the express bus to San Francisco. This is in one of Berkeley’s nicest neighborhoods, just a block from the Claremont Hotel, restaurants, boutiques, La Farine bakery, and Peet’s coffee house.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The apartment is on the first floor of a 3-story standalone house. We, the owners, live in the house above the apartment. However, the apartment has a separate entrance and is not connected to the upper house. <br /><br />The apartment is approximately 625 sq feet in size. It features:<br />- Beautiful bay views from the living room and bedroom <br />- A spacious open floor plan that connects the living/dining areas to the kitchen<br />- A bedroom with a queen bed<br />- A large, shared deck off the apartment<br />- Washer and dryer in unit<br />- Large flatscreen TV<br />- High-speed (fiber) wireless internet<br />- Kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, gas stove, and cooking equipment <br />- Ample unrestricted street parking<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Please note that there are two school-age kids living in the upstairs apartment. You can hear them from the apartment in the mornings (starting around 730am) and evenings (until around 8pm). <br /><br />Also note that there are 36 stairs to the front door, so the apartment is not ideal for those with reduced mobility.
