I had different teachers coming from around the world to teach. Everyone loved the house. The home was comfortable and convenient. The host was so helpful and stayed in touch to help in anyway we needed her.
A delightful experience in a charming home that is accessible to all of Berkeleyâs attractions. The owner has provided her guests with every convenience. I highly recommend this lovely residence.
Loved Cathy's place, so full of light and charm. Amazing backyard, beautiful wood accents throughout the home, and my favorite, a claw-foot tub where I spent many hours just soaking in the peace and tranquility of this sweet home. Neighborhood is funky Berkeley, with great neighbors and cafes nearby (try Cafe Trieste one San Pablo) a Berkeley institution. Oh, and did I mention the well-equipped kitchen and two giant redwoods next door? Also a working fireplace which I had hoped to use, but we experienced a heat wave in October, so not necessary! I highly recommend Cathy's place!
Hi, I am a retired librarian who enjoys travel, mainly to Italy where my sister lives in Florence. In addition to Tuscany, I am particularly in love with the island of Sardinia. I also like to work with my hands and make art quilts, love to bake and cook meals for friends, go wine tasting, swim, read and see films. This past couple of year I have learned how to brew my own beer. I have stayed in some wonderful homes in my travels so try to replicate these positive experiences as a host.
