My home is best suited for minimalist guests—those who appreciate a clean, calm environment to rest and recharge. While guests do walk through the kitchen and living room to reach the bathroom, those areas are not available for use beyond that. Just a 5-minute walk to BART, only 7 minutes from SF and easy access to Berkeley. The space The home is located close to the post office and the BART train station. If you’re particularly sensitive to city noises, please keep this in mind. Earplugs will be available if needed. Guest access This space is perfect for travelers, professionals, or adventurers looking for a comfortable place to rest after exploring all the Bay Area has to offer. Please note: No unregistered guests are allowed on the property at any time, even briefly, without prior permission. During your stay Note to Potential Guests: Thank you for considering my home! Since this is my personal residence and I live here, I prioritize hosting guests who have some history on Airbnb and have been recommended by other hosts. If you are new to Airbnb, I want to kindly let you know in advance that I won’t be able to accept your request, as I only feel comfortable hosting guests with established reviews and recommendations. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. As part of my spiritual practice, I do not speak during the morning hours, so if you have any questions or need anything, it’s best to reach me through the Airbnb app. I am an introvert and greatly appreciate guests who are comfortable with solitude and respect the need for a quiet atmosphere. Other things to note I take pride in creating a space that is both comfortable and calming. As someone who values quiet and simplicity, I enjoy hosting independent travelers who appreciate a peaceful environment. Please note: This is an older home without central heating or cooling. While it’s generally comfortable, temperatures can get a bit chilly during colder months or occasionally warm during peak summer days. I live here comfortably without central heating or cooling, and when it gets a little chilly, I simply put on an extra layer of clothing. I want to ensure that guests who stay here feel equally at ease, so please consider this before booking. The living area features dim, minimal lighting to create a soothing ambiance. I am highly sensitive to artificial lighting, so I do not use overhead lights in the shared spaces. Instead, there is a floor lamp and a small portable light by the kitchen for nighttime use. I am sensitive to strong smells, so I ask that you refrain from using fragrances indoors during your stay. I appreciate guests keeping the spaces tidy—wiping water from the old wood floors, cleaning up after themselves, and storing personal items in their room. Thank you for considering my home for your stay, and I look forward to hosting you!
