Backyard Cottage Apartments (Shared Housing)

I am renting my backyard cottage. It is small but very comfortable and can be furnished or unfurnished. It has a kitchenette for limited cooking (induction burner, microwave, countertop oven. instapot), sink, and half bath (toilet). It is the size... of a large bedroom but you will have your own quiet, separate space compared to renting a room in a house. You will needs to use the shared shower in the main house which is easily accessed through the spare back room of the house. The spare room is a shared space and can also be used by the renter - there is a storage closet for you in this room.

Quiet, pretty backyard. I have two small dogs and you will see them in the backyard but a fence divides the cottage patio/entry from the backyard. They are miniature schnauzers and are friendly. The backyard is shared with me (and the dogs). Your dog is welcome (small to medium size). Cats also welcome. My 23 year old son is home (for now) and we will all share the main shower.

All utilities included as well as high speed internet, tv/roku if wanted.

Quiet neighborhood, a 15 minute walk to El Cerrito del Norte bart station, 5 minute walk to AC transit bus (72). Two blocks from the Ohlone greenway and 5 miles to campus, so biking to campus is feasible if you are an active person. The commute on public transportation to campus is about 45 minutes (3 bart stops), including the walk to/from the bart stations. Currently, no laundry on site, but I am considering buying a washer. Laundromats are close. I use the laundromat for my own clothes as well. Read More
