Kensington Garden Oasis - Studio Available for rent. Close to campus.

Kensington Garden Oasis is a 300-square-foot studio that looks out onto rose bushes and jasmine vines, ferns and lilies - inside-outside-living in a quiet and lush neighborhood. Listen to blue jays and hummingbirds as you sip your tea on the porch or... at the kitchen table near the window. Cook your meals inside or outside on the grill. Sleep in comfort in the queen sized bed with a view of the garden. Enter through your own private walkway. Enjoy the quiet at night and the starry sky. This studio is ideal for one person - a visiting academic or a commuter or just anyone who enjoys a contemplative indoor-outdoor experience.

The garden and hot tub and laundry facilities are shared with me, the owner - a writer who lives upstairs, teaches at a nearby university, and values a renter who is kind, considerate, quiet, and mindful of the shared spaces. There is ample street parking just outside the main entrance to the property.

The studio is in a neighborhood nestled between Tilden Park and downtown Berkeley and is a haven for bikers, hikers, artists, writers and nature lovers. Buses to downtown Berkeley and San Francisco are a block away. Downtown Berkeley and Solano Avenue are just a half hour walk away.

The studio is $2200/monthly which includes all utilities and wifi. There is a $2200 security deposit.
