Private Bay View Room 1 Block from Campus & Utilities Included

Charming bay view room with a bright window in an exceptionally quiet, vegetarian environment, perfect for graduate students, visiting scholars, and serious students.

Located a block away from UC Berkeley at the foothills of Highland and Hearst, we...
offer a quiet and reserved environment ideal for focused work, reflection, and introspection. Rooms offer beautiful views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge, or our peaceful meditation garden.

Established in 1972, the Nyingma Institute is a respected Tibetan Buddhist learning center which offers classes and retreats to the general public, in addition to housing staff and dedicated community members.
