Micasa Temporary Lodging

 

 

Micasa is a two-unit Craftsman style redwood bungalow, situated on a spacious corner lot, on a quiet residential street in North Berkeley. Built in 1905 the house sits above the street on its own hill, giving it both a sense of seclusion and a lovely view. It is located within five blocks of Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto, boutiques, bookstore and bus stops. At equally close range are a public swimming pool, track and library, and a farmer's market on Thursday afternoons. Also within walking distance are Cal Berkeley campus, the downtown theater district and BART trains.

Micasa speaks of quintessential Old Berkeley charm, and we have paid attention, with an eye towards comfort, to details such as excellent mattresses and linens. While the house is old, household appliances are not - including phone, cable, washer/dryer and WiFi (Wireless Internet).

The Living / Dining Room

The living/dining area is furnished with elegant antique furniture and several beautiful
and unique period light fixtures. The light, airy room is spacious enough to ensure comfort
when entertaining. An inviting window-seat corner is perfect for curling up with a book,
or enjoying the sunset, framed by west-facing windows.

The Kitchen

The full kitchen, while maintaining old fashion charm, offers complete
modern service and amenities such as full gas range and microwave.

Breakfast Nook and Deck

A private deck just outside the kitchen provides a sunny place
to relax from morning until mid-afternoon.

Sheltered by rolling hills and the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley is a vibrant and spirited city of surpassing richness. Within Berkeley's 18 square miles, a visitor can hear a symphony or a jazz quartet, stroll through a redwood forest or a rose garden, shop for Tibetan jewelry or sportswear from The Gap, play a round of golf, take a yoga class, catch a world-premiere play or first-run film, embark on a sport fishing excursion or enjoy an architectural walking tour.

Consummately Californian in its setting - but international in its cultural landscape - Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley, which lends an academic air to the entire city. With its wealth of culture and social diversity, dining and shopping opportunities and recreational pursuits, Berkeley is a compact city offering an exciting range of visitor options.
