Great location, wonderful space

This is a small cottage behind the main house in my favorite Berkeley neighborhood (walk to the movie theater, bakeries, coffee shops, grocery store). I liked the radiant heating and warm floor in the winter, comfortable bed with great linens, and lots of light yet private. It's no longer new, and some of the furnishing is showing its age, but I found the place very comfortable. Parking in the driveway was great, as parking can be tight in this area. Patty was an excellent host.

Excellent Cottage and Host

The cottage is very nice and cozy. The host is very sweet and accommodating. We could easily walk to UC Berkeley, many restaurants around and shops - we didn't need a car until we went into SF. I hope to stay again.

Family get together

Our family came to Berkeley to visit our sister and her family. The location and accommodations were perfect. Patty is an amazing host. Greeted us on our arrival and instructions were easy to understand. My dad has mobility issues so we loved the easy access as well as excellent security. Thank you, Patty, for a lovely visit!

Perfect Berkeley cottage

This is a wonderful cottage in an ideal location. The cottage is located behind Patty's house on a quiet street that's three blocks from the inviting College Avenue array of varied restaurants (Italian, American, Mediterranean, ice cream, Peet's). A 20-minute walk to the UC campus. The cottage itself has a large, comfortable bed in main bedroom. a second bedroom with a pull-out couch that we used as an office during a six-day stay, an up-to-date and well-equipped kitchen and bathroom, spacious living/family space with big-screen, Hulu-endowed TV. and a small, partially shaded outdoor patio that became one of my favorite go-to parts of the entire stay. Patty is a great host. We look forward to a return visit.

Great stay in Patty's blue cottage

My sister and I loved our stay in Patty's blue cosy cottage. Lovely place with all amenities. Lovely little kitchen where we cooked several times, and a nice spot in the garden to enjoy our food. We loved walking up and down College Av. - lots of small local shops and great places to enjoy a bite. Definitely coming back! Camilla from Denmark.

Cottage location is serene and contains every convenience. The host is gracious and responsive, for example when there was an area outage of the internet, she sent us a text right away. In addition, the local restaurants are nearby and delish! (Especially Summer Kitchen on Collage!)

Cosy cottage

After seven years, we returned to Ms. Patty's cottage to accompany our youngest son to UC Berkeley. The place is really delightful and close to all College Avenue services and amenities. Although we no longer have "college-age children", we hope to have the opportunity to be her guests again. Thank you very much Patty.

We have stayed with "Miss Patty" a number of times over a number of years. We have all that we need, especially her garden at the front door of the cottage with shady places to read and a patio table on which to play cards with our grandchildren. Easy walk to College Ave. Always a winner.

The perfect family cottage for visitors!

We have family coming to visit from the east coast at least twice a year and this has been the perfect place for them when they are in town. Patty is a fantastic host and the cottage is always well kept. It’s a plus to be walking distance to our house and so many things on College Ave.
