Room Description
FURNISHED OR UNFURNISHED ROOM:
I have a very nice bedroom available, 150 sq ft, with fresh paint in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house that is 970 sq ft with a large yard. The house was just updated with a new kitchen and new bathroom, and has hardwood in the common spaces and bedrooms. The house is shared with one other person, including bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry and yard. The room comes either unfurnished or furnished depending on your needs. If you want or need the room furnished, we can talk about what you want to include.
The location (central Berkeley) is super convenient. It is near Bart, UC Berkeley, freeway access, lots of restaurants, grocery stores (West Berkeley Bowl, Monterey Market, and Mi Tierra), and more. Plus, it is a super friendly and safe neighborhood. Plenty of street parking.

- Term length: 6 months minimum, negotiable and/or renewable
- $1500 month plus half of utilities (PG&E, trash, water, and internet), and $60 for monthly house cleaner
- Security deposit: $1500
- The rest of the house will be furnished on July 11
- I have 3 cats that live with me in case you have allergies.
ABOUT YOUR ROOMATE:
I'm a female professional in my early 30's and like to take care of my house. I work from home most of the time. My husband is in Grad School in Sacramento and comes down to Berkeley most weekends. I am from Mexico, love to travel, experience different cultures, eat nice food, read and have lively discussions with my friends. This home is ideal for someone who wants a peaceful and homey environment. I will be furnishing the house when I move in on July 11.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Principal has been very receptive and always available to discuss our concerns. I visit the school at different times of the day throughout the year and I see his presence in the lunch room on the yard and in the school as a strong and positive influence on the school , it's students and the teaching staff. The PTA is involved and the school supports may different initiatives on behalf of BAM and the community.Parent Review7y ago - Berkeley High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school has great teachers and traditional education for the most part . My issue with the social aspect is that they don't have a dress code. I understand we are in Berkeley CA and there are nudists but that's different. They allow their girls to wear very tight daisy dukes that show not only the gluteos maximus but the genitals. This has been an ongoing going issue for almost ten years and I really don't understand why. I feel the students should be educated on why it's a bad idea. The students have off campus lunch and harass passer bys and spread what ever infections they have with those genitals shorts. Aside from this real big issue there are some ok teachers there that are trustworthyParent Review8mo ago - Martin Luther King Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKing had been great so far. My kid has been enjoying their time there. The teachers are so responsive and quick when you have a concern. We were concerned with some things with my child and we told one of their teachers about it. The teacher and other staff members were so helpful and so responsive to our kid’s needs that it help them gain so much confidence at school during the year. They made getting my child support so easy and not stressful at all. King is just a great school with amazing teachers.Parent Review11mo ago - Sylvia Mendez Elementary

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePhenomenal school is every way. Diverse and welcome in learning community with high quality teachers in TK and K. My student has thrived here and I can’t wait to see what next school year brings. The after school staff really connected with my student and principal Hunt is a very dedicated. Don’t skip the potluck and movie nights as well as other school functions like back to school etc. they are so so worth it. Forgot to mention one of the best aspects, the specialists! My student has dance, garden, nutrition/ wellness, and art!Parent Review3y ago - Oxford Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had two kids in this school. One of them was severely traumatized, the other one fared better but was also not really happy. They have ZERO help for kids during recess. When there is a fight kids are told off, when there is bullying they rather victim blame than helping the child. The principal is old fashioned and loves teachers that yell at and punish kids. Group punishments? Great! Shaming a kid as punishment? Yes!The school has a few fantastic teachers but it doesn't make up for the rest.Parent Review4y ago - Washington Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe joined Washington just before COVID and the school went fully remote (as required). It was a difficult way to start, and everyone was doing the best they could to adapt. As students returned to campus, the faculty thoughtfully navigated the complexity of reintegrating. Overall, I was impressed. My daughter recently exited 5th grade as a very well-adjusted individual who was performing well in the classroom. We love you Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Baile, and Mrs. Jokela!Parent Review2y ago - Cragmont Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNine out of ten. The school was built In 1999 with seismic Proofing also Ng with great surveillance cameras and security. The PTA is absolutely wonderful and we as parents have been participating and engaged. Parents are educated and great to hang out with. The teaching skills are very acceptable. I really like the melting pot of the students along with the teachers.Parent Review6y ago
