About us:
Couple in our thirties who work between home and Berkeley. Were passionate about our garden, our dogs, and curating a peaceful and relaxing space. Weve lived in the area for three years and are happy to make recommendations for our favorite, hikes/walks, and attractions.

What were looking for:
-Respectful, clean, paying rent on time- the usual.
-Must be comfortable in shared outdoor spaces- we access our shed near the apartment entrance, enjoy the patio, and garden frequently.
-Must be comfortable with dogs- they are big guard dogs so they will bark at you at first (though they will not use the part of the yard your entrance is in)
-The apartment has housed both cats and dogs, FYI for folks with severe allergies.
-Due to the proximity and shared outdoor spaces, we cannot allow smoking.
-Indoor cats and other indoor pets are welcome with an additional deposit. Dogs are welcome if they get along with our pups (who are dog-selective and can clash with large dogs or more alpha-personality pups). Emotional support animals are respected and not pets for the purposes of deposits.
-To rent, well ask for a reference from your landlord, a signed short-term lease, and a credit check as a last step before move-in ($35.)

Please email with any questions and a few times youre available for a viewing if interested. We look forward to hearing from you!
