Guest house in Berkeley

Sunny Scandi Vibes at Mimi's Claremont-Elmwood Guesthouse.

Chill on the cozy corner sofa while admiring the towering trees in this bright, inspiring hideaway. Spin a record, snuggle up for a movie night, or enjoy the cozy queen-bed nook with a favorite novel. Follow your culinary inspirations and cook a delicious meal with fireside dessert, or venture out for a neighborhood walk to nearby College Avenue for shopping, restaurants, and fun. Be it relaxing or entertaining, Mimi's Place offers you the best of both worlds...a peaceful getaway in one of the East Bay's favorite neighborhoods within walking distance to urban conveniences. Please note: the unit is a private guesthouse accessed up one flight of stairs. A mobile laundry service is available, but the unit does not have a washer/dryer. The space is open yet cosy and the windows look out to trees and hills in the neighborhood. It feels far removed from the city yet you are walking distance from the adorable Elmwood neighborhood of Berkeley. We have a full kitchen with new appliances, wi-fi, a smart TV, and plenty of built-in storage for your belongings if you are staying for a longer visit. You have access to the entire unit as it is separate from our house and located in the front of the property. I love to meet our guests, but generally we are running different directions so only see each other upon arrival and in passing. I am always available by phone though! This one of the oldest neighborhoods in Berkeley, with established trees and gorgeous walks in the nearby hills and easy access to nearby Elmwood stores. It feels far removed from city life, but Berkeley and Oakland are still within easy reach. You probably want a car (parking is very easy in our neighborhood which is not the norm in Berkeley) or plan to take Lyft. Bart is a 15 minute walk from our house, and there is a bus route that picks up at the bottom of our street. If you are visiting Cal, the bus takes you there easily.

Large secluded guest suite with patio and garden

TeresaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Fouad was a wonderful host. He met me at check in, gave me a lovely tour of the unit, amenities, and his garden. The apartment was extra clean, warm, and welcoming. I loved walking around the nearby lake in the afternoon! I’d recommend Fouad as a host to anyone staying in the Berkeley/Oakland area.

Peaceful studio w/ beautiful garden view

JeffRating, 5 stars12 months ago

Really enjoyed staying at Mally's place! The location was ideal for exploring the nearby sights like the great local cafes. At the same time, it was private enough where you could recharge peacefully. The space was clean and I found the working table super useful for my planning sessions during my stay. The garden gave a calm, peaceful vibe and I loved how the windows opened right outward to them and let in all that fresh air. I'd recommend this as a home base if you're planning to be in the East Bay!

Art Filled Oakland Hills Beauty

NadimRating, 5 stars10 months ago

A lovely place in a great location for us. Very clean and with a great view. Being downstairs, yes, you do hear activity on the upper floors, such as walking, moving things, and vacuuming. For us, this place is perfect and we will schedule again on future trips to visit family in Oakland.
