Description
Our lovely Berkeley home has two bedrooms, two home offices, and lots of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. We are within walking distance of shops -- including an independent bookstore and great public library -- as well as cafes and restaurants. A commuter bus line to San Francisco stops at the end of our block mornings and afternoon/evenings. BART is a half hour (1.3 mile) walk or 10 minute bus ride away. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed, the second a queen. The downstairs couch can be made up into a comfortable single bed. We're open to adding a convertable sleeper to the downstairs study if 3 bedrooms are needed. **Currently looking to do an exchange in Copenhagen in July 2026, starting in the 2nd or 3rd week.** Also interested in occasional New York swaps. Also interested in other European cities.

I am looking for help while I am away
I would like help with mail and deliveries
For shorter stays (one month or less), I'd likely hold the mail. Longer, I might ask you to keep an eye out for things we should be aware of.
