Andy (dad) is a transportation planner, and Liz (mom) is a head of people at a tech startup in SF. We have two wonderful girls (Charlie is 3.5 and Frankie is 1). We love to spend time in the neighborhood on weekends, biking around, visiting nearby friends, and sometimes just cooking or hanging out in the garden.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Large 4-bedroom home (master queen suite, queen, twin, and children's room with toddler crib), with a spacious modern kitchen with double doors that opens up onto a sunlit deck with grill overlooking the yard. 2 bathrooms, and an idyllic, enclosed, courtyard-style front yard. The house sits on a very quiet dead-end street in the Westbrae neighborhood of Berkeley. The house sleeps up to seven adults (assuming two on the Memory Foam sleeper sofa in the lounge) + 1 toddler + 1 baby. House has driveway parking for one car but we do not have a car. We do, however, have an Urban Arrow electric cargo bike (great for errands and trips) and a regular adult bike, making family trips not only fun, but a breeze! Fiber internet. We have the best of both worlds; great urban amenities on a tranquil suburban street.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our house is 12 minute walk along a pedestrian/bicycle trail to North Berkeley subway station, then a 3 minute ride to Downtown Berkeley or a 30 minute subway ride right into Downtown San Francisco. The Westbrae neighborhood is mostly residential and very family-friendly, with great parks and playgrounds, and a broad selection of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The neighborhood was built in the 1920s and is highly walkable. A few houses down is the Ohlone Greenway, a bike/pedestrian path, which stretches for miles to the north and south, connecting to a variety of parks, stores, and other destinations. The neighborhood contains mainly family homes, with some apartment buildings too. Recently resurfaced tennis and pickleball courts are a 3 minute walk, and Cedar Rose park and playground is 5 minutes walk. Enjoy two relaxing community gardens on the block, which you will have access to.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Within walking distance (15 minutes) are exceptional places to eat and drink, including Acme Bread, Bartavelle cafe, Whole Foods groceries and Philz Coffee! Within a 5 minute walk of the house is a neighborhood shopping street with grocery store, family-friendly beer garden (perfect on the long California summer days), coffee shops, and a handful of restaurants. One of the U.S.'s finest restaurant districts, Berkeley's "Gourmet Ghetto", is a 25 minute walk away, and Solano Avenue restaurant and retail area is also a 25 minute stroll away.
Use our home as a perfectly-located base to explore everything the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer. Tilden Regional Park is a 15 minute drive away with redwood groves and exceptional hiking. Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda is a 15 minute drive - perfect for toddlers, kids, and all ages. Drive into the city of San Francisco within 20 minutes (or 30 minutes on the BART) and visit the Golden Gate Bridge and more. Napa wine country and Muir Woods can each be accessed in less than a 1 hr drive. Monterey and Santa Cruz are 2 hr drives. Yosemite and Lake Tahoe are 3 hr drives.
