We loved this place. We went for two nights after our wedding to rest up before the honeymoon began. That was a great decision, and this room was perfect. We stayed in the fireplace room (yes, it has a fireplace, as well as a piano and the most comfortable bed ever). Breakfast was good (nothing hot, but we were fine with something simple) and served in the room. The lady that ran the place was very sweet. She just gave us our space. The place is very private. We never saw anyone else while there. We were able to walk downtown for other meals. Fridge and microwave in the room, to the best of my memory, which was convenient if you wanted to pack in fruit for snacks. No TV in the room, which was perfect for us. Wifi (a must) and a quiet atmosphere. Would definitely go again (and I don't repeat visits to B&Bs).

Yet another un-reviewed Bay Area B+B gem... looks like I'm about to be pigeon-holed. Anyway, this is another nice spot to lay down your weary bones during a short stint in the SF environs. Or, if you already live in the area, stash the folks/friends there. They'll be much happier here than at an overpriced hotel in Union Square or on your Ikea couch. Wendy is the hostess - she is super organized and knows the n'hood well. She's warm and friendly, but knows when to leave you alone in her little garden palace. There are a few spaces available at Brick Path, plus she owns another property nearby. We stayed in the Master Bedroom, which is attached to the main house, but has its own private entrance off the shared garden courtyard. This room is like a studio apt and includes a bedroom, a kitchenette and a gigantic bathroom w/ jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Free cable and wi-fi, of course. Other rentals are suites or entire cottages. Everything is immaculate and in good, simple taste. Breakfast is an extra $10/pp, but you could do better just walking a couple blocks up to Solano Avenue where there's a Peet's Coffee + a couple other cafes and bakeries. The North Berkeley n'hood is nice and calm, but not quite as quiet as o'er at Micasa (traffic is steady and a bit close). Good times though - mucho recommended!
