Sanctuary Hideaway
A beautiful property in a quiet lovely hillside neighborhood. We were surrounded by mature trees and vibrant spring blooms. The property was built in a very thoughtful and artful way that made the experience extra special. It truly was a little piece of heaven. We hope to come back someday.

Woodsy getaway near the city
We loved our stay at Ted's guest house! I traveled with my 79-yr-old mother and my small dog, and it was a bit snug for us but perfectly fine for 3 nights. The scenery and the casita itself are beautiful! Ted does a great job of communicating quickly, making himself available for any questions or needs, and making the home feel cozy and welcoming. The roads getting to the home were a bit tougher to navigate than expected, but we were able to park directly across from our gate. My mother has a tough time walking uneven surfaces, so the slant on the road and on the patio was a bit tricky for her, but parking close by made it easier. The entry and the entire home was very private, with a completely separate entrance at street level! The neighborhood is beautiful, and my dog loved walking there each morning. The home has all the comforts you could want, and we loved having the toaster, tea kettle, microwave, hot plate, and mini fridge so we could have our own food with us. I would absolutely recommend Ted's listing! It is a snug studio, so I wouldn't do a stay there with large dogs or more than 2 people. Also, know that the streets are narrow and a bit steep, and the entry and patio are pretty uneven (part of the beauty, but tough for those with mobility issues). Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and look forward to going back in the future!

Review Montclair Getaway.
A very nice relaxing location. Well maintained with a pleasant decor. I highly recommended it for those who need to get away from traffic and crowds and yet close enough to enjoy some great coffee and bakery in East Berkeley.

Renewed Body and Soul
Upon my arrival, my stay was peaceful and serene. I loved the fireplace. The shower and bathroom counter was perfect, filled with plenty of towels, and the cabinet was complete with extras you might need. I was able to complete my final essay and book a summer trip. I walked the neighborhood several times and drove twice to the grocery store. Thank you for the great coffee and for checking in with me once I arrived to ensure everything was okay. I played the CDs to put me to sleep as the fireplace was on; I also took naps during the day. I think everyone should enjoy a serene day to themselves and renew their energy; this is a great sanctuary to gain personal wisdom before marriage, time alone as a mother or dad, and time to grieve a loved one. I will return again because being alone gives me time to think, be creative, and ponder my thoughts. I have come up with some amazing ideas for my future. Thank you for creating this space.

Quiet and very comfortable. Loved the gas fireplace. Located one mile from restaurants, shopping and grocery store at Montclair Center. We stayed for a week and will be back whenever we visit the area. Highly recommend.
