Berkeley is centrally located to almost anywhere in the Bay Area, as well as an easy flight from anywhere in California to Oakland San Francisco Bay (OAK) and San Francisco (SFO) airports. Getting here is easy, and savoring the seasons at "Beacon by the Bay" Berkeley is a moveable feast. It's cool but not too cold, romantically rainy here and there (but rarely torrential), and always friendly, fragrant, and inviting.
