My wife and I stayed here while visiting friends in Berkeley. We strayed in the fireplace room, which indeed has a working gas fireplace and even a piano in the room. The owner made us feel quite at home. The location is great, just a few blocks from a great neighborhood of restaurants and stores and it was within walking... More

This B & B's greatest asset is probably the amazing proprietor...warm, welcoming, attentive to every detail. Location, rooms, privacy and breakfast were all fabulous! The Brick Path was a major reason our first visit to Berkeley won't be our last! More

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The rooms exceeded my expectations with a very large bathroom equipped with both a jacuzzi bathtub and a separate enclosed shower, double sinks, plenty of towels, and terrycloth bathrobes. Also, the small kitchen area had a refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, electric teapot, and coffee maker--with both regular and decaf fresh ground coffee. Peaceful garden with areas... More

I have travelled to Berkeley frequently for years. I have stayed in all of the many possibilities for lodging in Berkeley. The Brick Path is light years beyond everything else in terms of the beauty, comfort and peacefulness of the surroundings, and the host, Wendy, who is extremely reliable and always gracious. The location is also great...everything you could need... More

Brick Path is a secret, tucked away spot in a 5* location. Park your car and walk the delightful Berkeley paths, walk to Solano Ave for a range of exotic restaurants & for a bookstore browse @ Pegasus. Shop for clothes or grab a great coffee drink @ Pete's. Andronico's market is 1/2 block away if you want to dine... More

Trust Wendy Sprague to take good care of you. The Fireplace Room, the most affordable, is spacious, beautifully maintained, and there's that fireplace to keep you warm and add that special ambiance. Room is super-clean, which is a must for me. Parking is easy breezy and just around the corner is a cool street with two cafes/bakeries for which Wendy... More

From the personal email responses from proprietor Wendy Sprague before the trip, to the effort to make everything as pleasant as possible once we were there -- the Brick Path Bed and Breakfast is perfect in every way. The location is fantastic for those wishing to be in a Berkeley residential neighborhood, and yet the proximity to Solano Avenue and... More

The Brick Path is such a calm oasis, located in a residential neighborhood but close to all amenities--it's only a block from a gourmet grocery store, the post office, the bus line, a used/new bookstore, a movie theater, varied and fantastic restaurants, clothing stores, and coffee shops. Wendy Sprague is the perfect hostess and provides everything you need, including hair... More

Wendy is the best hostess--she thinks of everything. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the rooms are immaculate and decorated with taste and creativity. The surrounding area is quiet and beautifully landscaped and lighted, and breakfast in the garden is a treat. Within a block or two: cinema, bookstore, fine ethnic dining, and coffee. The bus stop to the UC... More

I stayed at the Brick Path Bed and Breakfast this past week for 3 nights while visiting the Bay Area for a professional conference. My room was spacious, beautiful, clean and private, and even had a piano and music that I took advantage of. Wendy Sprague, the host, was very accommodating and kind, and the breakfast she brought each morning... More
