Very adorable bay view room with ample closet space and great lighting.
Charming rooms located in exceptionally quiet, vegetarian environment, perfect for graduate students, visiting scholars, and serious students.
Located a block away from UC Berkeley at the foothills of Highland and Hearst, we offer a quiet and reserved environment ideal for focused work, reflection, and introspection. Rooms offer beautiful views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge, or our peaceful meditation garden.
Furnished private rooms are available for individuals, with shared kitchen, bathrooms, and showers. Wifi and all utilities are included.
Established in 1972, the Nyingma Institute is a respected Tibetan Buddhist learning center which offers classes and retreats to the general public, in addition to housing staff and dedicated community members. You need not be Buddhist, but should be respectful of our spiritual focus and the quietude that is sought by our students.
Please note that we are a vegetarian, substance-free environment. We require that no meat or alcohol be consumed or stored here.
We are located 1 block away from the north side of campus. We do have a private parking lot, if you are interested in a spot one may be available for an additional $100/month.
