This was our first time using AirBnb and we were very pleased. The studio was beautiful, quiet, and a great oasis from which we ventured out to explore Oakland, Berkeley, and beyond. The studio was spotless and well furnished. The outdoor patio was gorgeous, and the drive up the hill to Karen/Paul's home was breathtaking.

We did not see Karen or Paul very much during our two day stay, but Karen answered our pre-arrival questions very promptly and thoroughly. We appreciated the privacy and it really made us feel like we were in our own home as opposed to staying at someone else's house.

The only complaint that we had was that the window shades are not super great at blocking out light. We found ourselves waking up pretty much at first light each day. This being said, the shades filtered sunlight beautifully and really completed the look/feel of the room - so we could see how this is a tough problem to solve!
