Mark and Shara's back yard studio was a well designed, modern, private, (super) clean/tidy and comfortable haven on my quick trip to the Oakland/Berkeley area. The Rockridge Bart is within walking distance and the studio is only a few blocks from the the hip little Temescal Alley with its shops and coffee. To top it off, the check in/out communications were easy and friendly. If you're in this neighborhood ... this is a great spot!
