Manny and Pronita as hosts get 5 stars! They were very responsive and communicated promptly and with kindness the entire time!
The only downside to the stay was that the house was in full renovation mode with painting the exterior, demoing and redoing the upstairs and back, etc. This made it hard with plastic wrapped windows in the hot Oakland days and we melted a little without airflow. They did make a little hole for us to get in and out of the door which was nice but I felt so bad constantly bothering the construction crew to move stuff so I could get in and out with my pup and my car.
There is plenty of street parking nearby that is more convenient and easier to get in and out of them the paid option, and the spot right in front in almost always available but the street around the block also has lots of spots
We would have just loved a heads up about the construction in order to maybe change our minds for an already expensive stay to a quieter location if we knew about the renovations. Without the construction it would have been a wonderful stay and the place looks so nice now it was worth it for the place for sure!! Just put a damper on our stay unfortunately.
The studio is great for short term one or two person stays, no children for sure, but a great launching pad while waiting for your next place and Manny and Pronita are great hosts!
