The studio is confortable, clean and really nicely decorated, very peaceful environment to spend a week. Not far from the central Lake Merritt area, easy walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and the lake. Easy access to freeway and bridge to go to San Francisco. The studio is in a quite neighborhood, easy off street parking. Terri is a wonderful host, easy check-in and check-out, great communication - gave us some great tips - but gives guests a lot of space. The wi-fi is slow and cuts out however and noise carries a lot from the house above, especially in the mornings. Also if you leave the door open the cats will wonder in, which was fine by me cause I love cats, but may be something to consider if you are allergic. Would love to stay there again. Great price for value in the area, central location and supports an artist collective.
