I stayed in Marks studio for 3 months while I was working in Oakland. The home is very private and secure with great outdoor space for my dog to hang out in. Montclair village is really cute. The home is very close to BART and a great central location for my job. Mark was very easy to communicate with and even came by and cleaned leaves off my patio frequently. The home is small but very comfortable, private and safe. I would highly recommend it and will stay there again if I am in the area.
