i generally enjoyed my stay at ericka's studio apt. on the positive side-the place was very well located, quiet ( and safe feeling), with comfortable beds( sleeps 2 quite nicely and could sleep 3) and a good shower. ericka was pleasant during communication prior to my arrival, but was out of town during my stay. her assistant/friend did her best to help get us settled. minor negatives were that there were no windows so the only way to get ventilation was to leave the sliding doors open. this was fine while we were there, but we spent most of the day out ( with the doors closed,as they were when we arrived ) and consequently the apt. was a little stuffy/stale. other than that my only other small dissapointment was that there was only a small fridge and electric pot to boil water. a small microwave would be a nice addition.also worth noting that the shower and toilet open right up into the living space with only thin glass doors between-so if you're traveling more than one, you'd want to be fairly comfortable with your travel partner.this was not a big deal for me and my 19yo son. on the whole, i'd give it a 4 out of 5 and will likely stay again next time i'm in oakland
