Mark and Shara's beautiful backyard studio apartment was simply perfect for my husband's and my recent stay in Oakland! Their home/the studio is fabulously located, making for easy walking to the East Bay's Piedmont, Rockridge, and Temescal neighborhoods. The studio is exactly as it is described and pictured, perfectly equipped for two people. Mark and Shara made getting into and checking out of the studio incredibly easy based on our late arrival and early departure times, which only made our stay that much more comfortable and enjoyable. We feel so lucky to have stayed there!
