What a wonderful place in the charming Montclair village area of Oakland. Totally quiet, clean and such a comfy bed. Never met the hosts but Ellen was responsive and access was easy. The garden patio invites hospitality. Our only challenge was the incomplete curtain coverage that allows more light in the studio than we are used to. We recommend this place and hope to return. Street parking on a fairly busy street but we had no problems. Great local places to eat. Don’t miss the Sunday farmers market.
