We had a wonderful time staying in Mark and Shara's studio. It is a lovely space in a great backyard that is close walking distance to Temescal and many other great walkable areas of Oakland. There were many nice touches all over the space, for example, a computer for guests' use and handmade soap. Unfortunately Mark and Shara were out of town when we were there, but they were very easy to communicate with over text and checked in multiple times to make sure everything way going well.
