The location was a lot better than I expected. Super close to Piedmont Ave and Lakeshore Ave, grocery stores, and two bus routes. The apt is a bit hidden by trees but overlooks the Oakland/Piedmont hills which gives a nice view. Area is very safe if you enjoy evening walks. There are three flights of stairs so be careful when going down in the dark.
Sandra was amazing in accommodating to our needs and offered to adjust the space to our preferences. She even left us some chocolates for Christmas! The unit contained most of the elements of home which allowed for an easy transition. The walk-in closet is very large equipped with a washer and dryer. The studio itself is spacious, colorful, and comfortable. I definitely recommend her place not only for the location but for Sandra's care and hospitality.
