We've just returned home after a short stay in Oakland to visit a new grandchild. Claudia's apt. was the perfect place for us to stay. The neighborhood was great and just a short walk from my children's apt. with easy access to shopping and the lake. Spacious and well laid out, it was very comfortable for us. Although Claudia was out of town during the time we were there, she was in regular email contact, and answered any questions promptly. The kitchen was well stocked for food preparation, and also with many welcoming surprises, including wine, fruit, coffee cream, and delicious fresh cinnamon bread! I only hope that when we return this adorable apartment is available. We look forward to staying there again.
