Claudia and her friend (who was homesitting when we first arrived) were very nice and welcoming. Yummy treats were waiting for us and the studio was extra clean. Claudia lives in a very nice, safe and quiet neighbourhood. Nonetheless, it is only a few minutes (of walk) away from good restaurants and cafes, and from cool stores. There is a bus stop 2-3 minutes away from the studio which goes directly to the BART. We highly recommend this studio and Claudia!
