I think that the real testament to how much I enjoyed my stay with Trevor rests in the fact that I was initially only staying for one month but decided to stay for two! This is because everything about the studio is as it is portrayed in the description; it is quite, safe, comfortable and homely. Before I arrived I did have my reservations about how walking through someones house might work out but it was immediately obvious that, as the description says, you don't and won't disturb Trevor. The studio has everything you might need and the cosy kitchenette is fantastic, I've cooked up a storm on that twin hob. The bathroom is bigger than my entire apartment in NY with a lovely hot powerful shower AND a full tub. I must also mention the lovely plush bath linens which is a nice touch that adds to the home-from-home comfort of the stay.

The area is great - within just a few blocks I found BBQ hut (a must if you like some smoked meat), Nick's pizza (who knew Oakland had their own pizza style) and Uptown market (great little grocery, all the essentials, enormous selection of beer). I personally like to walk or cycle everywhere and so Trevor's place is perfectly positioned between Rockridge and Berkeley. Then there are two BART stations just a mile away to whizz into SF.

I cannot recommend Trevor and Chris as hosts enough and their quiet, sunny studio really is that. If you want a comfortable 'home' to return to after a sunny day exploring San Fransisco then this is certainly the place for you!

I have loved my stay here and thank Trevor and Chris for their hospitality and kindness.
