This is my second stay in the Mod Studio, and it was just as excellent and satisfying as the first. The hosts are just marvelous: always helpful, completely accommodating. They have put TLC into decorating the Studio and ensuring that it provides everything one needs. The amenities are plentiful and arranged compactly, so this place is as convenient as it is lovely. And the location could not be better: a block from Whole Foods and three blocks from Lake Merritt. I would score the Mod Studio and the hosts as A++.
