Melissa’s apartment felt like real a retreat space. From the comfy bed with soft sheets that we fell into exhausted after a full day of travel and rehearsals to the deep soaking vintage claw foot tub that I didn’t want to leave to the well appointed tiny kitchen with my favorite Nespresso coffee machine - stocked with mini 1/2 & 1/2 cups and sugar/honey - so I didn’t have to make a coffee run in the morning!
When I next visit Oakland, I’m staying here since there aren’t many luxury hotels on the East side of the Bay that are this perfectly situated to walking places - shopping, Lake Merritt, the Oakland Museum, Fox Theater, dinning, manicure/pedicures, movies, and more are all within a half mile walk or 5 minute drive.
Thanks Melissa!
