We felt very welcomed by Lucia and thoroughly enjoyed staying at her hideaway in Oakland. Just after we arrived she leaned over her entry stairs to say hello and to let us know she was available if we had any questions or needed help (which we wound up needing a little bit of and which she provided).

The studio was comfortable and simply and artfully arranged. It included everything we needed. We enjoyed the choice of colors and the touches of pottery and fabric which enriched the setting.

It is located in a nice neighborhood for walking. A small commercial area with lots of good eating places is an easy stroll.

We would recommend this place to others to stay.
