Karen & her husband’s studio was just what I needed for my quick weekend trip to Oakland. Since it was just me, I didn’t need much, just a bed, tv, and a shower, which is what their place provided. I used to live in Oakland so I was familiar with the area, but for those that aren’t, it’s located in the hills but it’s only a 10-15 min drive to downtown Oakland by car.
The only thing was that the wifi & cell service were a bit spotty, so I wouldn’t suggest the place for anyone who absolutely needs reliable wifi. Oh, and there’s no fridge (but that wasn’t an issue for me).
It was quiet and peaceful and the view of the city when you drive from the hill was gorgeous. A perfect place for 1 person who just needs the basics for a quick trip.
