Cas Daluz exceeded my expectations and the value can not be beat! Steve is a strong communicator and was super helpful with offering me info about the neighborhood. The neighborhood is just blocks from the lake and downtown. The studio is bright and the energy cannot be beat. The neighborhood was suuuuuuuper quiet at night, which lended itself to me getting a great night's rest. Steve added personal touches like coffee and bottled water, which was super thoughtful. The patio garden is truly stunning and if I could, I would choose to stay at Casa Daluz every trip to Oakland. Truly a gem of a space!
