Ann and Lalo are extremely gracious hosts. We were warmly welcomed, found fruit and a bottle of wine awaiting our arrival. An additional perk offered is a yoga class at Ann's Yoga Studio in Montclair. The apartment, up in the Oakland Hills, is nestled beautifully in the Oakland Hills, surrounded by trees. One enters the home down a long flight of steps. The queen sized bed is very comfortable with soft linens, the bathroom was well stocked with everything we needed. The living room area is comfortable, filled with eclectic art books, a guitar, and some charming furniture.
