The studio was the perfect place to stay for a couple days. The Lake Merritt area is awesome, blending the quiet nature of a neighborhood with a vibrant surrounding area. I was commuting to downtown Oakland by car each day during my stay and the commute was an easy trip down Lakeshore Drive (about a 10-15 min drive each way).
The studio is wonderfully decorated and has a cozy feel to it. It was very clean and well-maintained. All the amenities you may need are there, including dishes, refrigerator, microwave, soap and shampoo, towels, etc. Street parking is fairly easy to find close by. There are an abundance of different restaurants within a 5-10 minute Uber ride.
Alisa was a great host. She responded quickly and took the time to make sure everything was going well. Check-in and check-out was easy.
I would definitely stay here again!
