My husband and I had a great weekend getaway at Terri's place. The apartment is a peaceful escape that doubles as a gallery for an artist in residency program, meaning you get to enjoy real artwork by local artists in your own private abode. The apartment is in walking distance of the Grand Lake area and Lake Merritt and short driving distance to other parts of Oakland. Terri is a wonderful host and was very willing to help when needed. Otherwise, she and her family give you space to enjoy the place on your own. I would highly recommend this spot!
