The Rockridge Studio was a great place to stay while visiting family in the Bay Area. It was a perfect location for me with walkable distances to both the Piedmont Ave and College Ave shopping districts. It is also a straight shot by car to the 880 Freeway and also a straight shot by car to the Lakeshore and Grand Avenue neighborhoods near Lake Merritt. I was alone on this trip, but the studio would be quite ample for 2. The studio is a basic clean and well run place to stay with written instructions on how to do everything from telephone and Internet to public transportation around the East Bay. Judy is very straightforward and easy to deal with, and I liked the nice touch of being welcomed with scones and fresh flowers on the kitchen table upon my arrival!
