It was a perfect location for us, just a couple of blocks from my son's apartment. It is a five-minute walk to numerous restaurants, cafes, shops and the like. About a 10-minute walk to Lake Merritt. We arrived late, and had a convenient key pick up from a lock box to gain entry to the studio. We had off-street parking, but there was plenty of on-street parking as well. Completely satisfied with the entire experience, and would definitely stay there again.
