I stayed for six days at Eric's studio while visiting the bay area and my son in Oakland. The Montclair hills are beautiful and the Montclair Village is nearby (but not walkable) Access to a car is necessary or I did use Lyft and then the BART a couple times. The kitchenette was well-equipped, and the bed extremely comfortable. I am fussy about cleanliness, and this place more than met my expectations in that regard. Eric was very thorough in explaining what I needed to know, and I was happy to have found his place to make my base while in the area.
