My stay at Claudia's lovely studio was perfect. It was much more spacious than I imagined, and as you'll see in the pictures, it's decorated beautifully! Claudia is a gracious host who checked in with me often to see if I needed anything. The area of Oakland that it's located in is great, too. I felt very safe, and Lakeshore Ave. is within walking distance. Since I had my car, it was also very easy to get to the Rockridge BART station (it's only about a ten minute drive, and there's parking available at the station). This space is perfect for more longterm arrangements. I won't hesitate to return if I'm ever back in the area. I highly recommend!
