Carmen and Sam's space is a beautiful oasis in the busy bay area. The studio apartment has plenty of privacy for one person or a couple. The studio is completely surrounded by beautiful greenery, a pond with fish, and plenty of seating area on a deck. The owners live above the studio, however they perfectly balance guets peivacy, while also being incredibly, friendly and personable. Carmen and Sam are incredibly knowledgable about the Bay Area and greater California. They know the intricacies of the area, where to go, what to visit, and how to do it in a more affordable way. My husband and I had an absolutely lively time at Carmen's. If you want to visit San Fransisco/Bay Area stay here!
