When I walked into Mally's place I was like "wow!!" Honestly, the pictures posted on airbnb don't do her place justice! Mally's place is truly beautiful. The suite has two skylights that allow in light from above. This makes the suite very bright and beautiful. Both the bedroom and the bathroom are very nicely and tastefully decorated, with a lot of books and pictures. The most beautiful part, however, is definitely the garden. I truly enjoyed sitting under Mally's tree in her garden, working. It is really a lovely and quiet place. Lastly, the location is very interesting as well. Mally's studio is located on the hills above Oakland, Ca. very close to Montclair village. Nearby there is a forest and some trails and it totally doesn't feel like being in Oakland. The Montclair village nearby is also cute and I enjoyed going for coffee there in the morning. All things considered, I was very happy with my choice, not only to the point that I would recommend it to others, but to the point that I have already booked my next stay.
