We stayed at Grace and Lucia's lovely Oakland studio apartment for two nights over New Year's and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is a cozy, comfortable space perfect for two or three, nicely decorated, and with everything you need for a getaway. Their home is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and the studio truly felt "like home." The layout is very functional, the bed and couch were very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, the little electric fireplace added warmth and charm, and there were many little extra touches that were appreciated (coffee and teas, some snacks, a choice of bed pillow firmness, extra blankets). Communication was prompt and thorough, check-in was easy, instructions were provided for various items in the apartment, and it was clear that Grace or Lucia would have been available and happy to answer any questions. We were particularly impressed and pleased that they didn't charge a cleaning fee (we've seen some pretty exorbitant cleaning fees on AirBnB listings), especially since we always try to leave a rental sparkling clean. (We were also happy to meet both Lucia and Grace in person--it's always great to put faces to the places we stay through AirBnB!) Oh--and a bonus was being able to see the New Year's Eve fireworks in San Francisco from a deck in front of the apartment. Yes, they were pretty far away, but with the skies being clear, they were bright and festive, and it added to our fun!
