This was our second time staying at Patricia's wonderful studio. Our trip was hectic, and it was so nice to be able to go back at the end of a long day to this peaceful sanctuary. Nestled in the foothills of Oakland, it is cozy, clean and quiet, with a comfortable bed and easy access to Oakland and Berkeley. There is delicious and healthy breakfast food and coffee in the room. Patricia is the perfect host, warm and kind and easy to communicate with. She is available if you need something, but gives you privacy. This is our favorite place to stay when we are in the Bay Area!
