Isabelle is the perfect hostess. I was made to feel welcome from our first e-mail correspondence.

The studio in Emeryville is the perfect size for an individual or a couple. It is also equipped with everything you need to feel at home, all you need to bring is your clothes! The entire complex is wonderful and couldn't be more strategically located. It is right next to every shop you could ever need, and much to my surprise some great restaurants!

It is only minutes from the West Oakland Bart, which provides for the easiest commute into the city as you can always take the first train coming or going as they all lead through West Oakland.

But the best part is once you are on Park Avenue it feels more like a quaint little neighborhood. This was my first time in Emeryville, but I have definitely fallen in love with it. Isabelle's place is the perfect spot to set up to explore the entire Bay Area. Can't recommend it enough.
