This studio is a truly blissful find! Even better than the photographs and with large windows onto a captivating view of the whole Bay, with beautiful sunsets in the evening. The feel of the place is expansive and uplifting, with all the conveniences you need in a home-away-from-home (+ excellent stall shower). Melissa's eye for design and color make this studio a stylish, fresh and highly functioning haven; I heard owls hoot gently at night and every morning you wake to green treetops and clean air. There is a good network of highways close, so you can reach San Francisco, Berkeley or Oakland with ease. As a host Melissa was outstanding, quick to respond, accommodating, thoughtful and efficient. I stayed for almost 2 weeks while waiting for my own local house-move, and her studio offered me a peaceful refuge. If the occasion arises this will be my go-to place in the area. As other reviewers have mentioned, the windy roads in the last segment of getting to the studio require alert driving.
