this studio is sandwiched between oakland and emeryville. it’s convenient to the city and east bay. Sisley and company were very responsive and welcoming. the studio is in the back of a home accessed by a fence with a lever pull (wish there was more security with the fence) and then a sliding glass door. we were in town for a wedding and came in quite late a few nights, outside of the spot light by the fence there were few lights. the studio was charming and newly renovated. we found the place to be clean, outside of a few spiders and towels with stains on them! also we would have appreciated white sheets and towels to assess for cleanliness, as well! studio overall was comfy and I would definitely recommend to friends and family, if a few tweaks are made to the accommodations!
