I used to live in the Bay Area, and staying in Claudia's beautiful home for a few days made me feel like I was living there again, not simply visiting. The studio (very large, so I'm not sure if this is exactly the right term...) was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The bed was particularly comfortable, so much so that I've asked Claudia to let me know where she bought the down comforter so I can get myself one. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, and on several days I walked down to the shops on Lakeshore and from there, around beautiful Lake Merritt. It was a wonderful stay, and I hope to stay there again on future trips. :)
