Bernard's studio is a magical mountaintop getaway. Secluded and picturesque, yet close to the highway for road trips out of the city. It's hard to capture in photos what an amazing view the studio has. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the porch each night and soaked in the beauty and the cool bay breeze. Bernard was a lovely, friendly, helpful host. He made us feel entirely at home during our stay. This will be our go to Oakland retreat if he'll have us again!
