I think it's very fortunate to meet people who are kind during your travel. Vicki is definitely one of them, she's such a generous soul. Despite of her busy schedule and the fact that she wasn't feeling well when I arrived, she still made the effort to pick me up from the train station. After a 17+ hours train ride from Portland with barely any sleep, I really appreciated that. And she even allowed me a late check out as I had a late night flight.
Communication with Vicki was excellent too. It's so interesting to hear her views about certain stuff, and some of her stories. I had fun sharing mine with her as well. I think it's just so rare for me to find someone whom I can connect effortlessly to during a trip, cos time is always so limited to get to know a person beneath the surface. But I think we are doing ok here, at least that was how I felt haha.
The studio is as cozy as the pictures are. The bed is very comfortable, and there's duvet to keep you warm in the night. There's a functional and practical kitchen that I always used to prepare my breakfast.
There are 2 bus stops that are within 3 mins walk that have buses that will take you to several Bart stations. A tip for people who wanna take the buses - use nextbus_dot_com. It's very accurate, you will know exactly when the buses are arriving. And to navigate around the city, please use google maps! It's my savior during my entire trip, I don't know how I can live without it now haha.
There are also a lot of cute shops, restaurants and cafes that's down telegraph ave, which is very near the studio.
So please everyone, just come and book Vicki's studio when you are in the area, you will never regret it :)
