I had a great stay at Karen's place in the Oakland Hills. The room is just as described; quiet with a comfortable bed, and in a beautiful neighborhood. Karen and her husband Paul went above and beyond as hosts. When I first arrived, I was not feeling well, and Karen fed me tea and oranges. She also changed out the blankets when I told her I am allergic to down. Anytime I needed anything, Karen was there to help me. At the same time, I appreciated the privacy of the studio room. On my last day, I needed a ride to BART to get to SFO, and Paul drove me. I would definitely recommended Karen's place and stay there again.
