This place is really the hidden gem of Oakland. The studio is very clean, well furnished, and incredibly homey. Eric has done a lot of improvements to the place including the bathroom and kitchen; and it really shows. There are so many things within short walking distance. Gyms, restaurants, the lake, shopping, and so much more. On top of the room being amazing, Eric is the greatest host. He was always around when I had any questions or needed help. He also was happy to give me area recommendations and often checked in with me to make sure everything was meeting my expectations. 10/10 would recommend this place and host!
