Michael's spot is a fantastic place to stay if you're looking for a private and quiet studio in the hills of Oakland. It feels like a treehouse! It's a quick drive to downtown Montclair, arguably one of the cutest spots in Oakland (book stores, boutique shops, delicious food). You're also able to step outside and walk along the path to see gorgeous views of the Bay.
Michael is very communicative, responsive, and transparent. He's also very friendly, while also allowing you to have your own space and privacy.
Can also be good for longer-term stays. Has a washer/dryer available.
Depending on what you're looking for, this is more tucked away and intentionally private than it is immediately walkable to stores, shops, or restaurants (but it is a quick drive or BART ride away!).
