This studio was a great find. I work remotely from home but sometimes need to be on-site at my company's downtown Oakland headquarters. This studio is well appointed, cozy, very quiet, and very convenient to the free Broadway shuttle and BART station. Leah was a great host and picked me up from the 19th St. train station when I arrived, and I very much enjoyed our conversation when I arrived. I slept very well on the bed - great pillows and blankets and I liked that I could make the studio as bright or dark with the lighting as I wanted. I didn't hear much upstairs traffic, which was great for a condo, and it was pretty quiet outside for a corner intersection. I really liked the music theme and antiques in this studio, and the layout was a great use of space. The studio had everything I needed, including power outlets, shampoo/conditioner, bottle opener, etc., and even an umbrella for the rainy days we had this week. The space heater worked well at night. Having Whole Foods a block away is outstanding, and I was also able to walk to several good restaurants, including Arizmendi Co-op (pizza/bakery) and True Burger. Lake Merritt is also nearby and a great place to run. Given this studio's location, price, amenities, and hosts, this is a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel. Would definitely stay here again!
