Just completed our stay at Janina’s cute studio.
Pros:
1. Janina: she was a great host. Immediate communication, easy accessibility and seems like such a warm inviting person.
2. Cleanliness: the studio was spotless, seemed newly updated and the kitchen and bathroom perfectly fit our needs. The bed was comfy and the bath water pressure and temp was great! 👍🏼
3. Free wifi and netflix!
4. Value: the nightly rate for this studio was great!

Cons:
1. Location: this backyard/back house studio is located in Oakland. And although it is easy access to the city, downtown Oakland and Berkeley…I was disappointed with the neighborhood. I wouldn’t call it a walkable neighborhood and there wasn’t any nearby markets, cafes, restaurants.
So the purpose of our weekend stay was to visit our daughter at Berkeley for parents weekend and homecoming. Many of our usual hotels and other Airbnb closer to campus were already occupied…so this neighborhood was farther and different than what I was expecting. But on the other hand…the value for this studio was extremely better than other places we have stayed in the past.
Overall…my husband and I were happy with our stay at janina’s cute studio.
