Amazing experience! The studio was just as described, if not better! The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, offering a piece of mind and beautiful views. The separate condo nestled next to the garden was picturesque and breathtaking. For those looking to experience the raw nature that Oakland has to offer, but still want to be close enough to the city, the rest of the East Bay and San Francisco, I couldn't recommend a better location! Karen was an excellent host and very warm to us during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again in the future!!! Thank you, Karen!!!
