--- MORE ESSENTIAL INFO ---
Through the gate you will be greeted by a beautiful garden. The studio is at the back of the garden.
As you can see in the photos, there are a few steps up to the studio that are a bit uneven -- "landscaped" style stairs. For our elderly guests, be advised that there is no railing. The pathway is lit at night.
The studio/office entrance is through the office door, on the right of the back building. Enter the studio from the office.
The lock box will provide you a key to the front door. Please remember to leave the key when you depart at the end of your stay.

Summary: I had a fantastic stay! The place was even better than described, and I already knew that I loved the area, having stayed in the same vicinity the week prior. But this place was so nice, so quiet. A wonderfully-landscaped property, privacy galore, and everything I could possibly want, in terms of accommodations. Everything from heated towels to a nice entertainment system for watching TV, incredibly comfortable bed and pillows, and even a stocked fridge with drinks and granola and so many other little details & things that were so thoughtfully provided. If you plan to take rideshares and not drive, it can be a little pricey, because you are up on a nice hill overlooking the bay, about a 15 minute drive to downtown oakland, and about a 45 minute drive into The City. I did a combination of driving myself during the day, and ride shares at night to go to concerts, which was the reason I was there, and it worked out great. I would highly recommend staying here again, and probably will try to stay here again myself.
