--- INTERACTION WITH GUESTS ---
We live on the property. Access to the studio/office is via a separate entrance so you have complete privacy.
We are a busy working couple. We will try to greet you if we can but we never disturb you once you are inside, and never enter the studio while you are here (unless requested). Feel free to knock on our back (kitchen) door if you need anything, or hear us and would like to say hello!
--- 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: We have stayed here several times, and it never disappoints. It is impeccably clean, thoughtfully stocked, and very quiet and private. We have not met the owner, but we sure do feel grateful for such a great place to stay when we visit family in Oakland. Access is slightly tricky on a natural stone path; you have to be able to carry your bags. Well worth it. The garden is lovely; access to the parks and trails in the hills is a plus; there is no kitchen, but it’s easy to bring in take-out or make a simple breakfast there. A gem.
