This is a lovely private room with a separate entrance in the basement of the hosts home in a quiet neighborhood. The host was welcoming and very respectful of our privacy. The room had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of street parking and the location is close to great restaurants and shops with easy access to everything in the East Bay.
Our host was extremely welcoming. The accommodations were perfect for our purposes. The facility was well-equipped with amenities that made the stay even better than we anticipated. For example, there were more than enough outlets for all our electronics, and plush robes and slippers.
It was spacious, with many new amenities, and has a great location, only a block from Solano Street with stores (including a great bakery) and a coffee shop. Gracious hosts. Will definitely go back!
Laura’s “lovely studio” is just that. Great location for walking to Solano ave with coffee, bakeries, restaurants and shops. Clean. Comfortable, responsive host. Thoughtful touches like lights in both sides of bed, softrst terry robes ever! We are and hope to continue to be frequent guests!!

Lovely, very comfortable, great location!
We had a great stay, communication with our host was really easy, and the space was large and comfortable!
Laura and Mark are terrific hosts. The location is very close to great coffee, bakery and shops. Also close to beautiful places to walk. We highly recommend their space.
The Studio is a comfortable place and convenient to restaurants and interesting shops. It was super clean and the hosts were very helpful. We’d love to stay there again.
It had everything we needed for a short stay: a comfortable bed; a coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge; access to a washing machine and dryer; and convenient 24/7 street parking. Would happily stay here again. Thank you Laura!
My husband and I stayed for four nights while visiting our son's family. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay. The studio apartment is attractive and clean. The location is close to shopping and restaurants. The owners are pleasant and communicate well so all went smoothly.
This was a great place for me to stay four nights while visiting the Berkeley and Kensington areas. Solano Avenue is one block away and has just about any food you could ask for. You can even walk to downtown Berkeley since it is relatively flat area and less than 2 miles away. Laura was great and check in and check out was extremely simple. Parking on Marin was easy. Overall, I highly recommend.
