Delightful Detached Studio for a Solo Traveller

This detached backyard studio unit was perfect for my solo work trip to Berkeley. The space was cozy and clean and provided a wonderful home base while far from home.

Calm amidst the storm

Travelling during Christmas time is stressful always. With weather conditions flying is a chore. After 11 hours on a plane; it was wonderful to find a welcome refuge. Home. More precisely Robert's home but our sanctuary now. Exactly as advertised. We found our beds and settled in for a stress free week. Enjoyable. Our Host was always available for any query we had... We do this again, and again.
