I stayed at Colette's cottage for 10 weeks this summer and would highly recommend it to anyone, no matter the length of stay. Colette's place was beautifully updated and decorated and was very cozy. The neighborhood was safe and friendly and located fairly close to downtown Oakland and BART stations and was not a far drive from San Francisco. Colette was very friendly and communicated well throughout my time there. She was also very knowledgable of the area and made some great recommendations, by far the best host I've ever had! I highly recommend her place to anyone looking to spend time in the Bay area!
