We had the most wonderful time at Colette's place. The cottage was really nice, a lot of space and privacy, plus very clean. We also had access to the garden, which we really enjoyed. The neighbourhood felt very safe, and had easily access to public transport. We didn't know beforehand that Oakland had that much to offer, so it was great to explore more areas than just downtown San Francisco. Not to mention Colette, who was the best host we could have ever asked for! She really made us feel like home, showed us a lot of cool music, invited us to open mics and treated us like friends. No complaints at all! Thank you for everything Colette, hopefully we'll see you again soon.
