I stayed 4 wonderful, cozy, restful nights at George and Colleens place. I stayed at George and Colleen's during some extensive and quite stressful renovations that were taking place in my apartment in another part of Oakland.
George and Colleen made this stressful time much easier by being such kind, considerate and generous hosts. The space was exceptionally clean, peaceful and private and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Cozy bed and linens, hot shower with good water pressure, a beautiful view outside, lovely fireplace, cooking amenities etc. They were very attentive if I needed anything like extra heater or kitchen utensils but also gave me total privacy to come and go undesturbed. Communication was easy and check in very convenient. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends and may even stay again if I need a "staycation" in my own city in the future. What I loved even more than all of the above high quality treatment, was that both George and Colleen genuinely feel like trustworthy and kind hearted people who not only take pride in their air bnb and maintaining it beyond what most would expect, but they also care about the community as a whole both locally and as part of a broader air bnb community.
Great place for artists, families, small groups, couples etc.
Tho it's located a in the hills a bit, the extra drive to town is worth the beauty and peacefulness of the location.
Highly recommended.
