Colette's Cozy Cottage was a dream come true! My friend and I had tickets to a concert at Oracle Arena and we needed a last-minute place to stay for the night. Colette responded right away and her room was luckily available. The cottage was exactly what we needed - it was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. Colette is an absolute rockstar! She was beyond friendly, totally welcoming and an absolute riot! She was super helpful with directions to and from the arena, she helped us find food in the neighborhood, and she provided plenty of laughs. We really connected with her, and thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent hanging with her, but she was also very respectful of our privacy and that made us feel really safe. I will definitely be going back to stay with Colette whenever there's another concert in Oakland. She's a real gem, and so is her cottage!
