Colette is an awesome host! She helped me with my bags and held out an umbrella for me because it was raining so hard when I arrived. The studio is absolutely beautiful and very private. Everything in the studio is brand new. It's spotlessly clean. I received a bottle of wine on arrival - so sweet. The studio has a very comfortable sofa bed and a small kitchenette - no stove but there is a microwave. The studio is quiet and has everything I need. It's in a nice, residential part of Oakland. I'm enjoying this place so much that I have extended my stay! Thank you, Colette :-)
