Don't think twice about Linda's place, I'd grab the place if I were you. The room is spacious and thoughtfully arranged with essentials. Leo, the cat is super well behaved and keeps to himself and his buddies Christian/Linda mostly. The location of the house is peaceful and away from city's bustle and personally is to my liking. Bart (Macarthur St) is less than a mile away and is around $5-6 when pooled in Ride Sharing during peak times. Piedmont Ave, which is 10 mins by walk is a charming street with some good joints to eat and hang out. About the hosts, enough can't be told about their (Linda and Christian's) welcoming nature and affectionate reception. They are very inclusive, open minded and are easy people to mingle with. For those who wish to cook food, the kitchen is well stocked and Linda-Christian are open about letting guests use the kitchen. The wi-fi is super fast and the TV listing is super long. The bed is by far the best I have slept in and deserves over five stars! We stayed here for 10 days and had a very pleasant stay. Christian and I enjoyed our conversations. Linda was very quick in responding to our questions even before we began our stay and was always eager to know if we needed any help during our stay. The pair genuinely cared about making our trip successful and I felt like I was leaving behind very close friends when it was time for goodbyes.
If I were to visit SF again, Linda-Christian you will be hearing from me.
