Linda was very accommodating. Because we had to first visit our daughter in Berkeley before coming to Linda's, we were uncertain about when we could meet up with her to obtain keys, etc. We were able to leave Berkeley earlier than expected, but Linda was still at work. She graciously agreed to leave work and meet us at her house, then return to work. The purpose of our visit was to be with our daughter who was having major surgery in Oakland. It was great to return to Linda and Christian's warm home after spending long days assisting with our daughter's post-surgery care. We had nice visits with them and their two cats in the evening and over coffee before leaving each morning. Staying in a home rather than in a hotel made our week in the East Bay Area during this difficult time much more comfortable.
