I couldn't be happier with my stay at Linda's. The listing was 100% accurate, including the pics and description. The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was great!

I had absolutely everything I needed for a comfy stay. Linda provided everything from scissors and tape to shampoo and toothpaste -- the kinds of things you're likely to forget on a trip but really appreciate having. The wi-fi worked perfectly, as did the TV, plumbing, and everything else that could go potentially go wrong. Zero problems.

The neighborhood felt safe and was quiet -- good for walking around during the day and sleeping at night. I walked to the BART station and the grocery stores. The house is at the top of a small hill, so if you need assistance walking you'll probably prefer to drive. I'm reasonably fit but not an athlete, and I walked to Lake Merritt and all the way around it from Linda's place with no trouble. (FYI it takes roughly an hour, maybe a little less, to completely circumnavigate the lake.)

The location is extremely convenient to the freeway; probably less than 2 minutes and you're on your way. Surprising how close given how quiet and serene the neighborhood is.

Linda is amazingly helpful and attentive despite her busy life; she made me feel like a welcome and honored guest from the first communication to the last goodbye. She made everything sweeter; even her fruit tasted exceptionally good!

She's truly one of a kind. I can't recommend her and her clean, inviting home highly enough, especially if you're traveling on your own, as I was, and could benefit from seeing a friendly face at the end of the day.

Thank you so much for everything, Linda!
