La Vista Hermosa is absolutely beautiful, and Ginger is a delightful host. The home is spacious, beautifully decorated, and instantly feels like home. Ginger has thought of a multitude of small things that so many hosts don't think about. Going way beyond the basics, she left fruit and snack and an assortment of teas and coffee. I've stayed in many places that said they had a fully appointed kitchen, but it turned out that what they meant was that they had pots and pans, so if you wanted to cook you needed to buy everything from salt on up. Virginia has thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with all manner of herbs and spices, specialty cooking tools, oils, vinagers, etc. She even left wood and a starter log in the fireplace. Her cozy deck is the perfect place to welcome the morning (maybe still wrapped in a robe) or watch the sun go down over the bay and the city. The entire living and dining rooms have beautiful views. It's quiet, and the queen bed is very comfortable (you might want an eye mask if you sleep in the front room as there is a nearby streetlight). She was very flexible with my arrival time, which I very much appreciated. I would have loved to have stayed longer.
