My parents stayed with Linda when they were down visiting us in Oakland. Her location is great -- close to where we live, but also close to a great walking district in Oakland and Piedmont.

This is the second time my mom has stayed with Linda. The first time my mom felt so comfortable and welcome at her place that she immediately booked their next visit for a few months later.

Both my parents found the accommodations to be great; they said the bed was good and comfortable, and the bathroom they had (they stayed in the larger bedroom with separate bath) was very clean. Linda had coffee and breakfast available for them, and my parents felt comfortable coming and going from the house on whatever schedule they had each day. Most importantly, they found Linda and her husband to be very sweet and friendly.

For me, who organized the trip for my parents and handled the online stuff, I really appreciated how prompt Linda was with replying to questions or requests. And she very quickly (within 10 minutes of my parents' departure) called and texted me to let me know my parents had left a bag behind.

Overall, my parents and I all have nothing but great things to say about Linda and her place.
