From the coastal trail maps and regional guides to the chocolate treats and delicious home-made granola, Melanie goes the extra mile to create a welcoming environment for her guests. She was the perfect host: engaging and informative about what to do and see in the local area, pleasantly conversant, attentive to our needs, and respectful of our privacy. Her condo, ideally perched on a quiet street corner a few blocks from Lands End, was clean, well-kept, cheerful, and thoughtfully decorated as portrayed in the photos. We highly recommend staying with Melanie and hope that we ourselves are able to do so again the next time we visit the Bay Area. Thank you Melanie for an enjoyable stay.
