Linda is a warm and welcoming host. Her cozy home is colorfully decorated with art and books. The super comfortable bed and private bath are just off the kitchen with doors leading to a tranquil garden. My husband and I were in good enough shape to make it up the steep hill and stairs to the house. If we had more time, we would have attempted the hike up the hill behind the house. The Bernal Heights neighborhood is very unique. We enjoyed eating at several of the great restaurants and coffee shops on nearby Cortland Avenue. Also on that street are yoga and Pilates studios, interesting shops and a branch of the San Francisco library. We got around fine with Lyft during the first part of our stay. For the last couple of days we needed a rental car to go visit family outside of the city. We had no problem parking on Linda's street--but this might have been because many residents were gone for the holiday weekend. Linda would have tried to save us a spot if we had needed her to, but my recommendation would be to do without a car if you don't absolutely have to have one. Overall, we had a wonderful visit: We would choose to stay at Linda's place again. Highly recommend!
