On AirBnB, I normally rent an "entire" place and avoid "shared" spaces (I like privacy and quiet), but I'm sure glad that I made an exception for Linda's place. Linda was extremely sensitive to my needs, and the space was designed to be both private and quiet for guests. I also ended up having a number of pleasant conversations with Linda in her gorgeous living room -- it was fun, and the Japanese-themed furniture and art was fabulous. When I requested a fan, she even gave me an antique Japanese mochi barrel to place it on! The breakfast was ridiculously good. I could go on... Probably the best AirBnb stay I've ever had (and I've had many, as I travel regularly for both work and pleasure).
