Wow! What a sweet house and garden - oasis is definitely the right word to describe it! The house is bright and cheerful, clean, and has a wonderful vibe. There is a lush garden out back that felt like a peaceful sanctuary. It was amazing that it's so close to the "action" (shops, restaurants, and lively people) of the Mission district - only 1.5 blocks from 24th street - but was quiet and felt very safe. Linda was a wonderful hostess - even though she's new to Air BnB, I could tell she had subletted before. She had a printed set of house guidelines and tips, as well as a list of grocery stores, her favorite restaurants, etc for me. I really wish I had been able to stay longer and enjoy the neighborhood and house for a few days. I will definitely stay here again when I return to San Francisco - the location can't be beat, and the house just has a very good, cozy, homey vibe to it. Thank you, Linda and tropical oasis for a lovely stay!
