It's hard to even call Linda's place an Airbnb. Having stayed at many lovely and clean (a major criteria of mine) Airbnb's over the years, none of them match the sparkling cleanliness, the beautiful surroundings, the unending amenities, the thoughtful touches, and the warmth and care of hosts Linda and Raul. I would really call Linda's place the finest of upscale boutique hotels with personalized service.
Linda's place is located on a ridge in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood, close to all the SF sites, but secluded from the hubbub of the city, with spectacular views of the foliage and houses of SF and the white capped ocean in the distance. The house is simply gorgeous, clean lines, beautiful works of art to feast the eye upon (if you can stop looking out the large beautifully set windows overlooking the lovely views), sparkling sparkling clean, inviting and warm.
The guest room continues this trend, with the top quality of the mattress, bedding and pillows, a closet built to ease the needs of the traveler with a basket of snacks, waters, and chocolates, plenty of hanging space, thoughtful small boxes for stowing items, and an umbrella to fight off the SF mists and rains. High speed tech chargers are next to the bed, and lamps with adjustable lighting levels.
The bathroom was spotless, with a medicine chest full of every item a traveler could ever need but forgot to pack. There are plenty of thick, pampering towels and terry robes provided for the guest.
Most of the Airbnb's we have stayed in do not supply any sort of breakfast; or if they do, it's a roll or a baguette and jam. At Linda's place you tell her when you would like to eat and what foods you like, and out you come to a table set with beautiful china, a full breakfast, juice, coffee and tea, and a view out the windows or down into the calming backyard of native plants, bamboo fountain, and at nights, local wildlife eating peanuts that Linda tosses to them out the windows. We were treated to a different delicious breakfast each morning and delighted in our conversations with Linda and Raul, extremely interesting, warm and welcoming hosts and individuals.
Yes, Linda's place is more expensive than many other Airbnb's but you will truly never find any other property that can come close to this outstanding property and the loveliness of it's hosts. We look forward to returning often!
