As a first-time Air b and b user, I was a bit uncertain as to how this thing would work. I think Melinda may have spoiled me! She was very responsive to all communications, including my request to change dates at the last minute to coordinate with my son coming to town. I felt very welcome, comfortable and safe in her home. The room itself is spacious with great views - it could use a little sprucing up, perhaps a coat of paint. Melinda is very friendly and willing to share her knowledge of the area.

This neighborhood of stately, well-kept older homes (even mansions) is in a great location, with plenty of on-street parking. Grocery stores, restaurants, and a bus line connecting to the trolley are all within short walking distance. The only drawback is that it's in the path for some flights taking off from Lindbergh Field.

I would definitely stay with Melinda again!
