Any AirBnB user would be lucky to stay at Linda's cottage. She is such a warm and welcoming person, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. She stocked a snack shelf (including wine!)and a minifridge for us, and when we checked in, pulled out a map and used it to point out all the must-sees in the area, including the Point Loma lighthouse, for which she left us her annual pass. While we were there, San Diego was having some unusually cold, rainy, and windy weather, with lots of palm tree branches down and wind damage. On the second night, the entire neighborhood lost power. Within minutes, Linda had texted with details of her emergency plan and arranged to get us candles and flashlights. When we checked out at the end of two days, she graciously gave us a ride to the airport.

In addition to her great hosting skills, the cottage (and the neighborhood itself) is lovely and and feels very safe. The cottage is sunny and makes a great use of a small space. I would have loved to have had warmer weather and been able to take advantage of the great fenced-in garden with the fountain and the birdfeeder populated by cute little yellow finches.

If she would have me, I would stay at Linda's garden cottage anytime I was in the area!
