Our dog Oliver had been really agitated by the fireworks in SF, and therefore agitating the rest of us. Lynn's place in Burlingame was a perfect place to get him out of the city because all the fireworks were distant enough that he wasn't bothered at all. Lynn was very hospitable to us, and the bedroom we stayed in had great access to the backyard. My wife and I had a peaceful time. Might be back for New Years Eve!
