Having married a country boy, intimidated by the big city, Jamie's place seemed perfect for us to spend a long weekend in the Bay Area for our anniversary. And it was. Brisbane is a quaint little town just outside San Francisco and one we fell in love with.

From our arrival, Jamie treated us as if she'd known us her whole life. She communicated with us and was very flexible (as we tried to be as well). The description was exactly as it was presented online.

Not only did Jamie provide a fantastic place for us to stay, her hospitality was top notch. There were maps and guidebooks there for us to use in addition to her expertise on the area having lived there a long time. She knew where to go and what to do and the best times to do it.

Jamie does have animals but they didn't bother us at all and are very sweet. Our interaction with the dogs was mainly when we sat out in the evenings enjoying the view and because we told her we didn't mind. We are both dog people. It was very much like being at home.

The kitchen was stocked with anything you might need to cook appliance and accessory wise. There was a very comfy couch, TV and cable which we enjoyed while winding down in the evening.

Parking is limited on her street (which is very narrow) but she was happy to share the driveway with us and when we did need street parking it was easy to find.

I am so looking forward to returning to the Bay area and when we do, we'll be booking with Jamie again. It truly made our trip!
