My experience at Lynda's home will probably differ from the average stay since she was very gracious and allowed us to hold a bridal shower luncheon in her beautiful garden. She was great about setting expectations about the garden's state in October as the pictures in the listing were taken in the summer. Lynda was also amazing about preparing everything for the luncheon, communicating details, and even checked in regularly with helpful suggestions during the setup (and provided some invaluable blue tape!). She was also very quick to respond to any questions that came up both before and the day of the lunch. I would definitely stay with Lynda again in the future and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a lush unique experience in the San Jose area.
