Believe it or not, I chose Linda's guesthouse because I knew it would be perfect for my Shihtzu, Isabel. It turned out to be perfect for me, too. You just have to open the doors and there is a fabulous, meticulously maintained yard and patio for both dogs and people, with tables, chairs and a hammock.
The house itself was really clean and well supplied with dishes, flatware, pots and pans and linens. The mattress was good in the bedroom and the futon in the living room was very comfortable for sleeping. I loved the fireplace when it was cool in the evenings.
Linda was so prompt and helpful in replying to any questions or concerns. There was a bit of an issue with the wifi in the beginning, but it all worked out. She also shared the citrus from her trees.
I loved the location and as a single woman with only a 12 lb. dog for a companion, I always felt comfortable and secure. The house is close to freeways, museums, great restaurants, a wonderful yoga studio and one of the best fish markets (yes, in the desert), I''ve been to.
I stayed a little over a month and would absolutely recommend this house -- with or without a dog! Five stars!
