We loved our stay at Amy & George's Cottage! This is what greeted us upon entry: http://cl.ly/image/0b0t2K1X2n1R

The place was clean and well-maintained. We brought all the toiletries/things we needed, but no fear -- the cabinets were stocked with "backups," just in case. If you needed a Q-tip, there was a cup full of them in the bathroom... that kind of stuff.

The house is located in a safe neighborhood with ample parking; it's super-quiet at night, and there's no crazy street traffic during the day. In other words, just right.

Amy was super-nice (and super-responsive to my inquiries), both via email and in person. I got the chance to briefly chat with her on our day of departure, and she was delighted to hear that we liked our stay.

Having lived in SFV for a number of years, I'm happy that I found a "second home" that I can come to when I visit some of my old friends!
