Paul and his wife were great hosts, they make you feel very welcome and even provide tea/coffee and pastries in the morning. Their house is amazing and the garden room, even though it's a "private room" is still some what secluded There is a wonderful patio that you get to yourself as well as a private entrance/exit. The upstairs has a wonderful patio that has a wonderful view of the bay area. If the weather doesn't permit, the windows upstairs are massive and you don't loose any of the view being inside. I would certainly recommend this place to others and if I happen to be in the bay area again, I won't hesitate to stay with Paul again.
