I was lucky enough to stumble upon Paul's & Sarah's cottage, such a rare find - having a studio-sized cottage on the back yard of a Menlo Park's house. Anyhow, the place looks just like in the pictures, cozy, with outdoor seating, keypad check-in, and thermostat that you can adjust as you like.
With a rental car getting around was super convenient - just short ride to downtown Palo Alto or Menlo Park, and highway access just a minute away. Great price / performance, would definitely come back the next time I'm in the Bay Area.
