Even though being in the hills, it has easy access to where ever you want to go in the Peninsula, north or south. It really helped me during my 13 day stay in this area and the work I had to do mainly in Redwood City, here you find nice coffee shops as other amenities you may need, a charming tea room on main st Lovejoy's, to start your day, outings to San Francisco or as close as Palo Alto within 45 min. were fun, close to I-280 voted one of the most beautiful highways in USA, most importantly, everything is as advertised, plus the nice comfortable bed and charming room, Silvia's home is a welcoming feeling of being at home away from home, I highly recommend it, Grazie mille Silvia, Tanti auguri, ciao.
