Maria's home is very beautiful and in a high-end, exclusive, woodsy neighborhood. We saw deer on the road several times. The home is centrally located, about 35 minutes from San Francisco, and 10 minutes to Palo Alto.
The guest house is tastefully decorated, with a great bathroom and shower. There were snacks, coffee, tea, and the small fridge had beverages which we enjoyed. Maria is a great host and a very nice person. We would definitely come back to this great place.
