Tom and Devora's place is lovely, and had everything we needed for our longer stay in the Bay Area while I was teaching at Stanford. They provided more than you would expect in terms of amenities--we were pleasantly surprised to find coffee, jam, breakfast items, cereal, tea, etc., not to mention easily accessible laundry with detergent. They were exceptional hosts, checking in regularly to see if we needed anything and providing tips for local places to eat and hike. Seeing their working studio was a real treat. The shack is small, but we are small people used to tiny house living, so if you're expecting to stretch out, or don't want to make and unmake a pull-out bed each day, this might not be the best place for you. The shower was pleasantly hot and kitchen had all the basics necessary to cook our own meals. We appreciated having an enclosed deck where our dog could be outside, and loved the proximity to the coast. Palo Alto is a quick 30 minute drive away, and La Honda Road sure beats commuting on the 101 or 280. We did not expect there to be quite so much construction on the fence/deck area during our final week at the shack, but understand this was a temporary disruption. Would highly recommend!
