The house is cute and cozy (as advertised). Rony is a lovely host, responding quickly as we needed and giving us a tour when we arrived. The backyard was especially a wonderful retreat. The highway noise wasn't bad and occasional trains were heard but not so loud that we had to stop to hear them. Rony takes great care of the property and it was an easy place to live for the month we were in between homes. We loved the neighborhood and an easy walk into downtown San Carlos that is filled with surprising stores like a gluten free bakery.
