Steve and Ellen’s house is located at the beautiful and affluent Portola Valley residential area and very close to the 280 interstate highway junction. It has a beautiful panoramic view of the Stanford University campus and the Bay area. The building is clean, new, and aesthetically chic, surrounded by a Californian forest and a well-maintained tennis court, and in the morning you can hear birds chirping. It satisfies all three needs for nature, luxury and convenience. Steve and Ellen were exceptionally hospitable and helpful. Would recommend it for getaway and business, both.
