The property is close to Stanford, Facebook and Google. The local grocery store provides basic everyday needs and more extensive cooking needs (fresh fish and organic products) are a short drive away in Mountain View.

Todd is an exceptional host. We called at the last minute to see if we could check in earlier than we had initially indicated and Todd was very accommodating (we came to town to celebrate the birth of our first grandchild, and he came early). He gave us a tour of the property and showed us how everything works and what fruits and herbs were in season in the garden.

The kitchen is a cook's dream. It is fully stocked with all appliances you could want. My husband and I made fresh pomegranate juice from pomegranates we picked from the garden. Figs, apples, berries, lemons, limes, and rosemary were also in season when we visited, and we utilized all in the time we were there. The property is quite and serene; a little slice of heaven in an urban environment.

Todd eclectic style is amazing. The Zen Den has a neon sign and a comfortable bed for watching tv; the bathroom has a huge shower with a skylight; the tempurpedic bed with massage in the master bedroom was my husband's favorite amenity. Mine was the private patio and garden.

I highly recommend Todd and this property; we plan to rent from him our next visit to the area. It exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended it to our family and friends who visit the area.
