Great stay at the little house in San Carlos! The house is independent and private, with lots of natural light - more than most rentals I've encountered in may trips to the area. Cynthia and her husband are outstanding hosts - super friendly, available and added extra touches like fresh fruit, water, and snacks in the 'fridge. I stayed during the rainstorms and but there were no problems locally, nor on my many trips to Palo Alto for work. Plus the big umbrella provided came in handy. There's lots of street parking at all hours, and San Carlos has many excellent restaurants very close by. I had a great week and would definitely stay here again.
