Helen's place is really nice, it has a full bathroom and a full kitchen, it is spacious and has great light. I was there for an art show and had my car parked, it was very nice to be able to park in her driveway. The studio is in the very back of the yard, so it is very private. It is a quick drive to Palo Alto downtown to have a drink or to go have dinner. Very convenient connection to the 101.
