Ruth's home was lovely and spacious. The views were spectacular. I realized before we checked in that they had both a Keurig and also an xpresso coffee machine. I asked if they had a regular coffee maker and Ruth's colleague produced one at check in which was very helpful. There was a grill but it was a charcoal grill rather than a gas grill. Everything was great though and the large TV and th e games, etc. were a big hit. Overall, Ruth's place is just a great place to stay in San Carlos. The wine and snacks were also a very nice touch.
