Pam and Greg's place is a lovely escape in the redwoods just a stone's throw from Silicon Valley. The space was lovingly remodeled by Greg's own hands, feels new, was spotless, and has lots of nice touches -- cork flooring, a well apportioned kitchen w new appliances, Gevalia coffee machine, a stylish bathroom with a deep tub great for a soak, bright lighting throughout, and effective heating system. You can easily cook meals with the collection of kitchenware and pantry basics here. Wifi was great and lots of power outlets around the space. Pam and Greg stocked the fridge with organic bread, fruit, eggs, and drinks which were all very welcome. The bathroom even had scented epsom salts for soaking. A lot of thought has gone into the small touches to make folks feel welcome and at home. Pam and Greg were always a pleasure to communicate with.
I drove past the house at first--Greg had his eye out and flagged me down. He gave me tips on the local hiking (the space borders a regional park with lots of gorgeous redwoods) and shared some of the local color and stories. He also graciously let me check out late, which I hugely appreciated. The neighborhood (if you'd call it that) is quiet and peaceful, with birds singing and nature all around.
I hope to come again sometime soon!
