Ann was a very responsive and accommodating host. The house is very nice, we really enjoy spending time in the backyard (nice lights around it and in the umbrella). The kitchen has plenty of counter space and is well equipped with everything you need. The dining table can be expanded with 2 leaves and accommodates 6 people very comfortably. One aspect that is not apparent from the pictures is that the Kitchen and the family room (with the TV and library) are one large room facing the backyard; this was perfect as we spent most of the time in this room. The area is great and as a bonus Trader Joe’s is a few blocks away. We highly recommend staying at Ann’s house while in the San Carlos area.
