The private patio space is what lured me to book this very comfortable and stylish cottage. For some, hospitality is a checklist and for others, like Maria, hospitality is a gift they offer to others. Maria's hospitality is reflected in the little ways like saving the best parking space for you or leaving out chocolates or putting the lights on for an evening check in.
I loved this space so much, so peaceful and quiet. The neighborhood is amazing! Baby deer wandering around, gorgeous succulents and gentle breezes. Light hiking and fabulous coffee are short drives away. Emerald Hills is a hidden gem in the Silicon Valley. Serenity away from the hubbub, yet close enough to all of life's necessity.
I'm 5'4 and brought a weekend bag and a work bag. For me, the room and bathroom were cozy and comfortable. The queen bed is soft like a cloud. I like that Maria offered 2 sets of pillows- 1-firm & 1-soft. The bathroom sink adds a little flare and fun.
I highly recommend Maria's cottage to anyone looking to be in AND escape the Bay Area.
