Chris and Taru house was beautiful! Exactly as pictured. It was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the whole house and the district as was secure and quiet. It's located on a quiet street but there are restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and groceries just 10 min walk. You should also consider that if you plan to use Caltrain in the morning and have coffee with you, so you should add additional 15 min to get to the station as Starbucks and Peet's crowded in the morning. As I stayed for 2 weeks I felt very comfortable like with old friends with Chris and Taru and very grateful for their help. Could not have asked for a better stay in Valley.
