Unable to travel anywhere this summer, we rented Yonten's house for a week to get away from San Francisco's fog and gloom. The house did not dissapoint. It was beautifully appointed and full of character. We spent most of our time during the day in the kitchen-family room, from which french doors open to the backyard. Sitting at a table under a huge tree we ate all our meals. The outside space is incredibly peaceful and quiet. It was the same at night. We slept better than we ever do at home. The house is a short drive from downtown Palo Alto, which has a lot of great restaurants providing take-out lunches and dinners. I definitely recommend the place.
