We are a family of four from Denmark, to adults and to children at the age of 10 and 13, who stayed for three wonderful months in the cute cottage while my husband was doing research at Stanford as a doctor. We could not in any way have wished for a better experience! Everything was absolutely PERFECT, and more than that. The house is SO nice, spacy, clean, welcoming and everything works perfectly. There is a wonderful KINGSIZE bed, a beautiful garden, a well equipped kitchen and everything you need. The neighborhood is very safe, beautiful and friendly and the house is close - in walking or biking distance - to everything you need. We have enjoyed lots of fantastic hikes in the area (on Laurels recommendation) the shops and some very good restaurants. Laurel and Steve are the most wonderful hosts, and heartwarm and helpful people - they helped us out of every little thing we needed and made us feel so at home and comfortable at once. We can strongly recommend everyone to stay here - we wish we could have stayed so much longer. Signe
