We loved staying at David and Kevin’s home and here’s why:
The accommodations: The home was very convenient to everything. Across the street was a Starbucks, Breakfast/lunch café, Local beer brewery, Chinese and Mexican restaurants and a gourmet grocery store that had just about anything you needed. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The pictures don’t do justice to the yard. It was so relaxing just sitting by the Koi pond with our refreshments. David and Kevin are growing all kinds of fruit and vegetables amidst the flowers and trees. The bedroom was nicely decorated with a very comfortable Queen Size bed. Nice closet space, desk and TV were in the room. WiFi was excellent. The bathroom was right next to the bedroom with a nice shower head and good water pressure. We felt it was very private.
Location: The home is very convenient to major roadways and public transportation. We used it as a base and traveled up to San Francisco, Sonoma and down to Palo Alto and surroundings by car. Many days we used the CalTrain from Redwood City, which is a 10 minute drive from their home. The downtown area is filled with shops and all types of restaurants and in walking distance to the train station. The train takes from 35 minutes to an hour to get into San Francisco depending on which train you take. It’s a double decker train and a nice comfortable ride. From the train station it’s about a 20 minute walk up Fourth Street into Union Square.
Hosts: We can’t say enough about the hospitality of David and Kevin. They went out of their way to make us feel more like friends than guests. They are very knowledgeable about the area and helped us find our way around. Pete the cat was so sweet and made the stay really feel like home. He loves to play and loves getting his ears rubbed. It was hard not packing him into our suitcases when we left.
