I've had the pleasure of staying at Carol's home on three separate occasions. Carol instantly made me feel right at home. She is a great hostess, very charming, and well informed about the area. So far, I've stayed in 2 of her rooms. Both were pleasant to stay in, always neat and tidy, as well as visually appealing. I give Carol and her home high marks! I would encourage you to rent a room from her. This is a wonderful spot to stay in when visiting Silicon Valley. It's centrally located, charming, and a great deal!
