Marlene's place is a lovely little cottage tucked behind her house. I was very cozy there, and especially appreciated the hot tub after a 6.5 hour flight!
The bed was comfortable. The bedroom is remarkably quiet given that Alma St is just behind the property. The location also cannot be beat – easy walking distance to the California Ave Caltrain station, restaurants, etc. There's also a grocery store (Molly Stone's) right across from the Caltrain station.
All in all, a wonderful stay – very quiet and private!
