I enjoyed the stay at the home in Saratoga. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and it was convenient to travel up to Cupertino where I was working. There are good hiking trails within minutes, the downtown area is cute as well as nearby Los Gatos. The downstairs portion of the home was much larger than I expected and as I was staying with a coworker, we had plenty of room for privacy. Everything was very clean, the sheets of high quality and the beds were comfortable. The check in and out process was very easy, we had a later arrival on the first night and our host was a good communicator and accommodating. Loved the thoughtful note and snacks left by the host also! The sauna was roomy and clean and provided for some nice relaxation after a long work day. Wish it was a little warmer during my stay so we could enjoy the patio, but it was still early spring---I could definitely imagine sipping a glass of wine and enjoying the atmosphere there. Now on to the rules--- Personally, I will not stay again in an Air B&B where I have to remove my own sheets. I do that when I stay with family to be courteous, but never when I pay for a place. I did know this up front and thought I would try it out, but through the process learned that it's just not for me, it detracted from the overall stay experience. Shoe removal is quite a reasonable request (especially with light colored carpet)...My only other suggestion is to give guests a bench near the front door or someplace where shoes can be comfortably removed. Overall the price is a good value for the area and amount of space and amenities.
