My only complaint about staying at Marlene's pool house was that our stay was so packed with activities we barely got to spend any time there! I would have gladly spent my whole stay just hanging out in the beautiful back patio, the roomy accommodations and the gorgeous walkable neighborhood. The walk to the main street of Los Gatos is about 20 minutes, the walk up is about 25 and it was great exercise for us. We felt like we burned off all the calories we gained eating in town and gained a bit more muscle. We know the area well so we didn't have to ask any questions but Marlene was always available and it was so nice to just touch base with her and feel so welcomed. The dogs are adorable and sweet so I got my dog fix since we don't have any. I can't recommend this place enough. Clean, quiet, convenient and really beautiful surroundings in the hills above Los Gatos. We were there for the graduation of our son from Santa Clara University and the drive time was a breeze. We look forward to returning!
