Carol is such a sweet, genuine, and pragmatic host. I stayed over during my college finals week to study, and I'm happy to say there were many places around the house to do my work (living room, dining room, gardens in the front and back). The garden in the front is especially peaceful and beautiful. We got along really well, and I think Carol can tell when you need some space and she's happy and interested to talk when you want.
The location is convenient to downtown Mountain View, by bike it took 5 minutes. The neighborhood, although near the main arteries, is very peaceful and quiet. I personally felt comfortable running and biking at all times, whether early morning or late at night.
Of all the nice parts of this stay, I must say I am the most happy because Carol is such an amazing host. This is in the true spirit of an Airbnb, and I'm excited to return.
