This place is a gem! James’ description was accurate, but what could not be conveyed is how thoughtfully designed and serene this hideaway is. James has designed a small space that doesn’t feel cramped or compromising. It is actually possible to cook a full meal in the beautiful kitchen area! The setting is secluded but only a few minutes to Palo Alto, Mountain View and the rest of the peninsula. Access to major highways is easy.
As a host, Jim was superb. Kind, responsive and cheerful. Unfortunately we arrived late for the check-in and had trouble locating the place as it is secluded. Jim kindly met and assisted us and had thoughtfully turned on the heat and made our first night very comfortable.
I highly recommend James’ artist hideaway and will definitely seek it out again on future trips to the Bay Area.
