Our host was very easy to communicate with, responding to both email and text. The location was perfect for us as we had business in the immediate area. We would recommend a car, as it is a little over a mile into the town of Los Gatos. The place is spacious, very quiet, with all the amenities one could hope for. Our hostess was very generous in stocking the kitchenette with not only breakfast foods, but also late night snacks. The bed is very comfortable, the shower works great. We were offered use of the pool and jacuzzi, which unfortunately we had no time to take advantage of. It was a delight staying in a more rural setting. As we are in the area two or three times a year, we will absolutely be checking with Mariene, first, to accomodate our loding needs!
