Carol is the perfect host: welcoming, informative, and eager to help. Check in and check out were seamless. Carol clearly has a knack for decorating. The furniture is IKEA, so nothing fancy, but very cute, colorful, and comfortable. The apartment itself is a relatively long walk from the Caltrain and downtown Mountain View, so best to have a car. There is a dedicated garage space, which is nice. There is internet, apple TV, and chromecast. No local or cable TV. Laundry facilities in the building. The road traffic is a bit noisy in the living room and second bedroom. Overall, a great stay.
