Helen's place is exactly as described and captured in photos -- the gardens, estate, neighborhood are indeed that well-maintained, quaint, and cozy. Situated close to Los Gatos downtown, you won't have to drive far for food + shops. Helen is responsive, gracious, and incredibly accomodating, offering me freshly hand-picked peaches from her yard and allowing childhood friends I haven't seen in awhile to hang out in her garden. Be sure to make yourself a cup of joe, sit on the red cushioned swing, and have a good read! Then take a walk in the neighborhood and enjoy all the unique architecture!!
