I've been traveling to Mountain View on business for years, and the hotel selection has always left something to be desired. This time I decided to try something new by staying in a backyard cottage--a much more delightful experience! Quiet neighborhood, peaceful yard, and a cute, cozy space that still has everything you need. The bed is in a loft, up a steep ladder with a low ceiling, but for me this was a feature, not a bug, as I love loft sleeping.
