Cannot recommend Marlene’s cottage highly enough!! I travel a lot and always stay at Airbnb’s, and have never had a host as accommodating and caring as Marlene. Not only was she quick to provide a few extras that I asked for, but she truly cared about my comfort and well-being, as I was traveling for medical treatments. Many AirBnb’s provide essentials for the first few days but then you’re left to fend for yourself. Marlene continuously checked to see if I was low on anything, and graciously provided it.
The space itself is beautiful, with lots of natural light and surrounded by lovey nature. Although it is one large room (aside from a closed in bathroom), the layout and made it feel like a cozy home, and central heat and AC meant it was never drafty, even on the chilly San Jose nights. If it had been warmer during my stay, I would have enjoyed the beautiful pool right off of the cottage. Chrome cast made streaming all my own shows easy and convenient. There was everything I could possibly need in the kitchen, including a full-sized coffee maker which I really appreciate!
The location is also ideal, a mile from downtown Los Gatos and easy access to highway 17. I will absolutely stay with Marlene again!
