Initially, we were a bit apprehensive about staying at this cottage house for more than 2 months when we first saw the listing. But all of our concerns quickly faded when we first step into the cottage. It was a very well quipped house with plenty of amenities and the character of the house lets you feel right at home. The layout of the cottage is lovely and we really liked the loft heading up to the 3rd floor. We also love the location which is quite serene and relaxing comparing to other parts of Silicon Valley. We enjoyed taking a stroll to the park near the bay and love biking or rollerblading on the seemingly endless trail along the Guadalupe River which is only about 3 blocks away. The neighborhood is quite safe, we often return to the cottage at very late hours and not once did we feel uncomfortable. Amel and Nico are great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed interacting with their family. Overall, we had a great experience staying at the cottage and would love to return here again in the future.
