This is probably one of my top Airbnb experiences of all time. For starters, the Los Gatos and Monte Sereno town is a blast. Cute shops, great restaurants and anything you need. Marlene had amazing suggestions for restaurants, and I tried them all. The Airbnb itself is on a gorgeous single-family home property just minutes from town in Monte Sereno. The pool house is simply amazing. It is sharply furnished and has comfy chairs, couch and a very comfy huge bed. The bathroom is super nice and the kitchenette is well appointed with everything you need including coffee, tea a microwave and a large mini fridge. When I arrived I was greeted by Marlene and she had a generous spread of snacks in the unit for me. The architecture of this pool house is incredible. Just hanging out inside was joyful and it reminded me of a beautiful hotel room we once stayed in Costa Rica. The views from the pool house and the pool deck are amazing. I enjoyed wine next to the pool as the sun was setting one day and it was an incredibly relaxing and recharging experience. Marlene is super friendly and one of the best hosts I have experienced. I am an Airbnb host myself so the whole experience really hit home for me as five stars all across the board. I will look forward to staying here again given any opportunity when I come back and visit.
