Thank you Meenu, Vijeta & Nandu for the unrivaled, superior sense of peace, safety, cleanliness, comfort & efficiency your guest house not only provides, but even transcends.
1.) I slept very soundly & peacefully. I'm a tough customer in preferring a firmer mattress. The bed & high quality linens & minimal, but unique decorations in neutral colors in sleeping room provide a strong feeling of peace. (*I read one review claiming the bed was soft. I found the bed to be on the firmer side. As I noted I'm very sensitive about this.)
2.) I had everything I needed in the kitchen to cook meals. The best part was the view from the kitchen window directly into one of the most beautiful backyards I've ever seen.
3.) Much larger than photos depict. Spacoius dining area & living room are open & airy with nice light from all the windows. The pale blue color of the walls in the living space paired with the simple, but beautiful & ornate furnishings consisting of more solid construction, fine art & fine fabrics INSTEAD of IKEA particleboard & plastic plants was much appreciated.
4.) The neighborhood is very safe & centrally located with more than a few different most desired destinations/parts of the south bay within close proximity.
5.) Words cannot begin to express my feeling about the backyard. *It is shared between guesthouse & host house yet feels more private than other outdoor areas not shared with hosts.* It is full of REAL plants & beautiful trees, sunlight in the morning & the most beautiful outdoor lighting at nighttime creating a high end resort/festival ambiance (not like Las Vegas 😊 ;) to be enjoyed privately as opposed to actually staying in a resort full of people. It truly must be the most beautiful backyard I have encountered within my lifetime of countless different places & environments via Airbnb & otherwise.
6.) The host couple & young cat are without a doubt among the most the genuine, down to earth & pleasant neighbors I've encountered within many an Airbnb. That alone is enough of a reason to select this location over another.
