A convenient oasis in the crowded Bay Area. Yes, Cheryl's house on a quiet street was ridiculous close to everything, you can walk to the grocery store, coffee shop, restaurants, downtown Sunnyvale and parks.
The backyard is the hidden gem. Tons of private, quiet space, a fig, persimmon & avocado tree (we were told to help ourselves!). We had most of our meals outside. The hot tub was a bonus. Just entering the backyard and I felt my shoulders relax.
Some of the nice touches were the welcome message in chalk on the patio (which the kids added to), above and beyond were the fresh vegetables from the farmers market, eggs, and coffee with purified water.
We didn't have to do anything for the two cats but asked if we could feed them because that was fun for the kids otherwise they're outdoor cats who we rarely saw. All and all Cheryl was super friendly and accommodating and quick to respond to all my questions. We will defiantly be coming back and I highly recommend!
