The house is in a great location. Close to Alum rock park and we were only an hour away from San Francisco to the north, Santa Cruz Beach to the west, and Monterey/Carmel Valley to the south. It was spacious and had everything we needed to be comfortable and cook (which I didn't do much of because we're on vacation:). But close to a variety of restaurants for takeout. Nice outdoor space but the weather was too cold for us Floridians to fully enjoy. Our family loved the home and had a great time and looking forward to staying there again!
