Maya and her family were super welcoming and Maya organized for her daughter and husband to welcome us because she was out of town when we arrived. They made sure to greet us and tell us about the property and have a chat, but then left us alone, while making sure we knew we could reach out if we needed anything.

The cottage is located in a really quiet and green neighborhood—it's a beautiful walk (15 min) to downtown Mt View's restaurants etc. The place itself was spartan like Maya described, but all you need is there (bed, bathroom, lounge chairs, Wi-Fi, kitchen, washer and drier...), and there was snacks, beer and wine for us in the kitchen.
