I loved living in Apt #1 and give it a solid five stars. The living space is unique, classic, well-maintained, and even better in person than in pictures.
My first impression: “This is the biggest little place I’ve ever stayed in,” and I stayed for a full month, filling drawers, cabinets, and closets with my stuff — with room left spare — and cooking dinner almost every night in a well-provided kitchen. Jim stocks the pantry with all the basics (olive oil, Himalayan salt, pepper, sugar, paper towels, baggies, containers for leftovers) and tops his hospitality off with a fridge full of apples and cuties, yogurt, bagels, butter, cream cheese and jam, bottled water, and orange juice. The pods for the Keurig are quality Peet’s Coffee.
The apartment has a full bathroom equipped with shampoo and conditioner and soft soap for the sink. There’s ample toilet paper and extra towels and even a large laundry basket.
If, like me, you appreciate downtown living, this is your place: the small apartment building is one block from main street Mountain View. The train station is an easy walk, and the building is on the VTA bus line. Vibrant weekend night-life and restaurants are a block away, and with your own parking space, you’re not competing for those prized spots.
Truly, I cannot think of one disappointment or complaint. In fact, if it were up to me, I would still be living on that sunny (yes, the windows face east) corner of California!
