What a lovely and peaceful location! The cottage was quietly tucked behind the main house for a nice sense of privacy. There were many thoughtful amenities provided by the hosts Marlene and Jeff. The hosts were also helpful in acclimating to the neighborhood and available if needed, but also respectful of their guests' privacy.

The cottage is within walking distance of a great 'locals' business district on California Avenue-with a grocery store, and many excellent restaurants and cafes. Also, access to CalTrain is nearby and less than a 10 minute walk. The Garden Cottage is Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet and private retreat while visiting the Palo Alto area.
