Set in the very close vicinity of scenic downtown Los Gatos, yet without being too far from the rest of the Bay Area, one may experience the calm quiet of this beautiful and safe neighborhood without being totally isolated from everywhere else.
Take CA route 17 (or Route 9, for the adventurous) to Santa Cruz Beach in as little as 40 minutes or SF City itself in the same via CA route 85 and I-280 .
Or, sit in the open space area outside the guest house and brew up a cuppa, to enjoy the serenity of this charming mountain town.
One may cook and even if one doesn't drive, Safeway at downtown Los Gatos is just 0.5 mi (800 meters) away. Don't forget to admire all the beautiful citrus plants the neighborhood has while traversing in and out!
Howard himself is a great host. When my toddler son ran a temperature, and I asked to loan a thermometer, he was responsive and quick.
5/5 will stay again
