I. Cannot. Say. Enough. This place is really special. It's a couple of blocks (literally, two) from downtown Los Gatos, which made getting up for breakfast or going to a bar so much easier and fun to walk back and forth (it was a very safe walk too).
The studio is above their living quarters so you wake up to great views of the mountains at your private patio. The entrance is well-lit so you can see where you're going and getting in and out is easy.
Marlene was very communicative with us and always made herself available. She was also very respectful of our privacy and schedules.
The amenities were stellar too--everything was considered. She had chargers stored by the bed, plenty of lighting, games, a yoga mat, lots of towels, treats (yes, the bottles of wine are for real), reading and a binder of menus from local restaurants.
It was a relaxing and amazing place for us to stay and this is the kind of place that makes Airbnb so great.
