Paradise!!! What can I say - Marlene's place was SO COMFORTABLE and a nice walk from downtown Los Gatos. I absolutely hated to leave. It's quiet, the pool is refreshing, and the place is surrounded by her green-thumb gardens. Plus - if you are there at the right time of year, you get to see her Night-blooming cereus! I had never seen one before. It was awesome. The house is so nice with beautiful views - and I felt completely at home.It's nicely decorated and the bed was really comfortable. Marlene and her husband made me feel right at home. I miss it already. :(
