We just spent 2 weeks at Christine's "Carlton Cottage". First we have to say Christine is a stellar host and sincerely cares about the comfort of and information coming from her guests. We found something missing from the amenities listed for the apartment, and she made sure we had it basically the next day. The "Cottage" is charming in decor and shows the owner really cares.
We are full time travelers and rarely find well equipped kitchens with food storage containers, good mixing bowls, high quality tableware and good quality knives. Christine made sure these were all part of her offerings. Another huge plus was the ample amount of closet and dresser space, so if you’re staying for a while you will have plenty of storage space for your belongings. Also the beds are both very comfortable and have excellent pillows. In addition the washer and dryer are great to have available.
The location couldn't get much better being walking distance to 3 grocery stores, several restaurants, coffee shops, etc. with easy driving access to downtown Los Gatos and highways 17 and 85. It is very convenient.
I know Christine is planning on getting a portable room air conditioner which will be very helpful for the very hot days of summer. Also this is an apartment in a regular neighborhood, so just be aware with that being the case, there can be a lot of activity and some noise, maybe a bit more in the summer when school is out. However with the windows closed it should be minimal.
Thank you Christine for a very nice stay!
