This was the perfect little house for what we needed it for: a central location nearby our friends in the area, and not too far from Saratoga's Mountain Winery for a concert we were going to, with multiple rooms for sleeping. The layout is a little funky, but that actually works out pretty good for people with kids, as there are two living areas with couches and TVs.
Pros: Great Host - good instructions left and good communication. Location (for us) - It was central to our friends in the area, and close to various things we were out and about to see, and within about 15 minutes to the airport to pick up an out-of-towner. Check out - nothing really specified, so we did kindof a general half-hour once over before we hit the road, but didn't have to stress about getting things "just so" on the 10 point checkout plan (which has happened before). Bed Situation - Master Bed was comfortable for side sleeping, and there's an additional king size bed in a guest room (so we didn't feel bad about taking the master and leaving the guest room to the in-laws). Appliances - BBQ was legitimately nice, Kitchen appliances likewise were very nice.
Cons: Minor nits only, really - there are not many chairs; the space is set up for a max of 4 people to be eating at once either indoors or outdoors. Bedrooms were a little small (it is the bay area, after all), but we didn't spend much time in them anyway... doors were a little creaky when you got close to closing them (not a big deal but we were trying to be quiet while putting a toddler to bed).
Other notes: Space definitely has more of a "lived in" feel than a typical "sterile minimalism-inspired" airbnb. We definitely prefer the "lived in" feel, so it worked for us. There seemed to be critters rustling around in the bamboo out back while we were sitting around enjoying the good weather at night. However, maybe those critters eat mosquitos, as we spent a pretty good amount of time outside at night and came away with no bites - very much unlike home. Finally, this isn't really a walkable location... you can walk to the park down the way, but there's not really groceries, restaurants, nightlife, or other things like that within walking distance. The good news is all of that is a short drive, but the bad news is, it definitely requires a car.
Verdict: We'll probably be looking for this spot again the next time we're heading to SJ area!
