I have lived in the bay area for decades and never realised that this "countryside paradise" existed right near all the hustle bustle of Palo Alto, El Camino, and Page Mill. You really felt as if you were far out in the country, taking a little treed lane to get into town. It did not feel at all like suburbia.
James, the owner, was super friendly and interesting - I loved all of his art and personal touches.
we were in the unit for a month, and it worked well. We didn't do much cooking - it has a mini fridge and a rather small kitchen, but it is a fully equipped kitchen and we were able to cook some. There are lots of restaurants a few minutes drive away, so that wasn't an issue for us. There is a starbucks about a 20 min walk away, which we walked to daily in the relaxing neighborhood.
