I stayed at Carol's home for 1 month, and could not have enjoyed my experience there more. Carol and Kai are wonderful, welcoming hosts, and made me feel right at home. Her house is beautiful, especially the garden out front. It's a great calm, relaxing space to get work done. The location is great in a cool neighborhood-- very short walk to downtown Mountain View, and I rode my bike to Stanford every day to work-- about a 30 minute ride. Carol is very accommodating, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the whole Bay Area; she has great restaurant and activity recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, you will enjoy your stay and really love getting to know the hosts!
