Upon arrival, Marlene was very helpful in showing us around and explaining everything to us. Her dogs made us feel right at home. The space is beautiful and close to Los Gatos and Saratoga. We were there for 9 days and it was important to us to be comfortable and have a nice outdoor space. Her back yard is like a little oasis, it was very quiet and beautiful. The photos are accurate and it is amply stocked with anything you would need. The bed is VERY comfortable. We loved staying at Marlene's pool house.
