Sheila's place is located in a quiet neighborhood in Los Altos, accessible via a two-minute drive from either 85 or 280. The rental property is a small guest house behind her larger main house, out in the back yard next to a large swimming pool surrounded by a ton of beautiful garden plants.
Everything in the house was like-new, with modern style furnishings. The queen bed in the bedroom is pretty firm, but I was able to sleep on it all right. We also found a pull-out twin bed under the sofa in the living room. The TV has dish network service, and the wireless internet is good enough for light browsing in the evening. The kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, gas stove, toaster oven and a Keurig machine for coffee. There is also central heat/AC, adjustable via a thermostat on the wall.
Overall, this place has everything you need to crash after work, or to just relax in one of the nicest parts of the bay area. We also met Sheila randomly one as we were getting in, and she was super-nice and genuinely happy to have us staying there.
This was my first airbnb experience, so I'm happy it turned out well. Thanks again.
