We absolutely loved Paul's home and would move back in tomorrow. It is amazingly roomy and homey. The beds are very comfortable, as are the linens. The kitchen is well-stocked and the layout is fantastic - we are a family of 5 and had plenty of space to stretch out - there are great light-proof shades in the bedrooms and the bedroom hall area seems very sound-proof from the rest of the house so the kids slept great. This is a true old well-built beauty of a home - high ceilings, gorgeous windows. We were there the last week of July and first week of August and the temperature in the house was always pleasant.

The hot tub and patio area is well-fenced so kids can't escape and Paul keeps the hot tub very clean. The garden has a variety of veggies and fruits that Paul is very generous with! He also lent us 2 well-maintained bicycles and a lock which we used all over town.

The location is even better than you can imagine - right next to downtown Saratoga with all of its restaurants and shops and events. There's a great park and playground on a creek a five minute walk away and Big Basin State Park is only 20 minutes up the hills. Beautiful neighborhood to walk and run and bike in as well.

Paul was such a gracious host - he was available and friendly and kind but extremely considerate of our needs as well. We highly recommend this home!
