Marlene's pool cottage was perfect and interacting with Marlene was very positive and helpful. She is super prompt, friendly and detailed in her communications. We stayed for a week while our house was on the market in Almaden Valley and the cottage was a peaceful respite for us during a busy week. We made full use of the coffee pot, hot water kettle, microwave and fridge. The setting of the cottage, behind the garden and pool, is lovely as well.
Surprise bonus was the wonderful walks to and from downtown Los Gatos through some beautiful neighborhoods (between downtown LG and Monte Sereno) that I had never seen before, despite spending so much time in Los Gatos over the years. Exploring these neighborhoods was one of the best parts of our stay!
