The cottage was lovely, private, extremely clean and well maintained and exactly as pictured and described. The garden setting was very peaceful. The location was excellent and close to the Castro St. area of fine dining and shopping while still maintaining a suburban feel. The hosts were very gracious. Overall this is a great place to stay and fulfilled my needs perfectly. I would, without hesitation, recommend David and Carrielynn's cottage as a terrific place to stay in Mountain View.
