I have spent 6 weeks at Jim's place, and my stay has been awesome at all levels. The house and the room are exactly as described, and the communication with the host was excellent, with very detailed instructions. The position is optimal, since it's within 10 minutes walking distance from downtown Mountain View and Caltrain station, and not far from a large shopping area towards San Antonio. There is also a bus stop right next to the house, and a grocery store in front of it. The service Jim and his staff provide in the house is impeccable. My room was quiet, despite being next to the kitchen. In summary, Jim's house is a fantastic place to stay, and I look forward to spending some time there again.
