My parents stayed in Cheruvalath's home for their extended stay in California. Our host is a wonderful person: good-hearted, kind, generous and very easy to communicate with. The place is wonderfully located, within minutes of shopping, grocery stores, a trail and Campbell's cute downtown. Easy access to two major freeways, but not so close that one could hear the noise from the traffic. It is compact but has all the essentials. The heating system is old fashioned and brings some dust in, but we found it could be closed and a portable heater (made available by the host) was more than adequate to keep the space warm. It is also very private and with direct access to a wonderful yard.
