Jay and Ridhi's house truly became our "home away from home" these last 3 weeks. Its situated in a quiet , very safe neighborhood -- so much so that we never even felt the need to lock our front door. The house easily accommodates 4 and has an extra queen size mattress, a roll out twin mattress and a very comfortable couch to fit even more people. The home comes with everything you could possibly need -- plenty of excellent quality towels and bed linen, a well equipped kitchen that has virtually every small appliance you can think of, toiletries in the bathrooms, laundry supplies .... We just came with our suitcases and settled right in.
Jay and Ridhi make a great team! They are both extremely warm people who made us feel totally at home. They were quick to respond with any help or information we needed. The day after we moved in , I noticed that the dishwasher was leaking a little -- 2 days later Jay fit in a brand new dishwasher in the home!
We were in the Bay Area to visit our son who is doing an internship in Palo Alto. He ran into some issues with his move-in date for on campus housing and ended up needing a place to stay for a week. While he was not on our initial booking with Jay and Ridhi , they welcomed him to stay in the home with absolutely no fuss. It goes to show just how warm and accommodating they are.
Jay and Ridhi welcomed us with some cut fruit the day we checked in and provided us a complementary first breakfast with very generous portions on our first day .... It was such a lovely touch. Another weekend Jay went out and got some delicious warm donuts and coffee for us ... Ridhi kept surprising us with wonderful Indian treats from time to time..... They truly felt like family in the 3 weeks we were at their home.
The most amazing gesture from Jay that really helped us out in our logistically challenging summer : we needed a place to leave our rental car for 5 days after checking out from the house. Jay, very graciously offered that we could leave the car in his car port! Absolutely no fuss or issues -- just a"There's no problem, you can leave it here." We are so grateful to Jay for his help and kindness.
This has become a really long review but I honestly can't say enough good things about Jay and Ridhi and their home. We've loved our time with them and hope to stay with them again next summer when we return to the area for our son's graduation.
Thanks for everything Jay and Ridhi!
