It was such a pleasure coming back each evening through Marlene's charming backyard to the cottage. I felt like I had a lot of privacy, and the soaking tub is even better than in the pictures.

Marlene's house is within walking distance to the California Avenue CalTrain station (close enough that I rolled my suitcase back and forth when I arrived and departed). There is a living room with TV/DVD player, small kitchenette (dorm room fridge, sink, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker) in the cottage.
