We booked this lovely gem for the 4th of July weekend. Magda and Claes were the perfect hosts. They treated the four of us like we were part of their family. Much to our surprise we were invited to a special evening with an acoustical concert by More Fatter. We had a lovely evening and enjoyed the treat of live music, meeting the locals, and enjoying the view from the top floor deck of their gorgeous home.
The in-law suite was the perfect size for two couples. It was nicely laid out and very clean. We appreciated having our own bedrooms and bathrooms. There was plenty of closet space and organizers. I appreciated the throw blankets. The pillows and bed were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook a few meals. We appreciated our hosts bringing us Starbucks coffee. The air conditioning was a nice feature. The real treat was both bedrooms faced the area where the horses were kept. Magda even offered to let us visit the horses.
The location is in a secluded cul-de-sac and is rich with flora and fauna. Even though the in-law was connected to the main house we had seclusion and beautiful surroundings. We had the use of an outdoor patio with comfortable chairs and an umbrella. My husband especially enjoyed the BBQ and was able to cook up some great snacks. It was the perfect setting for enjoying a bottle of wine and hanging out with friends. The local dog ‘Bear’ paid us a visit a couple of mornings. There was a big screen tv, a couch and two love seat chairs. The decor was beautiful.
Check in was super easy. We were given very detailed directions so we could not get lost. Magda offered early drop off for our luggage. She was very quick to communicate with me in the chat. She was helpful in suggesting wineries and dinner places. The location is secluded so be sure to allow sufficient time to travel to your destinations. There are many winding roads in the area in general. We were so close to downtown Los Gatos and so many wineries. Having such a wonderful home base was a perfect way to enjoy the surrounding area.
This was my first Airbnb experience. I am not sure I would want to stay in a hotel again. I would love to come back again and highly recommend Magda and her in-law suite as she was truly a phenomenal host.
