Marlene's place was a nice little staycation for us in the Monte Sereno/Los Gatos area. The inside space is large, clean, and well laid out. The backyard was a great space to hang out with lounge chairs and umbrellas, a nice pool, and a table and chairs to enjoy morning coffee or dinner. It is walkable to trails and town (~1 mile). Marlene was a great host, extremely responsive and friendly. Extra perks were her two very friendly dogs (If you aren't a dog lover, she has no problem keeping them away). Would definitely stay here again!
