Exceptional property and rare value,
especially considering the location in one of
the most coveted neighborhoods in the Bay
Area, or really, anywhere. Meticulously
clean, tasteful interior spaces, and tranquil
outdoor spaces that encourage relaxation
(the hammock was a big plus). Parking is a
snap right next to the entry. Extremely safe
location near the upscale restaurants and
shops of downtown Los Altos. Great vibe
and super communication with the owners.
During your stay at this guesthouse, you'll be close to Stanford University.

Cozy gem in a quiet upscale neighborhood
This is a beautiful, bright, cozy, outhouse home in a quiet up scale neighborhood. The apartment is bright and the high ceilings give it a very airy feel. The beds in both the well sized bedrooms were comfortable. We did not cook in the cozy kitchen, although it seemed to be adequately equipped. The bathroom was clean with a tub. There is a well equipped outdoor space in a quiet big yard. There is a TV placed on the center table in the living room with Roku, although the set-up is not ideal for family watching together. I also do not recall seeing a formal dining table although there is a nice office desk and chair in the living room near the mantel piece. The location is unique - it feels like it is miles away from the hustle bustle although the amenities and other towns are just a few miles away. One thing to note is that it is quite dark at night on the roads due to lack of streetlights. All in all, it was a lovely experience.

The apartment is a private, fully stocked, well designed unit with sky high picture windows overlooking charming garden area. Serene drive to the house under arching canopy of trees. We were in town for Stanford alumni reunion. Stayed 5 days. Enjoyed proximity to university.

This apartment was very tasteful and functional. We had plenty of room for myself, my husband, and our daughter. The gardens and patio were beautiful, with plum trees that you could eat, although it was so hot we didn’t get to spend time there. Easy walk to downtown Los Altos where we discovered a new favorite restaurant. There was a cute Fourth of July parade in downtown Los Altos and walking trails all around. Super relaxing stay! Exactly what we were craving coming back to the Bay Area!

Idyllic setting in a beautifully appointed wing of a lovely home
The cottage like wing of this home was completely private, set in a gorgeous natural wooded area of Los Altos. The 2 bedrooms were spacious with very high ceilings, arched windows and especially comfy beds. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything one could possibly need and living/dining room was a welcome refuge after a day out and about. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, it was a 10+.

We enjoyed the little cottage in a wonderful setting for walking and enjoying the countryside, yet close in to many towns in the Bay Area. The host was super easy to communicate with, and helpful. It was a lovely reunion with my friend from Texas.

Wonderful visit!
We spent 3 days in Los Altos visiting friends. The house was comfortable and very well equipped. The directions were clear and the owner quickly responded to questions. The house is a short drive from downtown Los Altos and is 20 -30 minutes from Stanford and the Baylands Wildlife Refuge (where we saw lots of shorebirds).

There are no words to describe how wonderful Joanna and Mike are! Their home is just as beautiful as them! The home is perfectly located, right in the middle of the Bay Area. They were always willing to help with all the Bay Area had to offer! We enjoyed our stay so much we didn’t want to leave. I would stay at their home again in a heartbeat!! Thank you so much for all your help and hospitality!!!!! Carrie, Steve & Kai 💓

No hot water!
The location of this stay was wonderful due to its close proximity to Stanford. We did experience an issue during our stay. No hot water! Of course we didn't notice until right before we were leaving for the day when we went to take showers. Also the water pressure is a small trickle coming out of a very small sad shower head. Maybe the owner forgot to turn on the hot water? Of course we could have addressed it with the owner but we're gone all day and evening leaving early the next morning, so we just let it go.

Great Neighborhood, Bird watching
The property was clean and had good fixtures. The house is amazing with its tall ceilings and chandeliers, the yard is better, with lots of seating possibilities and quiet except when school is in. I don't mind hearing kids play! We loved a chance to live in a neighborhood so exclusive and full of California charm.

Wonderful accommodations
The guest house was perfect for our visit to the Bay Area. It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood with easy access to quaint, downtown Los Altos. We enjoyed hiking, wine tasting & the coastal areas of Santa Cruz & Half Moon Bay while visiting our son, who lives in San Jose. The hosts were very accessible via VRBO during the booking & our stay.
