********************
Renovated one bedroom backyard cottage perched above the bank of a year round creek - centrally located in Los Altos between Mountain View and Palo Alto between Foothill Expwy and 280.

Cottage is fully furnished for temporary housing while you are relocating, on extended vacation, or working temporarily in Silicon Valley.

The cottage is surrounded by private decks overlooking the creek and wooded setting, and includes outdoor dining furniture and propane grill. Feels worlds away, yet walking distance to shops and food. Work in nature using the wifi with your laptop while you sip your coffee at the outdoor dining table overlooking the creek. Or come home from a day at the office, and relax in nature with a nice glass of wine. Sightsee all day and return home to your own little quiet, private retreat with all the comforts of home.

Stayed 3 weeks to relocate to the area and find a more permanent home. The cottage had no shortage of amenities and was comfortable for our longer stay where we were able to take advantage of a full kitchen. Stacey was very responsive as our host. Highly recommend

Stacey is a wonderful host stayed in this cottage for three months while travel nursing in Santa Clara. Would highly recommend it there is a lovely creek with your own chairs and table.

This cottage is in a fabulous location with complete quiet and serenity. Stacey is a communicative and accessible host, and ready to help. I stayed here for three months, and loved it.

When I first arrived at Stacey's place I missed the driveway, a mistake I am sure to never make again after such an unforgettable stay. Nestled deep in the quiet community of Los Altos is a peaceful single bedroom paradise that is perfect for the person who wants to get away from it all, but isn't too keen on being in the middle of nowhere. Sitting directly behind a los altos home you can forget about the outside world while sitting on the elevated porch watching the deer walk through the dry creek below. The space is utilitarian, with a full kitchen has that everything you need if you want to cook, and a small desk for working/writing. The hosts are very attentive to your cleanliness/privacy needs, and even bought new masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes for those who are covid-minded. Would definitely stay again.

I ended up not staying here. Did not feel comfortable. The small cute-as-a-button little cottage in the backyard looked just like the pictures. Unfortunately, the surrounding outside area did not show on the listing OR did not look like the pictures on the listing. The car port packed and cluttered and the entrance to the backyard cottage was also not clean. No parking on the street meaning you had to park under the cluttered car port. I've rented from VRBO many times, usually cabins in the mountains so I didn't expect a place to look this way.
