Self-contained unit next to Google headquarters.

The street was under construction so the taxi could not deliver me to the entrance - I had to lug large suitcases down the street. There were two most annoying features: it was impossible to leave the curtains open during the day without feeling intruded upon from the neighboring Google building. It is extremely close, awkwardly so. The second was the total lack of any pan in the unit for cooking, and the three pots available were such badly scratched non-stick cookware that I could not use them. Why did I not ask the property owner to provide some? There was only an emergency phone number. When you have an AirBnb or other rental unit, you always get multiple ways to reach a human being - either email, phone or text messaging. In this apartment, you were really on your own.
