This is an extremely easy house to live in. The neighborhood is close to shops and restaurants--yet in a very quiet part of the town. We were five adults and there was plenty of room for us. Because John and Beth live in the house there is everything you might need, e.g. in the kitchen, for your stay. Somehow, all of the closets are empty and ready for your clothing. The yard is large and charming--and in warmer months undoubtedly a delightful place to sit and watch the birds flitting about the feeders. In the cooler months, there is a charming and efficient fireplace in the family room to add to holiday cheer. The hosts have been everywhere and their professional quality photographs are on the walls as are family pictures that make you feel as if you're growing with them. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and very responsive. There were delightful and thoughtful touches like Peet's coffee. I don't want to commit them to spoiling you, but don't be surprised if they do. If you are looking for a quiet home, in a quiet neighborhood to get some writing or planning done, there couldn't be a better place. If you need a place close to SF and/or the east Bay, this is ideal. But, this is not a place to just park your bags and leave empty all day...it's a place you can call home for the period you are there. P.S. Is there another home on VRBO with the Russell-Einstein Manifesto framed in the bathroom?
