Stayed in Cottage A for a few months while finishing school. Chris was immediately welcoming and communicative from the get go. The property is in a sweet spot, very quiet and just a stroll away from downtown LG. Close to VTA bus stops and the 17. Overall, had a great time! Thanks Chris & family!!
My husband and I stayed for a month to support the birth of our granddaughter locally. We loved the privacy of the cottage, the comfortable king size bed and all the amenities it had to offer. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful to take walks.
The kitchen is small as pictured. You could cook, but we limited our cooking to breakfast and had dinners at our daughters home. A lot of rentals in this price bracket only have a coffee maker and hot plate.
Chris was quick to respond and very accomodating.
We would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful stay! Chris (the host) is a great communicator and he had done a great job of making sure everything one might need is provided. The towels and linens are great, the bed is comfy and there's plenty of room. He even has a small desk space and a multiple charger station. The kitchen is well equipped (even a small oven) and even though we did not use the grill or second refrigerator it was nice to have them available on his patio. The parking is right at the door and very secure. I have already told others about this unit because it's the nicest one we've stayed in while visiting family in Los Gatos. It's a very short drive and about a mile to mile and 1/2 walk (depending on the route you take) into the downtown area with sidewalks all along the way. Do not hesitate to consider this cottage for your Los Gatos stay. The photos and description on line are very accurate. I think you will be very happy with your decision.

Quiet and Comfortable
This was a good place for us, because I came for a surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital. It is a ten minute drive to the hospital and near the downtown for groceries or restaurants. The king sized bed was comfortable, as was the couch. We appreciated the welcome and thoughtful gift of fruit when we arrived at midnight! The kitchenette was nicely stocked with spices and condiments. The bathroom could use an upgrade in the near future.

Cozy cottage and a great location
We stayed here for a month and enjoyed our stay. The cottage is compact but certainly has everything you need and the area is so nice; it's a very quiet location and is walkable to downtown, trails, etc. We were welcomed with a bowl of fruit plus some delicious banana loaf and the couple of minor problems/questions we had were promptly attended to. We would definitely recommend this place to one person or a couple.

Just right
I would definitely recommend this to family and friends who are looking for some of the amenities (laundry, kitchenette, etc) of home but easily accessible by car to the Bay area and beyond and for walking into charming Los Gatos with its restaurants and trails. This is a very accessible, comfortable place to return to and Chris was very attentive to 1-2 needs while there.

Quiet
This was a lovely place to stay. The small cottage is perfect for one person or a couple. It's quiet and private on a side street near a main artery of Los Gatos. It is within walking distance of downtown. Chris has been very thoughtful in his furnishings and amenities. I will definitely be back!
