Tom
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.

Beautiful garden

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.

Great location

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.

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!

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).

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+.

Luxury, Peaceful and Conveniently Located

Los Altos Hills is beautiful and close to Stanford, shopping and hiking trails. Joanna’s home sits in a flower wonderland and her home is clean and comfortable. We were in town meeting our first grandson and her home suited us perfectly. We had the pleasure of meeting Joanna and Mike and they are most gracious hosts.

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.

Amazing!!

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 💓
