About the host
Hosted by Lanlan
I enjoy to see my guests walking around in the yard with a cup of coffee in the morning. Traveling around the world for many years myself, I do appreciate while I am traveling, the place gives me a sense of home, so I would like to offer that to my guests as well.
Why they chose this property
Moments away from Steve jobs’ old residence, short and pleasent walk to cafe, restaurants and groceries. It’s a gorgeous neighborhood, quiet and elegant, very safe and refreshing to jog around!
What makes this property unique
It's quiet during the night, you could enjoy your restful evening without any interrupt. Friendly house cats enjoy the backyard a lot, please feel free to pet them ( star and snow). Host stays in the main house, if you need assistance, I am one text away.
