Warm, delightful cottage, with its own little pathway leading to the front door
We start the home tour in the living room, which has a comfy couch
The kitchen is fully stocked, has all the appliances you need, and has granite countertops.  There is a Nespresso machine to get you going in the mornings, and we stock the kichen with breakfast goodies.
The bedroom has a comfy queen-sized bed, and a walk-in closet -- very unusual for a cottage!  The washer and dryer are in the cottage.
The bathroom has a tub and shower

About this property

Perfect Location, No Cleaning Fees or Checkout Chores

Summary:
You couldn't get a more perfect location for this cozy, quiet, comfy, well-appointed cottage: just blocks from Mountain View's bustling downtown area centered on Castro Street, and a 5 minute walk to Caltrain and VTA. Perfect for visiting G00ogel and other local tech companies.

That's right -- no separate cleaning fees, no checkout chores! On your way out, just lock the door and have a safe trip!

Guest Access:
Guests have complete and sole access to the entire one-bedroom cottage and the side yard.

Getting Around:
The Caltrain and VTA stations are just a few minutes' walk away, from which you can get to San Jose in 20 minutes, and San Francisco in 35 to 70 minutes, depending on whether you catch a local or express train.

You're also near to major thoroughfares like El Camino Real, Shoreline, and highways 101, 85, 237, and 280 which makes this a very convenient location for all South Bay and Peninsula destinations, while San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, and Santa Cruz are only 45 minutes away, and wine country a further half hour.

These thoroughfares are far enough way from the home that there's minimal traffic noise.

While there are buses, in particular running along El Camino Real and Shoreline, this area is not known for public transit, so generally you'll need a car to get around, or you can take Uber or Lyft.

Other Things to Note:
That's right -- just like a hotel, we don't charge a separate cleaning fee or expect you to do an onerous list of check-out tasks. On your way out, just lock the door, and have a safe trip!

Interaction with Guests:
The owners live next door, and the property manager lives in the neighborhood. Please reach out to the property manager with any questions.

Great spot near Castro for 1-2 people
This is a nice little ADU, two blocks away from Castro Street, which was convenient for my stay. It was very clean and well maintained. I stayed in January, and the temperature in the house was very comfortable - I think it has radiant floor heating? The area was quiet at night during the week I was there, which helped me sleep well. Overall, I had a great stay, and I plan to book this again in the future, since I visit the area often.

Perfect, fantastic location
This place is perfect for anywhere close to Mountain View. Quiet street, a few blocks to good coffee at Red Rock Coffee on Castro, along with restaurants, etc. Hosts also provided food for breakfast, coffee - fantastic hospitality. Will look to come here whenever my journeys return me to the South Bay.

Lovely cottage! Was so pleased to have a private, clean comfortable place to stay. Nice to have a washer and dryer, great closet and dressers, nice kitchen, incredibly well stocked. Hope the price doesn’t jump up, I would like to rent it again.
