This cottage is perfect for someone on business travel, sabbatical, internship, or parents nesting back and forth to another home.

********************
Renovated one bedroom backyard cottage perched above the bank of a year round creek - centrally located in Los Altos between Mountain View and Palo Alto between Foothill Expwy and 280.

Cottage is fully furnished for temporary housing while you are relocating, on extended vacation, or working temporarily in Silicon Valley.

The cottage is surrounded by private decks overlooking the creek and wooded setting, and includes outdoor dining furniture and propane grill. Feels worlds away, yet walking distance to shops and food. Work in nature using the wifi with your laptop while you sip your coffee at the outdoor dining table overlooking the creek. Or come home from a day at the office, and relax in nature with a nice glass of wine. Sightsee all day and return home to your own little quiet, private retreat with all the comforts of home.

Amenities: LCD TVs in living room and bedroom, and WIFI. Bring your own streaming accounts. Note: no cable tv service provided. We also provide an HDMI-to-HDMI cable if you wish to play anything from your laptop or internet onto the flat screen TV.

Gourmet kitchen with new stainless fridge with filtered water, new gas stove, granite counters, new cabinetry, gel chef's floor mat, 3 kinds of coffee makers, and all the cookware and gadgets you could ever need. Also close to pizza and other delivery/takeout if you don't want to cook. Have your own full size, front loading washer with dryer too.

Furnished as shown in the photos. The bedroom has a firm-with-pillowtop Simmons Beautyrest mattress with linens and towels provided. It is a cozy and extremely functional 350 SF with every inch utilized. Also includes desk, dining table, and two dining chairs.

Located close to Foothill Expwy, 280, 85, very convenient to commutes or cycling. It's a straight shot up Shoreline to 101 or you can take Foothill Expwy directly to Stanford and research parks.

Longer term rental possible (months).

Includes 1 dedicated carport parking space for renter.
