About this house rental

2 bedroom, 1 bath, 700 sq ft (65 sq meters).
Front bedroom has a Single over Queen bunk bed and a small walk-in closet.
Back bedroom has a Queen bunk bed with a Single pull-out trundle (so 2 physical beds). Room is tight with Single trundle pulled out.
A total of 4 beds (2 Queens and 2 Singles).
Living Room has a small flat screen TV.

There is wireless internet access and Sports/Movies cable TV.

The private backyard is large enough for outdoor dining. Depending on the time of year, you can help yourself to fresh oranges or loquots, from our fruit trees.

Our home is a short 3 block walk to downtown Mountain View's Castro St with hundreds of restaurants of every nationality. We're also a short walk to the Steven's Creek Trail, as well as CalTrain (a Baby Bullet train stop to San Francisco and San Jose) and Light Rail. Close to highways CA85, US-101, CA237 and I-280 (although you can't see or hear any of them). Close to Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, and many other high-tech companies. Less than 6 miles to Stanford University and Stanford Hospital and less than 2 miles to El Camino Hospital.

Although close to so many things, this home is still on a very quite residential street. We know because we live right next door to this listing. If you're doing anything that may create excessive noise or any problems for the neighbors, then we're confident this is not the listing for you. Thanks for understanding.

If you have any issues with check-in and check-out times or any special requests for your arrival, please just let us know. Some friends from the East Coast cannot start a day without Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Not just any coffee, it has to be their brand. Caf or Decaf? Soy milk or Half-n-half? If you have a request, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

We look forward to hearing from you, and we hope you'll decide right now to at least reach out to us with an inquiry.

With the summer demand in downtown Mountain View, we usually rent this home to one Guest for the full 3 months of Jun/Jul/Aug. So PLEASE do not make a reservation request for that period for any shorter than 2 months. You can feel free to send us an inquiry and we can update you, but PLEASE do not send an actual reservation.

Great experience all around. The hosts were accommodating and easy to communicate with. The home was very cute and clean. The home is perfectly located just a short walk to Castro Street and Caltrain. The only comment I have is that the bed is really firm. This wasn't an issue for me (I loved it), but was a bit of a challenge for my husband.

We were in an extremely convenient location that permitted us to really enjoy Mountain View and the surrounding areas. The home has everything you need. Mountain View, like this beautiful home, is very clean and has a very cool vibe. But what really made our stay so enjoyable were our hosts, Mike and Anne. We have traveled throughout the country and in numerous locations around the world. Hands-down, Mike & Anne are the best hosts we’ve ever had. They are so accommodating and were truly interested in making sure that our trip was a success. We are grateful beyond measure. Thank you! Riley and Mary Allen

We spent one night but had an amazing time. The kids played board games and enjoyed the white board as well. Had a chance to unplug and recharge our batteries. We walked to Castro St, full of amazing restaurants and sweets for everyone! Home was clean and charming.
