Guest Book:
Date: 01/01/06 Ed Berkowitz, Portola Valley, CA Amy, your rental was outstanding. We traveled with four adults and two 2.5 yr-olds and everyone was very comfortable. Specific items we appreciated were: - house location that was close to everything (we were able to get gringo food and local food at the Wal-Mart in PV) but still very private and quiet (we were not looking to share our vacation with 1000 strangers); - a really good bed in the master suite (others may also have been good but I only slept on one bed); - a complete kitchen with small touches like an ice shaver (good for snow cones for the kids and margaritas for the adults); - a car in great condition that held us all (including child car seats), including clothes for 8 days; - a BBQ that made eating in a breeze; - a complete book of things to do, places to eat/shop, contact numbers just in case of emergency, ... - resource down there (property manager) to help with the little things.
