    "This is the perfect location. Between San Francisco and San Jose. Convenient to Sunnyvale and Livermore. The advantage of access to the Dumbarton and San Mateo bridges allows selection of the least busy bridge when going North on the Peninsula. 880 or surface streets to places like Sunnyvale and Mountain View."
