Villagio in Cupertino

We visited the Villagio complex recently in Cupertino. Information about the units can be found here:

The model we saw was very nice. It was 2 stories of living space, with a garage on an additional bottom floor by itself. The garage is a truly a "garage in a garage," as there are many units in the complex that share a common garage and the garage door for the model was literally in the garage. Lots of protection, I guess.

So, the unit had a great layout, but something I noticed is that it lacked light, especially on the first floor where there was just one window. Also, unlike other townhouses I've seen, this townhouse had units on both sides and two levels of units above it which is less nice than the ones that share fewer walls.

The biggest draw of this place was the location. Right in the heart of Cupertino by Apple and other great companies. The neighborhood was fantastic.

The sales people at Villagio left a lot to be desired. They were not very motivated to show the model units (they sent us over to the model that was locked without coming with us) and there was some rudeness when we tried to discuss different pricing options. But, you can't judge a place you are going to live on the sales agents they send to sell them. Or can you? :)
