Directions

Parking is important so please read the instructions. It is important not to park in front of any neighbor's house, on Ontare or Claremont. Our house is on the left side of the road coming up the hill, just past Claremont. It is 15 feet from the street, has a brown roof and fruit trees/a vegetable garden, bamboo and an oak tree in the front yard. The right side of the street is a no parking zone. Please drive past our house and turn around at the next intersection (Corto Camino Ontare). Please do NOT turn around in the neighbor's driveway or in the middle of the street. After turning around in the cul-de-sac, drive back down, past the neighbor' house which has a stuccoed 3.5 foot fence at the street. Park in front of our house which has a flagstone sidewalk and stone planter boxes. Or, if there is space, you can park in our driveway. If you have trouble finding parking in front of our house, please let someone know as soon as you arrive and we can rearrange cars to find you an appropriate spot.

Printable directions to our address are available here.
