Los Gatos is one of the oldest communities in Santa Clara County. These days, it is a hub for tech-savvy people, since it is one of the towns in Silicon Valley and houses the headquarters of Netflix.

Experience the town’s unique charm for yourself by staying at one of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Los Gatos, California.
