The city of Los Altos is very nice, unfortunately it is overrun by self entitled, new money, techies that truly believe they are the only people that matter. It used to be okay, but now there are way too many people, especially people like that.

3/5 - Okay

Lovely area if you have money to spend and want to relax, otherwise it's pricey and kind of out of the way.
