If you find yourself in Silicon Valley, ignore the tech bros and tour the Winchester Mystery House

I got the same impression, when I visited as a child. The house is built up as this labyrinthian architectural impossibility and you go in expecting to see an M.C. Escher-like, vast mansion. Either it’s a whole lot smaller than claimed, or only about 10% of the house is accessible during the tour. It’s still worth seeing, but a lot less than you might be hoping for.
