Convenient & Clean
This home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space was not to inviting but I do believe the owners are working on improving the grounds. Overall we were very comfortable, slept great in their cozy beds and felt very safe in the home.

Beautiful kitchen, the rest of house shows its age.
Had a great time cooking and eating because of the chefs style kitchen. The home is older but has been updated to be very comfortable. All bedrooms are upstairs with their own air conditioning. Plenty of restrooms and the walk-in shower is great. The restroom downstairs is handy when using that part of the house. The neighborhood is acceptable but noisy at night. The street in front of the house is fast. The location is close to shopping and Stanford Hospital.

Spacious place, close to Stanford
The house was very roomy inside. The living room and kitchen were very accommodating for the family. Each of the rooms were adequate for the short stay. They were all outfitted with AC window units that did keep the room cool for those hot nights. Was taken back by how much the outside of the house wasn't kept, saw a lot of cobwebs on the windows that expected to be taken care of by the previous cleaning crew. The location was close to downtown Palo Alto which was convenient for shopping and restaurants.
