Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Quiet stay; no road noise to bother us. Dining table was small, but we managed just fine. Kitchen was small but did the job. Modernized quarters in every way. Owner was helpful and answered all our requests. Cozy but pleasant and we enjoyed our 9-night stay.

Outstanding experience. This is the second time I’ve stayed here and it was as fantastic as the first. Great location. Clean and well represented by the pictures. Easy to drive to and from Stanford campus (we were here for a sports camp). Having a washer/dryer is a huge plus. I couldn’t ask for more. Communication was excellent. I will stay here again anytime I am back in Palo Alto!

Spotless ADU on beautiful property in lovely Palo Alto. Landlord was responsive. Neighborhood is great but a long walk to Stanford. A light outside the property would be useful. Would recommend this property for one person or a couple.

Good studio in Palo Alto

The studio was nice and worked well for me overall. It was clean and functional. It is walkable to downtown Palo Alto but far and really too far to reasonably walk to Stanford. It would be best to stay here if you have a car or are willing to Uber a lot. The other minor complaint is that there were no coffee pods for the coffee machine, and it is a type of machine that you cannot buy pods for easily in a store. So there was a nice coffee machine that just sat there useless. I would have contacted the host to see if they had any, but I could not figure out how to contact them through Vrbo.

Clean cozy studio/ADU near downtown North Palo Alto

Needed short rental due to house fumigation. This was close to our home and provided what we needed for 3 days. Host was amenable to a couple of not usual requests. Parking area turn around is tight. Better to back in from street. Overall great for 2 people

The Place was great and perfect!

Yes, we had a wonderful stay. The place was awesome, so near to Stanford University where our son is staying/studying & whom we were visiting, the area is very residential and quiet but very near to shops and dining places. Communication with the owner was great and whole process was seamless. We hope to avail of their services again in one of our future visits to Stanford. We won’t look for another place to stay. This place was so great & perfect for us.
