We had a fantastic time! We enjoyed our stay and the home met all of our needs. The pool was fun to hang out in and the property felt secluded even though you are in the middle of town. The neighborhood was very quiet at night and there was coffee, food an ice cream available just down the street. Just what we were looking for. Thank you for hosting us!

Very nice & easy accommodations. Close to the best grocery store i have seen. Like whole foods but better. A bonus was that the house was across the street from a great public 16 pickleball courts. We played every morning. Pete’s coffee and some easy restaurants were near by.

Everything was great, nice to have everything so well stocked. My grand-nephew loved dipping the net into the pool and scooping up toys. Lemons on the tree in the front yard made excellent lemonade. Maybe it is a Meyer's Lemon? Be sure to touch the dark ring around the door lock on side door to be able to see the buttons. Mitchell Park is right across the street. We enjoyed going over there often, a nice place to walk, pickle ball, and lots of playground equipment. Kirk's Burgers are just down the street. We plan to stay here again the next time.

I had excellent communication with the host as well as the property care taker who I had to call with a plumbing issue. They were responsive and helpful every step of the way.The house had the space we needed for our extended family and enough dishes, towels, bedding, seating for our group. The outside area we didn't use because of the seasonal limitations and rainy weather.Overall, it was a comfortable and easy stay.

Perfect spot for those that want to hang out between San Jose and San Francisco

We were able to visit family and attend events up and down the Peninsula. Everything seemed to be close to this location. Took the train up to SF to enjoy a Giants game as well from Palo Alto station. Also a great part across the street for those with littles. Swimming pool was a nice treat for our kids and the house has a lot of space to spread out after the long day!

Winter Palo Alto getaway

Enjoyed our staycation in Palo Alto, visiting the Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University campus and venturing south to attractions in Santa Clara / San Jose.This home was very comfortable and the size was suitable for our family of 10 (a mix of adults and children); together to celebrate my parents' 48th wedding anniversary. Great location, with convenient Safeway, Walgreens nearby; and the Magical Bridge playground for the kiddos.
