A Beautiful Neighborhood Close to Stanford
This charming home is located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood. We felt very safe and secure. We easily traveled from the house to Stanford via Lyft daily. There is a great grocery store that serves delicious Middle Eastern food and restaurants within walking distance. There is also a lovely library that is close by. There was plenty of space for our family of four. We were quite comfortable. Figuring out how to run hot water from the bathroom sink took some time and the low pressure took some getting use to, but we eventually worked it out. We would recommend this house to friends and family looking for a home that is close to Stanford.

Great location
We had everything we needed in this cute older home right near campus. We cooked often and appreciated the spices and cookware available. Lots of windows so the house cooled down quickly at night. Neighborhood is super quiet despite being close to many things. We walked to California Ave restaurants and rode bikes to campus. Thanks for sharing your home.

This is a cute well kept older home. The bathroom was clean and had good water pressure. The water took awhile to heat up but stayed hot long enough for 2 people to shower. The kitchen has full size appliances in good shape.

The location was ideal. It was so fun to walk the neighborhood and see all the different quirky and lovely homes. The house took me back to my Palo Alto childhood in the 50's complete with built-in ironing board! The host was very responsive and helpful.

Totally fine house
The location is excellent -- nice neighborhood, can walk to all the restaurants on California Street and also over to Stanford campus. It's an old house so do be aware that the water takes a while to get warm, the cupboards are clunky, there is no dishwasher, and no central heating. (Heating is not an issue for most months of the year, just December and January.) Furniture is comfortable and the whole house is bright, clean, and very well maintained. TV and wifi access is perfect. Owners are super friendly, easy to reach, and accommodating. A very good option for the Palo Alto area.

Great communications, nice neighborhood
My husband, two adult daughters and one daughter's significant other stayed at this home. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. The house is small but very tidy and well kept -- fresh sheets and towels greeted us, along with a queen-sized bed in each of the three bedrooms. We appreciated little amenities like some games for the family to play and a selection of herbal teas in the cupboard. We needed to contact the property manager in advance about a couple of details, and Dani always replied quickly and courteously. We would stay here again in the future!
