Had a nice stay @ Nik's. The front & back yard was very handy for my pup to run around in and was gated off for extra privacy. My car didn't fit in the driveway so had to park it outside and the neighborhood is definitely a bit more grungy than expected and had actually saw a person or two look inside our cars... Not the best walking area either, so would warn others of that as I don't really know Palo Alto so I wasn't aware. Otherwise had a good stay, the bed's were fine but would bring extra towels, linen and showering accessories as they had limited. Didn't cook, so didn't use the kitchen utensils but they had cleaning supplies, extra ziplocs, etc. that were handy.
