Bob's cottage is exactly as it's described, basic - but perfect for my needs during a three day stay in Palo Alto. It's very clean and has everything you need. I rented a bike and peddled to/from my office about 3 miles away - a lovely, easy ride along tree lined roads. The cottage is located in a beautiful neighborhood behind Bob's home. Bob was a gracious host and made it very clear that if I needed anything to let him know.
