Great option for a low(er) budget stay in Palo Alto. In general, I had a pleasant stay.
Pros:
- Communication with hosts was top notch. They reply really quickly to messages
- House is nice with spacious common spaces (kitchen, dining)
- New laundry equipment (washer, dryer) if you need to do laundry while there
- close to a grocery shop and to food trucks which sell home-made tamales and pupusas
Cons:
- the area is not the best. it feels a bit sketchy, especially at night. I guess that's the reason for the competitive price
- when I arrived, my room floor was not clean at all. I advised the hosts and asked when I could get it clean. They said were not able to provide a date and I could do it myself. Thankfully, I accidentally bumped into the cleaning lady one morning prior to go to work and asked her to clean it, and she did it right away.
-the house might use some little maintenance here and there
