My family and I spent three weeks here and had an extremely memorable trip. Todd is an EXCELLENT host! Right from when I arrived at the property, he took great care with giving us a grand tour of the property. There are plenty of fruit & herb trees in the backyard that you are free to help yourself to. His house, artwork and emphasis on conservation of the environment will make you a better person when you are done with your stay!

As for nearby attractions; there are a couple of nearby grocery stores, a Whole Foods (10 min drive), an IKEA (3 min walk) and downtown Palo Alto is not too far either (10 min drive).

As for the location; the street & the area itself is perfectly safe but a car/vehicle would be recommended if you were planning on coming back late (past midnight).

Thanks a bunch Todd; can't wait to come back!
