Catherine is a wonderful host, helpful and a great person to spend time with. Her two dogs are super friendly and quiet. My experience as a guest was super positive. Would definitely recommend.
The room is spacious, warm and well supplied. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly, it’s close to Palo Alto downtown (10 min by bike) and it had several small supermarkets around (less than 5 min walking). I biked to Stanford every day for 25 minutes. It can get cold in winter, but the ride was pleasant.
