My roommate and I were attending a month-long research program at Stanford and had the absolute pleasure/fortune to stay at Todd's amazing home.
The commute to campus and to downtown Palo Alto (groceries, plenty of restaurants, bars etc) is quick and easy: ~4mi...about 20min by car or bike...$8 Lyft. The local neighborhood has a small grocery store which is a 5min walk away and that comes in handy. (*like Caribbean food? definitely check out BackAYard nearby!)

The decor of the home is true to the pictures and Todd's attention to detail in the styling is quite impressive. There are plenty of nooks to explore (both inside and out in the large garden) which made it feel like I was constantly discovering new layers to the property. The kitchen is optimally stocked with everything you would need and the overall home quickly feels homey. As an extra bonus, there are tons of fruit trees in the back with tasty fruit and vegetables, which Todd encouraged us to pick and eat.
Overall, it was an excellent stay. Todd is a great and responsive host that will give you as much space as you need. I'm thankful for the having had the rare opportunity to enjoy this Airbnb for a whole month and would do it again without a doubt.
