This place is incredible! It's close to Stanford, in a very quiet, high-end residential neighborhood with absolutely no traffic. The guest suite is separate from the hosts' house, in back of their detached garage and is very private with it's own sliding door opening to it's own little grass yard surrounded by stone walls, walkways and huge trees. If you're looking for a new, clean, tastefully decorated, peacefully oasis near Stanford and Palo Alto this is your place. Please choose this property...YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
I was tasked at the last minute to find a place to stay in Palo Alto. My daughter and I were visiting Stanford to attend the football game against Oregon and visit friends. I was disappointed with the hotel options in Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Redwood City. It seemed like you either had to pay ridiculous prices to stay in luxury hotels or take a big risk on the cheaper (but still very high) priced motels along El Camino Real, all of which had very mixed or poor reviews. I often travel for my work and I've learned the hard way to be very careful where I stay. So after several frustrating days searching for a hotel I decided to try AirBnb for the first time. There were several places in the area renting rooms or condos or whole houses, but none of them fit our needs. Then I found Val and Galina's place and fell in love with it. The pictures of the place were beautiful but being there was even better. Everything is new, extremely well kept, clean and quiet. There's a nice kitchenette with mini-fridge and microwave. The bathroom is beautiful with a glass walled shower and a pebble-tiled floor. I want one of these shower floors! During downtimes between trips to campus and local restaurants my daughter and I enjoyed the nice tv with netflix. We had a great time watching old episodes of the office. There's also great wifi and a little computer work desk and chair, which I used to check emails and do some occasional work. We stayed 4 nights and I didn't want to leave. Val and Galina were great hosts with impeccable taste. I'm already looking for a reason to return to Palo Alto just so I can stay here again.
