Helen's "little house" is very quiet, safe and private being hidden in the trees in a fenced backyard. There are a lot of features you don't expect like stone countertops, solid oak floors, and the Grohe shower. Fully equipped kitchen. The place is littered with signs of Helen's attentiveness to detail. Previous guests have also helped. We found beer, several kinds of ice cream and even some rum in the frig. Several kinds of coffee and tea. You get the idea. The place is a gem. If we need a place in Palo Alto in the future we'll stay here if it's vacant.
