Bob's cottage was perfect for my needs. Prior to my arrival, Bob sent me a map to the cottage, which turned out to be quite important to finding the place at night. Bob put a welcoming note on the door so that I would be sure I was in the right place. The cottage is cozy and quiet, in a very residential area (although there is a small supermarket just 1.5 short blocks away). Although it's in Menlo Park, it's a 5-minute drive to the heart of Palo Alto. The place had everything I needed and is just the right size for a single traveler. I was somewhat apprehensive about sleeping on a sofa futon, but it turned out to be very comfortable. Bob was easy to communicate with overall. I would definitely like to stay here again.
