The house is a perfect spot to set up a home base for your stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware so you don't have to eat out all the time. There is a dishwasher, toaster, refrigerator, a very nice gas stove/oven, and washer/dryer unit. The fruit trees produced excellent nectarines and pears and apples to eat right off the tree.
It is a short 10-15 minute drive to downtown Palo Alto that has a lot of restaurants, shopping. There is a CalTrain stop in Palo Alto that you could be in San Fransisco or San Jose in less than an hour if you wanted to do a day trip and not worry about driving a car in traffic. Randy's place is central to Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple. There is a Target, Starbucks, and TOGO's sub shop that is less than 5 minutes away from the house.
I would stay at Randy's place again if we are to return to the Stanford/Palo Alto area.
