Other reviewers said the pictures don't due the place justice and I have to agree. I stayed here a couple nights to prepare and decorate to host a baby shower for about 15 people in the house. The place's open layout, great kitchen and bar space made it perfect for hosting my event. All Silicon valley attendees were very impressed with the space and they all wanted to marvel at and tour the layout upon arrival. Before my attendees saw the place, they joked about the East Palo Alto neighborhood, which is going through a transition and contains some colorful characters. However I'm a New York City girl and felt very safe and loved being less than a 5 minute drive to stores and Starbucks. And as soon as my guests arrived, they were all floored and talked about the benefits of buying in the neighborhood. :P This space is beautiful and Aida's communication was prompt and efficient. When not decorating, I spent my mornings running along the Santa Cruz coastline and San Francisco bay or hiking through Muir. I would definitely recommend this space to anyone ho wants to be in the heart of Silicon Valley.
