Five-star experience! The studio comes as advertised. Super convenient to Stanford, downtown Palo Alto, and the freeway to go down to SJ and up to SF. Great trails/hikes are close by.
The studio itself is very welcoming with a great backyard, perfect for enjoying a book or just some peace and quiet; my wife was receiving medical treatment at Stanford and this was her happy place in the afternoons. Easily accessible and apart enough from the house that you have complete privacy. Thoughtful details abound inside, from the bowl of chocolate truffles and cookies in the kitchen when we arrived to snacks in the pantry to allergy/cold medicine in the bathroom. The studio also has plates, cups/glasses, utensils, even an electric kettle to heat up water for tea. Bed is super comfortable. Check-in was easy, Val is very communicative. Val also let us bring our dogs, which we appreciated very much. The neighborhood was great for walking them, though super hilly (good exercise!) and not much grass around. There is also a big park at the bottom of the street.
Fantastic place with great energy! Hope to return one day.
