Highly recommend Valentin's place. It was very peaceful and a great alternative to the hotels in the Palo Alto area. The neighborhood is lovely and the cottage is very private. In the winter there is a nice view of the hills. The yard is sunny and has a sitting area. Inside, it's one big room with a sleeping area, living room area, and a small desk. There is no dining area. The kitchen has a small fridge and microwave (no cooktop). There is a Nespresso machine & drip coffee maker (coffee filters provided). There's a toaster and kettle. It's all very functional for a short stay. The bathroom is very nice with a big shower and good water pressure. A surprise feature was the Japanese toilet seat with heating and all the fancy features. The bed was comfortable and the mattress was memory foam. The TV had a guest Netflix account as well as Hulu and a Roku (I didn't get Roku working). The Safeway/CVS/SBUX is a pretty 20 min walk away. I'll be back!
