This was the most amazing place we have ever stayed. From the minute you walk in you are transfixed by the amazing indoor sculptures, all the perfect toning colors in the kitchen and other rooms. The 'white bed room' was extremely comfortable and bright. It was lovely to see light coming through the porthole in the front door in the morning. It was certainly convenient to have the washer and dryer in the large mirrored wardrobe. We had friends staying in the 'Zen Den', (called this because it had a large zen den neon sign over the door which could be illuminated), and they also reported that their bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and had a restaurant style cooker which was amazing once you got used to the power of it. I baked many scones and loaves of bread in the oven. A large Buddha can be lit up in the area outside the walk-in shower where you are accompanied by an Indian ceremonial Ganesha and Shivas. Throughout the apartment there are different crosses created out of tap ends, keys and credit cards the list of fascinating artifacts is endless. We loved all the rooms. Our private courtyard was very spacious and a sun trap but I think the shared garden was an unexpected highlight. You could wander in and out of paths seeing different sculptures from dragons to angels and pick lemons, herbs, grapefruit, oranges, chard, the choice was endless. There is also an amazing greenhouse with wifi which has a beautiful wall of succulents where you can have afternoon tea with friends.
We loved every minute of our visit and will certainly recommend Todd's hospitality and home to anyone visiting Palo Alto and hope to return in the future. If people like to walk the Bayland's are close by where you can see spend hours bird-watching. What more can I say except visit if you can! Todd responded to every question and need immediately. Enjoy
