This beautiful apartment is tucked away in the trees, looking down on lovely gardens, so you almost forget you're in the middle of Palo Alto. You absolutely need a car; there's nothing to eat or buy within an easy walk, but parking is safe and convenient. I was concerned at first about noise from the road as it's near a major thoroughfare, but we had the windows open and heard more birds than trucks at night, and the landscaping blocks the noise.
Everything worked well, the kitchen is well-equipped, there were lots of food staples to use, lots of linens, and the beds were quite comfortable. The pull-out king size isn't awesome as one side is against the wall, so we felt the place was perfect for 2 or 3 people but for 4, one needs to be athletic enough to climb into bed from the foot. We'd rent there again if we're back in the area!
