Cathie's cottage is a quiet little gem in a beautiful neighborhood in Palo Alto. The main room has a nice sitting area and well-stocked kitchen, and the bedroom is large, comfortable and quiet. I was there for business and we actually filmed an interview in the space, which is decorated tastefully. Shops and restaurants are a quick drive away (maybe I could have walked but my stay was short so I didn't get to explore much) and the neighborhood itself is very peaceful. Cathie and her son David were extremely helpful during booking and arrival. They are great hosts and I would recommend the cottage to anyone coming to Palo alto and wanting a serene place to call home for a few days.
