Margaret picked me up at the airport and helped me with the problem of delayed luggage . Then she drove me to the house, on the way she explained about the city and stopped by the Stanford, where I was going to study at. She took me to a local farmer's market, where I could get a nice pastry from a local bakery.
The house was full of colors and fresh air from outside. There was only one Chihuahua in the house, and what I didn't expect was that her son lives in the backyard, and when there is any problem with the backyard room, he uses my (guest's) bathroom, which was disappointing, because the notion only mentioned that there were Margaret and two dogs. I was explained that there were two bathrooms, one is for the host and the other is for the guest. So I expected to have a safe and private bathroom.
As it's not comfortable for me to share a bathroom with gentlemen/boys, I moved to a hotel. She refunded the fee for the rest of the stay. If you expect a house only with a kind elderly lady, this is not the one you're seeking for, but if you want a local house with a mother and her son and a dog, this house would be the best place in Palo Alto.
