This was my second stay at Shelly's place - it has become my go-to residence in Palo Alto. Its cute, cozy, and has everything you need! I especially appreciate the pillow-topped beds, Nespresso maker, and Smart TV. I love that she always leaves a few beers in the fridge and snacks on the counter for those late-night, jet-lagged arrivals. The location is super close to Stanford and walking distance to both Cal Ave and downtown Palo Alto. Most importantly, Peets and T&C is only a few minutes away! This was my first time bringing my dogs with me, and I really appreciated being able to have them with me, and it's only a short walk to a great off-leash dog area at Peers Park. Great cottage - we will be back!
