This was my first Airbnb experience and I couldn't have selected a better place to stay. Maria is a wonderful host! She is very welcoming and her home is truly beautiful. The accommodations are modern, very clean, and extremely quiet. I felt like I was away at a resort spa during my four days there. The private bedroom and bath are excellent. The house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Palo Alto but within easy access of all that Silicon Valley and San Francisco has to offer.

Mari and her family have two friendly pets - Moe (the dog) and Buttons (the cat), who also are very welcoming but don't intrude in your private space.

Maria makes coffee in the morning and welcomes the opportunity for conversation (as you like). It was great to learn about her and her family while also having someone to share some time with in the morning before I headed out.

I highly recommend Maria's home if you need a place to stay in the Palo Alto area - you won't regret it!
