We were here for a week to visit family and friends, and the location of the cottage was super convenient to the area of Stanford University and downtown Palo Alto, about 5 min drive. Highly recommend for families traveling with kids. Kitchen is well equipped with essentials. Having a washer/dryer was convenient for our one week stay. The location of the cottage is in a quiet and lovely neighborhood. Will definitely be top choice when we visit the area again in the future.
