The apartment is large and is in a good location in downtown Palo Alto, within walking distance of University st. and Stanford. The place was not clean — the kitchen was dirty, some of the dishes were very old and scratched, and there were cobwebs in a few places. The shower did not drain well because it was clogged. When we contacted Kathy about the shower she suggested making sure the drain cover was fully open (which it was) and did not resolve the issue. As mentioned in another review, the walls are very thin and the neighbors tend to be loud enough that this is a problem. The cleanliness and other issues were such that we decided to leave a day early.
