I wanted to wait a few days until I had the opportunity to write an appropriate review for this house. It is everything depicted and more.
I'm not sure that any house has captivated me as this one has. From the time you open the front door the house absolutely welcomes you and provides for all of your needs. From the ease of the walking distance to shops, restaurants and grocery stores to the amenities found within, there is nothing else you could possibly want.
The house is an older home that has been brought up to very modern standards, however her original charm was not lost in the slightest. The high ceilings and beautifully appointed spaces give an airy and relaxing environment. Every space is brilliantly efficient irrespective of your needs during your stay.
The fully appointed kitchen would meet the needs of every type of client. The coffee situation for example has a Nespresso machine, 12-cup coffee maker as well as a french press. We dined out, and dined in.
There are books, games, and most importantly the most peaceful and private backyard for relaxing, or scavenging for cooking ingredients. There is a lemon, peach and apple tree, as well as a raised bed with tomatoes and herbs.
The only sadness I have is that the house is already booked for when our next stay in Palo Alto is scheduled. I don't believe I have ever stayed in such a beautiful home before and I don't know that I will again. If you are on the fence, it is worth every penny to stay here. You will certainly not regret it!
