The cottage is small but great, I'd definitely recommend it if you are looking for a cheap way to stay in Palo Alto. I stayed for four nights while out in PA on a work trip and it definitely met my needs.

Giving it a 4 instead of a 5 for a few reasons:
1) They nicely gave me a bottle of wine when I arrived but forgot the corkscrew.
2) The cottage is a studio, so space is at a premium. As a result, the bed isn't super comfortable/large.

Overall, a great spot to stay if you are looking for a stand alone space in PA. I wouldn't stay here with more than one person but for a single person out on a work trip (like I was), you'll be hard pressed to find a better choice.
