I stayed at this location for a month for a work trip. The hosts are very professional and access to the apartment is seamless with the combination code. The location is amazing and safe! Very close access to downtown Palo Alto. 5–10-minute walk to several restaurants, coffee shops and more. There is also plenty of dedicated parking in the back which is convenient. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and had a pleasant experience.
That all being said, there were some minor issues that surprised me. The apartment and appliances felt outdated and worn (i.e., kitchen bar is loose and wobbled, the office chair is defective, the mattress is stiff and not very comfortable). Probably most significant — the thermostat didn’t work well and the apartment either ran hot if heat was on or cold if we turned it off to adjust.
Lastly, the apartment is at the first floor at the front of the building, so your living room faces the road reducing your privacy.
