We stayed at David's wonderful home and neighbourhood for a month, so affording a real opportunity to appreciate all on offer over an extended period. David's instructions about arriving and using his many facilities - including hot tub, high end coffee machine, excellent large TV including Cable and Netflix, etc - were clear and helpful. The house is beautifully furnished, and an ideal size for us as a couple. Our adult child also stayed for a week and this worked fine. The kitchen is well equipped with all the usual gadgets, and the excellent back yard was a lovely way to enjoy Palo Alto's ideal summer climate. The house location is fantastic - just 15 minutes (walking) from the main drag (University Avenue), a couple of minutes stroll to Town & Country, with Trader Joe's and a host of other shops, restaurants and coffee places on offer, and of course Stanford University with its wonderful grounds - ideal for walks and cycling - and its impressive campus and buildings, including the Museum and Observation Deck. Although not officially a cul-de-sac, through traffic is rare on the road, and at night the area is quiet and peaceful. While staying at David's we had ample opportunity to sample all that the wider area had to offer - walks at the Stanford Dish, local cycles using the bikes graciously made available by David, and several of the local and varied restaurants. All in all a wonderful experience provided by a most courteous and helpful host - thank you!
